Amazing Grace - First Position - First Octave

This song was played on a Hohner Special 20 diatonic harmonica in the key of Bb.

This version is played in the first position on the first octave. It is a little easier to play than the second position first octave version because of the mix of blow and draw notes. Stay tuned for several other ways to play this song; first position second octave, second position second octave, second position first octave, and maybe even a version or two in the third position.

I am a New York City musician and music teacher. Most of my new students are total beginners.

I have musically mentored many kids. I have vast experience teaching children age 5 and older.

I teach people of all ages (it is never too late to learn), and all abilities (beginner, intermediate, and advanced). I play and teach all styles of diatonic and chromatic harmonica: specializing in Irish melodies and Chicago Blues technique.

Some of my favorite blues harp players are: Little Walter, William Clarke, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Paul Butterfield, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, John Popper, and Bob Dylan. We can study the blues licks and the harmonica styles of any of these great artists.

I wrote an original harmonica boogie:
