Of course, on hole 10, you won’t be able to perform the blow bending to play the B note if you’re a beginner, but this doesn’t matter – you don’t actually need it to play Jurassic Park. Do you know where they are on the harmonica? I’ll give you a hint: start from the 4+ hole, and for the high octave, from 7+. Here are the notes: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and C. Is there an exercise that can help you play the Jurassic Park theme more easily? Of course! If you practice the major scale notes in the first position on the two harmonica octaves – on holes 1 to 4 and 4 to 7 – you will see that everything will come better and sooner than you expect! In practice, instead of an overblow on hole 5, we’ll perform a hole 5 aspirated, and while we won’t play the hole 6 overblow, we’ll instead keep the previous note on hole 4 blow. However, don’t worry – in the tabs you can find on this page and in the videos, I wrote both the original notes and the alternative ones to make the lesson easier. Benefiting from the placement of the notes on the harmonica, you have almost everything you need to perform the melodies except in a couple of points.
In which position will we play Jurassic Park? As I said, we will use a harmonica in C, and we’ll be playing in first position. Of course, the chords that form the backing track also follow the same tonality. The original key of the soundtrack is B flat, but since this lesson is intended for beginners, I have recreated the melodies with a harmonica in C. Let’s go back to how to play the Jurassic Park theme on the harmonica. This way of composing and performing the songs is important, and helps to convey the emotions in the listener when it happens, it feels like there is an 'explosion' and the music expands. For example, in the first part, the melody is played on a lower octave, while in the second part, other instruments are added and played on a higher octave. The main theme can therefore be interpreted in various ways. The last step will be playing on the backing track.įirst of all, I want to explain that this type of soundtrack is a symphony, and in performing it, there are several instruments that play together (an ensemble). How should you study this song? I suggest you learn the single small licks first, using a metronome to help you, and once you have these down, practice alongside the play-along.
You’ll also find the slow version of the videos for starting your practice in a more relaxed way. As I normally do with my lessons, both the play-along video and the backing track video are provided, and you can download the tabs.
