Midnight Cowboy | Harmonica Lesson and Free Harp Tabs

Hello! In today's free harmonica lesson you'll learn to play the soundtrack theme to the movie Midnight Cowboy on a key of C harmonica (You can follow the tabs with a harmonica in the key of C or any other key.)

This theme was originally played by Toots Thielemans on chromatic harmonica, but I have adapted it to play on 10 hole diatonic (blues) harmonica. There are both bends and overblows, so this lesson is more suited to an intermediate or advanced player than to beginners.
