That was cool, I wish I could speak something useful. Your English is very good Angus. Keep it up! I would have never known that English wasn't your native language if you had not said anything. And Orion, that was cool too!

I love that movie, and i also love another song from its soundtrack called "la dispute". It's one of the saddest piece i have ever heard. I'm working on the tabs presently, but you really need to hear the song to get the slow tempo right.

If the harmonica that your are using is in the key of C, then you will have to bend the 3 hole draw one full step. On the C harp the 3 draw is a "B" note if you bend it slightly, it will go down a half step "B flat, if you bend it further it will be the "A" note.
In the 3rd hole draw, on a C harp you can get B- B flat-A and A flat.
This takes a lot of practice, to get the middle tone and make it stay there.
I hear many of the great player say that they always practice their 3 how bends. Hope this helps DR
