I’m playing part of a song entitled ‘Give a little’ from Michel Herblin’s excellent ‘Golden Melodies’ CD. I know some of the Forum will be familiar with his work but if you aren’t he is a very talented French harmonica player who writes his own material. His first album was called ‘Matins Aux Pommes.’

I believe it is in 1st position on a Bb harp, I’d like to say I played it on a Golden Melody but as I haven’t got one in that key I’m playing a Special 20.

Thanks a lot Harp-er @ Jodan. Shoulders from this forum put me onto him and I seem to remember 'Buddha' had a lot of respect for him as a player.

I have written a tab of what I believe Michel is playing, mine differs slightly with the use of a few glissandos.

'Give a little' by Michel Herblin:

'Golden Melodies' CD

Using a Bb harmonica.

-3=draw hole 3: +5=blow hole 5: +6ob=overblow hole 6:
-2*=half step draw bend on 2,: -3**=whole step draw bend on 3 :
-6/-6*= draw on 6 to half step draw bend on 6
(-4gliss-2) = quick slide from draw 4 to draw 2
9*/+9 = blow bend on 9 to blow 9
