How to play 'The Last Post' | Harmonica Lesson & Tabs

This is a diatonic harmonica lesson for The Last Post. No bends so good for beginners, but there are some fast notes to get your chops around. Good luck!

The tab system

The song is tabbed out for diatonic harmonica (in any key). The symbols I use are pretty basic - positive numbers are blow, negative numbers are draw.
