How to Bend Notes & Easy Bending Licks - Beginner Blues Harmonica Lesson & Tab

Updated: Mar 25

Hello! In today's harmonica lesson we'll be learning to bend notes and trying some easy bending licks. We'll be playing over a classic 12 bar blues shuffle backing track (I sell a full set of backing tracks in my store). You will need clean notes for this lesson, so make sure you know how to play single notes first. I hope you enjoy the lesson!


Here are the harp tabs for the blues licks in this lesson:


A (x2):

-4 -> -4/ 4 -3 -2


B (x2):

1 2 -2 -2


A (x1)

-4 -> -4/ 4 -3 -2


C:

-5 -4 4 -4 4 3 -2 -2


D:

-2 -2 -2 -2 2 -1 -1


Thanks for studying with me today. I hope you enjoyed the lesson!
