    I learned how to play this song by ear, and I'm such a big fan of the Moomins! Now I know I got the notes right.

    I'm buying a harmonica at 44 because I discovered Moomins for the first time and I just couldn't help but totally falling in love with Snufkin, so this is gonna be the first song I practice as soon as it arrives. Thank you

    Thanks for making this! I just got into the Moomin fandom, and I happen to have a harmonica but never knew how to play it. Even as an absolute beginner, I was able to easily understand this tutorial and now I can at least kinda play the song (needs some work though). I hope to see some other Snufkin song tutorials sometime (if there aren't more already)!

    I recently learned how to play both Snufkin’s tune and Love Me Do on my harmonica, which is funny because both Snufkin and John Lennon are personal idols of mine who both played harmonicas with their own unique backstories (Snufkin inherited his from his sick aunt, while John stole his from a shop in Ireland while on a trip).

    I can’t really read music very well when it has things like g, f and d but I was wondering is anyone could help me with turning it into numbers eg 5, 6 etc. my mum likes Moomin and I want to learn it to teach her…

    • @KerinGedge

      well in this case just follow this finger, you can ignore the letters entirely. But if you were to google harmonica tabs you'll find that most tabs focus on the numbers any way. Is your harminica in the key of C? Let me know what key it is in and I can tell you another trick.

    Can I play this the same on a Chromatic Harmonica? I just got mine today and I assume it’s the same, just don’t use the slide. If it’s entirely different, I’d love a video for the chromatic harmonica for this song if you could.

      No not really, not for starting out at least, the only difference will be the pitch, but the TABS will be exactly the same.

    As someone who's not a harmonica player, what type of harmonica would you recommend for this? (and a beginner looking to start)
    Diatonic, chromatic, or tremolo?

    • @KerinGedge
      @KerinGedge  4 роки тому +1

      I'd say the most common to start with is a diatonic... however, I discovered a while after making this that one of the notes is not quite right, meaning the song can only be played 100% properly on a chromatic... check out this lesson by Liam Ward and you'll see what I mean ua-cam.com/video/HWysH3909QE/v-deo.html
