font-family: 'Courier New'; color: black;">One Step Beyond (based on the original Madness version)
font-family: 'Courier New'; color: black;">This tab is based on my versions, available at www.youtube.com/watch?v=izWWZnNY48Y and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GyISgkexFc
font-family: 'Courier New'; color: black;">This uses a diatonic HARMONIC MINOR harmonica (C minor), but I play it solo in Bb harmonica minor
font-family: 'Courier New'; color: black;">Notation: 3=blow, -3=draw, -3’= draw single bend, -3”= draw double bend, -3”’= draw triple bend
font-family: 'Courier New'; color: black;">There is something in this tab for all abilities. The main verse can be played with no bends at all, whereas the solo is quite intricate, especially the timing. Enjoy!
