.......I recently had the same problem bcause I wanted a harmonica solo from a song called Galway and Mayo performed by Anthony Thistlewaite (former Waterboy) and current Saw Doctor which was quite good and I couldnt get the nuances down.
I downloaded and used Transcribe to slow song down to 15% and Bendometer to track the note changes as I write them down.....Of course I have attached a PC mike to the computer and put it up to the speaker..Bendometer is good cause you dont have to guess the harp hole,,,,,,,it's visually apparent.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Bendometer indicated octaves as well and at 15% speed I was able to tab the harmonica riff,,,,,,,,,,as far as entire non- harmonica songs,I havent yet tried this set-up since I only used it one time..
I am moving more and more away from trying to play entire songs which are tabbed out and many which dont have a harp in the original version like most songs on this site.
Instead, I am concentrating on listening to,and trying to emulate actual harmonica solos from existing songs.
I am a Gemini with ADD,,,a killer combination,so next month I am sure to have a new direction
