I am an intermediate player at best. I recently heard the J.J.Blues harmonica riff on Tom Pettys' new album MOJO, and Have been noodling on it since. Does it start with a blow bend on an "A" harp? Any hints or tabs out here?

Wow, that's kinda cool. No harps handy right now, but thanks for bringing that to my attention.

I believe it's a 4 draw on a D. I think it goes 4d,4bent,4b,3d,2d. Might be wrong,hope somebody checks me.
And I think he lets a little of the 5 leak in on the 4 draw.
Listened again. He varies it. Sometimes adds a 4 draw slur at the end of the riff.
