The G harmonica is a much lower tuning than the C harmonica, and so it produces a timbre that sounds less “screechy.” If you want to be able to play along with original recording or with other musicians who are performing the song in the record key, you’ll need to pick up a G harmonica. In the video lesson below, I’m going to teach you “Heart of Gold” a C harmonica because C is the best key harmonica for beginners to start with, and many beginner harmonica players don’t own a G harmonica. The melodies and rhythms that Neil Young plays here are more evocative and exciting than anything Bob Dylayn ever played on harmonica, for example, in my humble opinion. The original Heart of Gold recording is in the key of G, played by Neil Young on a 10-hole diatonic harmonica in the key of G in 1st position, and in my opinion, this is some high quality folk style harmonica playing. Not only will this lesson give you the ability to play along with the Heart of Gold recording, a jam track, or best of all with other musicians who are playing it, it will also give you a great framework for being able to make up your own folk-style 1st position harmonica solos on many other songs you may want to play, cos you’ll really be able to put your heart into it. “Where we’re at now, compared to where we were 10 years ago, is just horrific.Why Every Harmonica Player Should Learn Heart of Gold “So it’s something that I’m really wrestling with, but I’m leaning towards retiring it because it’s just too painful,” Foster told Billboard. But now, Foster is having second thoughts. Initially, Foster the People used this song’s virality as a platform to speak out about gun violence. Hence why the troubled Robert targeted the kids with the pumped up kicks-he wasn’t like them.


This price point likely caused jealousy among kids because not everyone could afford them. The Reebok Rump was also pretty expensive at the time, initially selling for $170. In 1991, this sneaker peaked in popularity when Dee Brown of the Boston Celtics won the Slam Dunk Contest in the shoes. When wearing the shoe, you had the option of physically pumping up the sneaker to inflate a better fit. Foster is likely referring to the ’80s and ’90s somewhat popular shoe, the Reebok Pump basketball shoe.
