On request:

Here is the tab of 'Essence of the night', a composition of Chris Michalek on a Aebersold track (vol 5). I've tabbed it note for note. Hope lots of you learn to play it so his music can live on.

Tab is in Adam Gussow's notation. For 3 hole bends: W = whole step, WH = whole and a half step. Overblows/Overdraws are with double arrows. The hole is below the arrow. Above the arrow is how the note relates to the underlying chord. The chords are written in black under the notes. To learn it: LISTEN to his or my recording (mine is a bit slower). Any questions: Mail me.

Have fun with it!

Watch out: He plays on a Bb harp in 3rd pos. I play it on an A harp in 3rd pos. (I shifted the backing track down a half step)

Thanks for your work on this Micha, it is much appreciated. Now where did I put my A harmonica? :)

Awesome, I'll check it out later Micha! I'm scholastically curious what your reason for choosing A harp when he did in Bb? The required notes are easier?

@RyanMortos:
It's not like that. I shifted the backing track down a half step and played the song in the same position on an A harp. The notes are exactly the same (you would never be able to sound the same way in a different position). The reason was that at that time I liked my A harp more than my Bb harp ;).
