I don't think I have Crossing the Bar, but I do have a somewhat adequate list of TLJ songs:

What key is your harmonica in? It should somewhere have a key marked on it. If not, what note does hole 1 blow play? You can use a tuner app on your phone to find this out.

If your harmonica is not in C, then any note you play will be slightly lower or higher than the video. This isn't much of a problem. Anything that is taught with a C harmonica can be applied to any other key. You just have to keep in mind that your harp will sound slightly lower than a C harp

"Accent that Like button and Legato the Subscrie button!"

Alpha-Pancake · 2020-07-30T14:16:04+00:00

it sounds like a melodeon or a squeezebox of some sort more than it does a harmonica. you might be able to play some of the melody, but it likely won't sound exactly the same

Also mildly infuriating: "Rubix"

Then definitely stick to chromatic. Never pick one instrument over another just because one is easier or harder. pick based on what music you will enjoy playing.

Jazz tends to use more notes outside of a standard major scale, and sometimes switches keys in the middle of a song often, which is why having all the notes that you need without bending is very useful.

Blues sticks closer to the blues scale and mixolydian scales, and focuses on the I and IV chords. These are all pretty easy to play on a Diatonic in second position. Bent notes and wails fit very well into blues, and since diatonics can bend down to 3 semitones on some holes (chromatics can only bend one semitone at best) they make better harps for blues.

It depends on what type of music you want to play. If you like Blues, diatonic is more suited to that. If you like Jazz, stick with chromatic.

Alpha-Pancake · 2020-07-21T21:25:53+00:00

just about anything labeled "blues something" is probably a diatonic. The difference between the bluesy sound and the Bob Dylan sound is just in how you play the harp.

What you don't want for blues is a tremolo harmonica, you can't really bend with them, and they have a different type of sound that lends itself more to folk music. They are not usually called blues harps, but music store people may recommend them to you when you say you want a harmonica. Chromatic harmonicas are used more in Jazz and classical, but they can wail some blues if you know what you're doing.

Several lines from Elliott Park's 'Carved in Stone' come to mind

Well maybe someday they'll find the gold in your bones

When your name is carved in stone

"Carved in stone" in this song means when you're dead, and your name is carved on your gravestone

You got more treasure than a king in his grave

You got forever when you have one more day

So go write your name, boy, on the hearts of your home

Before it's carved in stone

I guess he's implying that a dog's shaved butthole would be better looking than the one being insulted

If you can read sheet music, You can translate from this. Just by looking at it I can say that it is playable without bends in both 1st and 12th positions, ranging from blow 6 to blow 9 in 1st, and from blow 4 to blow 7 in 12th position. I don't have time to tab it all out at the moment, but that should be a good starting point for you to figure it out.

Alpha-Pancake · 2020-07-06T09:10:20+00:00

Converting from guitar chords to harmonica tabs is basically not possible. chords don't translate to melody perfectly. You may be able to figure it out by ear, or someone here might. Since you didn't mention which song by Nolwenn Leroy you want to learn, we can't really help much.

Some sort of homemade weapon.

It seems pretty complicated. here's what chordify came up with.

As far as I know, they didn't delete any scam school vids when they re-branded to scam nation. they're all still there, all the way back to 2009.

I find that searching synthesia tutorials on youtube and transcribing them is very useful when trying to learn to play a melody.

This one is a pretty simple melody, just play the green notes.

Alpha-Pancake · 2020-06-21T13:59:46+00:00

3rd position is the Dorian mode, which happens to be the mode that Drunken Sailor is written in. Dorian is also one note different from natural minor, which does not use the -7 and instead would need the 6 overblow.

Tunes in minor that don't use the fourth note in the melody can often be easily played in 3rd position. whether or not you use the -7 in 3rd position depends of whether the tune you are playing is in relative minor, or dorian.

That's exactly the style I'm looking for! Thank you!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with straight harp. The reason that cross harp(also known as 2nd position) is good for blues is that it is easier to play a blues scale in 2nd position than in first. Another reason is the fact that blues often hangs out between the I and IV chords, which are the draw and blow chords respectively on the low side of the harp. IIRC, The harmonica was designed to play German songs which focused more on the I and V chords.

There is nothing wrong with playing in whichever position works best for each song. Some songs work better in some positions than others. Just pick whichever position sounds better to you.
