Hello,
Anyone have any experience working out the tabs to Skip It by BWH? I believe it is in the key of C but probably played on a chromatic.
The first couple of measures sound to me like this (played on a diatonic):
4/5 draw pulsed
5/6 blow
Back to 4/5 draw
Up to 6 draw
Any thoughts?

If I remember correctly, try a solo tuned Marine Band 364. Tune is in the key of D.

D?
When I play over the song, C is the harp key that works best.

Marine Band 364 Solo Tuned in third position. Harp in key of C, tune is in D, if my memory serves me correctly.

The note layout on the 364S, which replaced the actual model BW used, which was the MB Soloist/Scool Band model (discontinued in 1975 and I've got two of them and NONE are for sale), is EXACTLY the same as a 12 hole chromatic minus the slide. The 364S was an inferior replacement to the original Marine Band Soloist model.

I am assuming that BWH used the 12 hole harp because of the big 5 hole octaves on this song. Would that be a correct assumption?

He didn't play a true octave on that harp, he just did it much like LW, opening up as if he was doing an octave on a diatonic, and so he's playing in 6ths and NOT a true octave at all.
