Complete beginner needs help for two songs he'd like to learn and play

[u/MisterDuff]

Hello everyone

So I've started playing harmonica exactly a week ago now, and for someone who's listening to a lot of music but has never played an instrument in their life, I think I'm doing pretty well all things considered. I'm loving it so much more than I even thought!

I started with the basics (single notes, easy songs, bending, etc.), but I think and have read before that it's important to have "early wins," i.e., songs that I know, like, and actually want to play.

But I'm having problems with the two songs I'm aiming for:

The first one is Bob Dylan's "Queen Jane Approximately" (the harp solo around 3:10-4:00): I couldn't find any tab, so I worked out the notes by ear, and I can play about three quarters of it on my Hohner SP20 in C, but for the life of me I'm stuck here:

67 -5 7 8 -6 67
-6 67 -6 7 -6 6 -4
7 -6 7 9 -6 6 -6 6 67
???   56

My second "early win" goal is the short Hugh Laurie rendition of "Georgia on My Mind" from House M.D. (2:40-3:00). I'm pretty sure he's not playing a C harp, since there are a lot of notes I can't reproduce on mine, let alone with my mouth positioned the same way he is. I did find a good tab for a C-harp variant that I'm currently learning, but I don't like it as much because it doesn't have the same edge … the notes are way lower. So I'm guessing the harmonica he's using is tuned higher than C?

So here are the two questions I'd really appreciate your time, help, and knowledge on:

• Which notes does Dylan play at the end of his solo? Is he even using a C harp?
• For Georgia on My Mind, how is Laurie's harmonica tuned? And would that be an interesting or smart second instrument for me to buy?

Obviously I know that those two songs are probably much harder than what I need to focus on right now but still, I'd very much like to set them as goals in my learning

Thank you very much for your help!

I don’t know if I can help much. But there’s a good website for Dylan harmonica keys: https://dylanchords.com/content/dylans-harp-keys
