So, which songs should i try to play, I'm a beginner and I don't know how to start, thank you...

Josip,

Pick songs you know very well, and aim for "simple". For me, I got a big developmental boost playing kids songs...I don't know if the songs you knew as a kid are the same I did, so it's hard to recommend a particular song. Pick some and search the tabs on this site for them, and play them over and over. Don't worry if any of them are not a simple as you thought - many are harder to play than to sing. If you are having trouble with a song, move on to another...

Mary had a little lamb...and of course.PRACTISE...PRACTISE...PRACTISE

I started with Beatles songs. Easy stuff like Yellow Submarine and With a Little Help From my Friends. These songs are great because there are no complicated movements around the harmonica like jumping from one end to the other and the rhythms are all very easy to memorize.

I started with

From beatles real easy for harmonica

Yesterday, Let it be, Hey Jude

Nachtmusic from Mozart, AL weber Phantom of opera, 9th sypony or od to joy


not difficulf for me or just begin with Happy birthday song, silent night short version + later add hand vibrato to silent night and do more variations

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star lol

well DO-RE-MI, twinkle , old macdonal, abcd song, jingle bells short version

Summertime sounds pretty good from the get-go and there are a few variations of it.
Moon River sounds good to. Forty years later I still love playing them.

I started with When the saints go marching in, I play it now but a very jazzed up vesion and incorparate some chords.

I second Walts suggestion Moon River it's simple yet if you can incorparate feeling to it sounds beautiful.

only been playn a few months, n hey jude seems easy enough, sounds good 2 when u get it right. im also learning amazing grace and love, love me do! good luck dude

Under my name there is plenty of "Beginers" songs, and some blues practices like blues 101.Joya wrote:

I started off with nursary rhymes in general, that coupled with a lot of practise.

My very first attempt at "music" was twinkle twinkle and then I moved on to a lot of other tabs. now I can play any tab as long as it doesn't have a bend because I started four days ago...

That really depends on what kind of songs you like. If you know a (simple) song that you just can't get out of your head and you are humming it all the time, that would be a perfect start.

For me, one of those is the "Forrest Gump" title song, and i somehow missed it that there are tabs for it on harptabs.com: http://www.harptabs.com/song.php?ID=16894.

I usually don't do this (i'm not a very good player), but i uploaded my take on it to Youtube:

Way to go, Cavac. I don't have the nerve to post anything on youtube.

I liked it too, what a great tone you have.

Sounds like you are better than you think or admit you are, also lets us hear that your mini six has good tone as you stated in your review of it. Good job.

Thanks for the encouraging words

If you want my advice ... do not start with songs .. am new just like you ..

To say the truth .. within two to three days you'll be able to play alot of song directly reading from tabs ..
Yet I advice to start practicing the scale itself Do Re Mi till you drop .. practice it till each person knows you start shouting ..

Then go for the song you know the most .. as the guyz above advised .. aim for easy .. slow .. and for sure you like ...

I started with Red River Valley, but have settled on Amazing Grace for a while. I started with an easy version from Harmonica Americana and have focussed on putting feeling into it and adding decorations as I've gotten better.
