Need a tutorial on how to read harmonica tab?

When you’re finished here, go check out my other free harmonica tabs.

Introduction
The recording of My Shoes by South African artist Jeremy Loops uses a G harmonica, but it’ll work on any diatonic 10-hole harp. I’ll show you the basics for the intro chord and explain some beatbox harmonica techniques, then show you the pattern for the song.

Play everything here on holes 1 and 2.

Long draw chord (in)

While breathing in on holes 1 and 2, move your tongue slowly forward from back of throat to the teeth and backwards again. This creates a sound effect that might remind you of space movies or the Doppler effect you hear as a car drives by.
