Hi people!

I've been playing guitar for a few years now and have got quite a few
Neil Young songs in my repertoire. However, I haven't yet tried the
harmonica bits and am thinking of buying my first harmonica. So, does
anyone know which key harmonica Neil uses on "Out on the Weekend", one of
my favourite NY songs?

Thanks a lot,
Hank

Out On The Weekend uses a harmonica in C. It's also one of my favorites :)

Here's a list of a few Neil songs and what key harmonica they use:

Enjoy!

You have good taste in song favorites.

I'm actually pretty sure it's the A harp. I have one and play the song
... it works.

Yep, you're right. I just noticed the link I posted lists the song under
both the A and C harp. I'm guessing he played it in a different key or
in a different tuning at a live show sometime? Or maybe the listmaker
just made a mistake.

In any case, Turvyc is right. It's the A harp. Thanks for the correction :)
