[@ethanpaquet7906]

Great tutorial! Could you do a tutorial for the harmonica in Bowie's "A New Career In A New Town"?

[@Learntheharmonica]

Thanks Ethan, I'll look into it :)

[@patrickhermon1052]

Thanks for all the helpful vids. Ive just started learning and they are excellent. Please can you do Follow the Sun by Xavier Rudd. Theres a really lovely harmonica bit and im sure its not too difficult but the timing is kind of tricky.

[@Learntheharmonica]

+Patrick Hermon Thanks Patrick, I'll check out that tune :) Liam

First off, great video. I'm very new to the harmonica and I've been enjoying practicing this as a distinctive but relatively simple song to learn. A question though, in the graphic you have a -4 in the verse but in your verbal description you say it's a 4 blow, which is right?

[@Learntheharmonica]

Sorry, it's a 4 blow. I've corrected it in the description below the video but it's too late for me to correct the actual graphic on the video itself. Cheers. Liam

[@bowieowens7]

Understand completely. Thanks Liam for clearing that up.

[@vilmarae]

Great video! What type of harmonica did David Bowie use? I am a bit lost with the different types...

[@Learntheharmonica]

Thanks for watching. I don't know the exact model but it was a 10 hole diatonic harmonica (like the one I'm using in the video). No buttons on the end! Hope that helps. Cheers, Liam

[@vilmarae]

+LearnTheHarmonica.com thank you! yes, that helps a lot. cheers liam! Xx

[@h2er80]

My band plays a semitone down so what key harp would I use? Grateful if you can advise! thanks

[@Learntheharmonica]

You'd need an Ab (A flat) harmonica :)
