So, this is at either 100 or 120 bpm, I don’t remember. I kind of crashed and burn on the second time through, but I recovered and cleaned the third. I hyperventilated for an hour after this… anyway it’s fun
Fire on the Mountain on Harmonica!

Which reminds me of that old joke about a mouse who goes into a music shop and asks for a mouth organ and the owner says ‘Weren’t you in here yesterday?’ and the mouse says 'No, that must have been our Monica (harmonica) 
I’ll get ma coat…

Thanks! I don’t need the oxygen canister, it has the same effect as hyperventilation. If you ever climb a mountain into thin air, just play some harmonica and you’ll be fine

That was great! You should keep that in your repertoire and also carry around a jaw harp you can give guests to sit in with you.

It never even occurred to me that harmonica tabs existed, but that’s actually pretty interesting! @Hillbilly_picker are you looking for harmonica tabs or banjo tabs? Fire on the Mountain is basically just made up of pentatonic scales, plus the fourth.

And that little smile-slash-grimace Gunnar had at the beginning of the video was great

Harmonica tabs, harmonica is the instrument that got me playing instruments, and I learned a bunch of cover songs but I played them real simple, and stopped playing before I learned licks and tricks that make that bluegrass sound😥

Alright, Harmonica Tab is so weird, but I got it made. The v means draw and ^ means blow. A number with a - means whole step bend. I play it on a key of D harmonica

Try changing the shape of your mouth from an E to an O or an OOH. Experiment from there
