Okay, this rhythm has got me hooked. It is in the key of C but I cannot get it on a diatonic. Any chance this might have been played on a 364 solo tuned MB?
The nearest I got to the main rhythm was -3' -3' with a little slurry bending -2 2 -1 -1 2 2 -1 -1 2 2 -1
Tabs are useless trying to describe how it goes but that's the basis I started with.
Anyone trying to crack this may find this 2 minute loop of the main rhythm useful. Slow it down if you have the gear. Let us know how you get on and what you think is happening here.
Tooka, that is interesting. I was thinking cords and some blows in there. I know that about 10 seconds he hits the 4 draw. I wil be working on this for the next few weeks. I have it slowed down on Capo.

If only it was that easy @Zad. There's a lot going on there. I think I'm getting a bit closer with my experiments but I couldn't begin to explain what I'm doing yet. It's mysterious this harp business.
Okay, I slowed this down to 1/2 with Capo and if I start on the double -3' it slides past the -2 to the -1 twice to the 2 twice back to the -1 twice back to the 2 twice then the -1 twice bro free going back to the 2 twice.
However the syncopated rhythm has got this older white guy tied up in knots and flexibility is not a key strength of mine.
