Helo! Today we're learning to play The Holly and The Ivy on diatonic harmonica. You'll get a video lesson plus free tabs as well. Happy holidays!
The Holly & The Ivy is a great old carol for a harmonica player to learn because its gentle, flowing melody is perfect for practicing smooth transitions between notes. The steady rhythm will help you focus on your breath control and creating a clean, clear tone on each note.
Did you know?
This song is one of the oldest English Christmas carols still in common use today. It is believed to have roots in a much older tradition, with the holly and ivy representing a kind of battle of the sexes in pagan folklore.
Thanks for following my lessons. Merry Christmas!
