I love this song! Are there tabs? Thank you 🙏

[@GreyOwl-Harmonica]

Tis a lovely song. Here is my tab for the low and high octave parts:- Intro -3-4+5-4-3/-3''+3, -3''/-3+4-3/-3''+3+2+3..... -2-3''/-3-3-3''+3+2+3, -3-4+5+5-4-3-4, -3-4+5-4-3/-3''+3,-3''/-3+4-3/-3''+3+2+3 +3+2-1+2+3+3,-3-4+5+5-4-3-4 -3-4+5(+6+5 optional fill) -4-3/-3''+3, -3''/-3+4-3-3''+3+2+3, +3+2-1+2+3+3. +6-6-7-7-6+6+5+6, -7-8+8+8-8-7-8-7-8+8-8-7-6+6, -6-7+7-7-6+6+5+6+6+5-4+5+6+6. The higher octave part is clean and straightforward and the lower octave offers a nice contrast in tone giving a bluesier feel but presents a challenge getting the intonation on the whole step draw bends on hole 3. I haven't tabbed the part where I am doing some octave splits and the end section which you should be able to work out from tab above. Hope this helps.

What kind of harmonica do you have?

[@GreyOwl-Harmonica]

On this song I played a Seydel Session Steel diatonic harmonica in the key of G. I also like Hohner Special 20 and Suzuki Harpmaster diatonic harmonicas.

Have you tried the Horner rocket

[@GreyOwl-Harmonica]

I haven't tried the Rocket, but have heard good things about them. Here is a comprehensive review I found www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.harpsurgery.com/hohner-rocket/&ved=2ahUKEwiV0aj2rr7vAhXxURUIHb9QBRMQFjAGegQIHBAC&usg=AOvVaw1_0CJO5CIqji0I7Xep_J5X They appear to be quite a loud, bright harp which may not suit my current preference for a warm sounding harp.

@@GreyOwl-Harmonica that is a very good review. What are your favorite websites for harmonica and for buying a Harmonica? I look at harp tabs once and a while; purchase from Rockin Ron’s music. I am currently taking the lessons by I Sfair. It is good for beginners and intermediate. If you can play her music, you probably don’t need it.

@@ChrisM-mu8rc I buy from a variety of sources in Europe as I am based there and don't have a preference (just depends on price/reliability) I have heard Rockin Ron in the States is excellent. I don't do that much harmonica site browsing these days. I started learning to play harp a longgg time ago now, way before the Web, so it was quite painstaking listening to techniques on records and trying to copy them. It's fantastic for new players that there are so many folk uploading youtube harp lessons these days. I have put up only a few tutorials myself such as how to play overblows. Your teacher is a fine player and you should do well. I get a number of requests for tabs on the songs I upload and so I like to help when I can by including a tab with the video. It is better to do without tabs if you are able, as you are doing and train your ear to learn a tune as it pays off in the long run. I have always been fortunate enough to be able to play by ear, so if I hear a tune I can easily work out the notes played.
