The "Battle Hymn of the Republic", also known as "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory" outside of the United States, is a popular American patriotic song by the abolitionist writer Julia Ward Howe.
Howe wrote her lyrics to the music of the song "John Brown's Body" in November 1861 and first published them in The Atlantic Monthly in February 1862. The song links the judgment of the wicked at the end of the age (through allusions to biblical passages such as Isaiah 63:1–6 and Revelation 14:19) with the American Civil War.
Tune Basics is the popular music education series created by #musician/content creator Kerin Gedge (That's Me). It's purpose is to teach anybody who wants to learn the very basics of how to play Musical Instruments which includes DiatonicHarmonica, TremoloHarmonica with 24 holes, Tremolo Harmonica with 16 holes, Tremolo Harmonica with 20 holes, ChromaticHarmonica, kalimba with ten keys, recorder and PennyWhistle (also known as TinWhistle).
Tune Basics aims to introduce he student with clear animated instructions for how to play basic and recognisable songs. Tune Basics avoids delving into technique or styles but will, where possible, provide relevant links to professional musicians who can take the learner deeper when they want to move on from basic lessons.
TuneBasics also provides HarmonicaTabs TinWhistleTabs /PennyWhistleTabs and KalimbaTabs on the Tune Basics blog, link provided above. Please be sure to browse my harmonica TABS list as there may be harmonica tabs there that haven't yet been made into a tutorial for this channel!
TuneBasics believes that ANYONE can learn to play harmonica (or whatever instrument for that matter!). It doesn’t matter how old you are or what you don't know about music. If you can follow the this how to video then you’re well on your way to becoming a musician. But don’t expect to “get it” over night. Practicing your instrument will always make perfect. Sometimes you may need to watch these tutorials a few times to get the hang of a song. Most melodies on Tune Basics are broken up into simple manageable phrases so learn one phrase at a time! Pause, practice and then continue. And when you’re ready to move onto more complicated lessons check out Liam Ward at learntheharmonica.com or Tomlin Lecki at tomlinharmonicalessons.com. Did I mention they're awesome? And way better harmonica players than me!

What else can I tell you?
If this isn't the song for you or you're looking for something else to play on your harmonica then click on my playlists! I have tons of other easy songs available for not just the diatonic harmonica but also for Tremolo and Chromatic! Am I repeating myself? But seriously, check out my playlists!
All my tutorials are made using Adobe Animate. Special thanks to Unsplash for the stock photos and Logic Pro X for the audio which I painstakingly record myself!
The harmonica sounds are unfortunately made with a Sampler. What you hear in these videos is actually my harmonica which has been recorded and modified on Logic Pro X, which is why it sounds "synthy"... but doing this way allows me to make my tutorials faster!
Finally special thanks to Free-Notes.net (https://www.free-notes.net/cgi-bin/no...) who for many of my tutorials have helped me greatly while hunting for the notes for my lessons. I really hope you subscribe and share my work. Though this is mainly a massive labour of love, my personal love for making music, it is also nice to see my subscriber base grow! Keep practicing and remember to have fun with your practicing! We say "play an instrument" for a reason! Have fun and play!
