i am trying to teach a couple of kids some rudimentary blues harp and we picked out "Roll and Tumble" blues last week. in trying to write down all the moves i make to get the harp part i've realized i'm in way over my head! so i figure if i at least start with a basic tab, i can then kind of overlay other stuff, like" tap your tongue on the roof of your mouth" or " slide the harp back and forth and get that trill on the 3 and 4 draw".
anyone have a basic harp tab for this song? i may need it this afternoon. thanks in advance!

When, 2 days ago you said," I need it this afternoon", I said, "I'm too late"

Rollin' and Tumblin' was one of the first songs I learned via Jon Gindick's Robert Johnson cassette tape. I looked, but I cannot find the paperwork that had the tabs printed out. Now I'll have to tab it put via memory. And I bet it won't be a version taht you want, but I'll put up something in a day or two.

Also, per Jon Gindick, the other name for the song is "If I had possesion of Judgement Day". We sometimes do it in The Harmonioca Clb. I might just call it out when we meet tonight (2 hours away).

Not really a beginner song perhaps, but I'd play the main riff

2d 3d' 4b 3d' 2d 3d' 2d

for timing, the beats land on the 2nd, 3rd and 6th note (and one after the last note before starting again)

hope helps
