How to play "Saint Isabelle" by the Nightwatchman

Page: 1

hari_kari_lord 1 post Oct 19, 2017 7:37 PM	Hi there, I'm a beginner harmonica player, and would like to learn to play the opening harmonica notes in The Nightwatchman's "Saint Isabelle". Does anyone have tips on how to figure out the notes played? The key used? Any tips are much appreciated!

He makes a slight concession to the dominant chord (F#) and therefore emphasises 4D a some point. Tune is in B, as it comes out on YT anyway. He´s very much playing "beginner´s harmonica" (pace Bob D) so it could be a good tune to start on.
