This is a free harmonica lesson for The Last Post. There are no bends so it's a great song for beginners, but there are some fast notes to get your chops around. Good luck!

The tab system

The song is tabbed out for diatonic harmonica (in any key). The symbols I use are pretty basic - positive numbers are blow, negative numbers are draw.
