Do They Know It's Christmas? Band Aid - Christmas Free Harmonica Lesson

Today's lesson is focused on Do They Know It's Christmas by Band Aid.


Originally written and released in 1984 to raise money for the 1983–1985 famine in Ethiopia, the song has been recorded a number of times. The latest iteration, in 2024, marks the 40th year since its original release. There is controversy over the song - which you can read about here.


Back to the harmonica, here is the free lesson.



You'll need a diatonic harmonica in the key of C. If you haven't already got one, you can buy one by clicking here. You don't have to use this link; if you do then I get a small commission.



You can find a jam-track for this song by clicking here (the link takes you to a YouTube video).
