I am watching the videos and so far cant blow a good note but I understand that with time and practice this will come. My question is, are there any pink floyd songs that I can eventually learn being a beginner? I understand that there are more appropriate beginner songs to start with but I would like to give myself a goal and since I like pink floyd so much I want to make that my goal. Thanks in advance for your help.

I googled "Pink Floyd Harmonica" and the very first thing that comes up is a tab for Wish You Were Here. Aint Google great! Anyway another good source for tabs Is Harptabs.com but WARNING: Google currently has that site on some kind of virus quarentine. Appernently Google has detected malware on the site. You'll see when you go.

I was a big Pink Floyd fan when they first started, can't remember ever hearing any harp playing from them.

Check the Video above, Rbee. You got to listen to more than The Wall or Dark Side. David Gilmour played harp on occasional tracks. Check this one out.



And just because they didn't play harp on a particular song doesn't mean you can't.

Generally speaking, most Pink Floyd tunes are not complicated at all : it's often based on a few basic chords easy to find on the harp.

FWIW google is rather paranoid in blacklisting. I don't think visiting harptabs will be too much of a scary prosoect especially if you up your browser security settings first.

If you want to be extra safe, download and install malwarebytes anti-malware and spywareblaster first (both free and brilliant) . Oh and type the URL in the address bar, don't go via google.

...or just run unix based OS - hackers run unix - they don't like to crap in their own back garden.

You could tackle 'Seamus'! Consistently voted the worst ever Pink Floyd song!

It's not often Gilmour comes off a bit naff, but on this occassion he certainly did. Haha, up the Roger!!
