You've changed your tabbing approach? I was expecting to see scale degrees.
When you score that Bb isn't it usual to treat it the way you do the Db later in the piece? I'm not much of a reader but I thought the convention was that once a note was shown flatted, it was assumed to remain so until a return to natural was indicated. Or can you do it either way depending on which looks less messy? This script appears to do both.
Soz, I suppose really you're just sharing a tune. I just was remembering that thread about notation

No, only for the rest of the bar. Each new bar starts over at the default key signature.

no, not really changed my tabbing approach

this is for non music readers

music readers would read the notation, since by now
they have learned to read music onto their harmonica :-))

the )# above the B flats are to tell us that we are
after the 'sharp B flat' or the 'bent up B flat' of
the guitar, blue third, as explained by Adam G.

Could have sworn you wrote scale degrees before. Now it looks like you're indicating chambers and breath direction.

  • find the 1, learn its sound

  • practice 1 2 3 4 5

  • show that in music notation with note numbers and note names


  • learn to play tunes from note numbers

  • learn to play tunes from note names

  • connect this with music notation

  • practice, practice



  • no more note numbers

  • no more note names



  • read music notation

Superbee - Yes you're right. Joe did use scale degrees as tab in some previous posts. This one is written in more standard harp tab.
