For those who haven't heard it:



There was an older tab which had quite a few mistakes, missing notes, chords, bends and even the key of the song was incorrect. It's played on a Bb harp in second position (F). So I plugged the song into ASD and went through it.

What I came up with is, I hope, much more helpful. If you notice any errors let me know. There's probably a couple.

Tab here.

I like that.

That must have taken a bit of work!! It's tricky to get the nuances of a player tabbed but you seem to have done a pretty good job.

I've had a quick look and the only one I can clearly spot that you might like to amend if you agree is on line 19. If you mean to say it is a 3 step bend on 3 draw I believe it is 2 step bend on 3 draw. There are other tricky bits that are hard to get a handle on tab wise.

FWIW I had it a little bit different on line 17.

Right you are Grey Owl, what do you have for line 17, was it a 4 blow missing?

Yes it was the 4 blow. The chord section I'm hearing is[+1+2+3]-1[+1+2+3]-2[+1+2+3]-1[+1+2+3]-2-3+4 -4*...../-4 and I'm not sure he grabs hold of that last chord and just plays +2 instead? Those short chord embellishments are interesting.

No worries!

@Grey Yeah the chords were interesting, he really emphasises the 2 blow, - it's distinct from the chords.

On listening back, you're right, he doesn't use the chord on the final 2 blow, although there is something there, maybe a little leaking on either side. Good catch!

Yeah right. He kind of plays the chord then quickly closes the embouchure to the briefly hit the single note.
