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)!
Snufkin is one of my main inspirations to learn harmonica. But I never actually did it. Nom I started for different reasons and I remembered about Snufkin. Thank you for this video!
I am making a 24 hole one, it's just at this time of year I tend to get a flood of interest in Christmas songs so I've got to run with that for a while:) Good luck!
My brother got a harmonica yesterday and the first thing I thought of was snufkin and his spring tune so thank you for this video I'm still practicing the first part but I know it will be worth it!
thank you for writing out the notes! I've been trying to find snufkins harmonica melodies with notes for a while now, I was just about to give up and just figure it out myself when I saw this video. ofc, only finding harmonica tabs wouldn't have been an issue if I actually had a harmonica... oh well, I prefer my kalimba
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).

Could anybody help me out? 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… Thank you!
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.
@@KerinGedge hmm I don’t really know… sorry! It’s an old harmonica I found in my house, which quite frankly it just came into my house on a sunny morning! It has 10 holes in it which probably doesn’t help. If you know how to tell them that would be amazing! Thank you!
@@KerinGedge umm yeah I’m pretty sure! I haven’t watched it that much but I think that’s it. Btw thanks again for helping me! The tutorial is very good, with the fingers pointing at which hole to blow in. :)
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.
I'm working on it, this tutorial is not 100% accurate though, to play this song conpletely right you have to use a chromatic, go to learntheharmonica.com channel, there's a great tutorial there
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?
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
@@KerinGedge Thank you! This was what I was thinking as well. (Six hours ago when I wrote the comment I hadn't even looked up what chromatic was) Thanks for the quick response.
I had to put this into number form cuz my small smooth brain is weird like that, and that was such a funny experience. It was like cracking a code lmao cuz I was sittin there translating numbers into letters. I have a red and blue color-coded mess on a single sheet of printer paper and it's hilarious to look at.
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 just got my harmonica today and I'm excited to finally learn Snufkin's song :')
Cool! Did you master it? Thanks for watching :)
I sure hope you've learned the whole lineup by now, friend.

I don’t even play an instrument but I’m subbing because this is the most precious video I’ve ever watched. Thanks for the lesson regardless!
Best comment ever, thanks:)
The only reason I bought a harmonica was for *this* only. Thank you so much for having this video up!
cool, good luck!
Omg, this is the reason why I bought a harmonica. I was just scrolling through your channel and boom, it was right there.
Perfect!

Could anybody help me out?
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…
Thank you!
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.

Is the Moomin song the same as the one in my tutorial? Snufkin never aired in my country
@@KerinGedge umm yeah I’m pretty sure! I haven’t watched it that much but I think that’s it. Btw thanks again for helping me! The tutorial is very good, with the fingers pointing at which hole to blow in. :)

@@KerinGedge no rush, but it’s cool that you’re working on it
I’ve been trying to breathe into 3 on 4., but it sounds very muted and it’s very difficult to. Any advice?
What type of harmonica are you using?
Hi can you please give a tutorial of how to play believer by imagine dragons on the 24 holes harmonica
Hey, I wish I could but these days, to keep my channel safe, I only do public domain songs! Good luck!
As someone purely new. Mine has like 32 holes. is it still the same concept? Or do I have to do something different?
you have a tremolo harmonica with 16 holes... go to my playlists and find lessons for tremolo :)
What if my harmonica has much more holes?
Oh nvm it still sounds nice :)
If you need new tabs keep an eye on my TABS page, I try to add new tabs every week! tunebasics.blogspot.com/2019/09/harmonica-tabs.html
Does it matter if I buy a harmonica in the key C or G? Like, is there a specific difference?
No not really, not for starting out at least, the only difference will be the pitch, but the TABS will be exactly the same.
Sir can you play the song immaculate lady please ( 10keys harmonica please 😶)
Hey, I'm not familiar with that song, can you send me a link to it?

@@KerinGedge Thank you! This was what I was thinking as well.
(Six hours ago when I wrote the comment I hadn't even looked up what chromatic was)
Thanks for the quick response.
You dont need chromatic harmonia for playing this?
Technically you do if you want to hit the f# but in this version I just substitute it with an f and I dont think it sounds too bad
Could I use a ocarina instead?
I'm sure you most likely could play it on Ocarina
@@KerinGedge thanks I'll give it a shot
How did you go?
it's very much possible for anyone to write their own tabs after watching this?
Yep, but there's a link to the tabs in the description to save them the hassle:)
Man, does this include the regular flute?
I'll be making a tutorial for Tin Whistle and Recorder... not sure how the finger positions translate to flute though!
@@KerinGedge thanks anyway!
Hey, oops probably not this year... but I'll make some tabs today and stick them on my blog for you...
