Today's free beginner harmonica lesson is "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" by the Hollies. The song introduction and harmonica solo are both covered in the video. We'll be using a harmonica in the key of G but you can follow the harp tabs with any key of harp.

To me, this is one of the most iconic harmonica parts of all time and a must-learn for aspiring harmonica players.

Everyone knows the version by the Hollies, but the song was originally recorded by Kelly Gordon, and was also a hit for Neil Diamond in 1970. The Hollies' version was a big hit in the UK again on its re-release in 1988.

I hope you enjoy learning these awesome harmonica parts. Thanks for taking my free harmonica lessons!
