Very cool, yet full of major 3rds over minor chords, especially when he starts with the high stuff with the 7 draw being the major 3rd. Still, I love Sugar Blue and his playing. There are other guys who are guilty of this same thing though besides Sugar Blue. Darrell Mansfield does the same thing.

I forgot that Sugar Blue played the harp on the Stones album. Sweet.

2D** 2D 4B 3D* 2D 2D** 2D (x2) 2D** 2D 3D* 3B

Tab is for 2d position (A minor on a D harp).

No, SB doesn't do OBs on any recording I've listened to. You have to be real careful soling on this tune because it is in a minor key so there are some avoid notes in second position and you MUST nail the 3D* bend on pitch.

Sugar squeezed out an overblow or two at HCH this year...
