Well Folks if you liked or loved the song and my tab �Look What You�ve Done, or your one of the 6 (Aussie you BASTEEERRRDD flea bitten Varmint!!! included)that requested that I do this tab. Well then here it is & your gonna go NUTS for this one. To introduce it The Harpist is John Sebastian (leader singer and harpist of the 60�s Rock Group THE LOVIN SPOONFUL. This was a b side Vinyl instrumental to one of their big hits, "What A Day For A Daydream". If you are unfamiliar with it then I implore you to go to YOUTUBE and type in Lovin spoonful NIGHT OWL BLUES and be blown away people!!! You can also find "Look What you�ve done" by the rolling stones there or download them also from something like Limewire. If you�re a Lovin Fan then there are two others; Jug Band Intro and of course �lonely� Amy�s Theme from the movie. If you want the tab to that one look up Aussie�s Tabs as he has already done �Lonely� (thanks Aussie it was wonderful) OKAY LETS GET TO IT This is a Cross Harp song the band is in the key of A so you are gonna need a D HARP TO PLAY THIS!!!! this track is just 1:45 of NON STOP HARMONICA which posed several challenges in tabulating. Basically folks what I�ve done is try to break the riffs down in segments and each line of my tab is a Riff!! If you all bare with me, I�m gonna make audio for you folks, where I�ll break down the riffs for you and how to play it. Think of it as an instructional to help you through this one. but i wont do the whole song just key and difficult bits. ive posted two already to deal with the opening riff. Ill post more as i get time! Ohh and one last thing, as I stated in the forum post I�VE DONE THIS BY EAR SO GIMME A BREAK !!!!! o= overblow fsb= FULL STEP BEND hsb= HALF STEP BEND dwah= to dwah means to put a tiny bend on it, start clean go slightly bent and come back! i find it's best achieved by saying DWAH on the inbreath some people call it scooping warble= shake your head NOT your hands between two notes! HERE IT IS !!!! -2,-3,4,-3-3,3,-2,-4b,3 -3&-4b (hold bend),-4o (so go from the bend to the overblow) -4,-4,-4,-4-,-3,-4,-3b -4,-4,-4,-3,-4 hold & shake (hand vibrato) -4,-3,-4,-3,-3hsb(Dwah or scoop it),-2 -2,-2,3,-4,-3,-4,-3, Warble -3 & -4, 4, Warble -4 & -5 -5,-4,-3,3,-3fsb (Dwah or scoop it to get same sound) 2 -4b (scoop or dwah)-3 -2,-2,-3,-4,-5,-4,-3-4,-3,-2 -4,-4,-4,-4,-3,-4 -4,-5, draw slide to -2, -2b (Dwah or scoop bend)2 3,4, -2b (Dwah or scoop bend)2 -2, -2, -3, -3fsb,-3fsb,-3fsb,-3fsb,-3fsb,-3fsb,-3fsb (hold and shake or hand vibrato -6 (hold and say wee times 5 on in breath)-5, -4, -3b -3,-3,-3,-3,-2fsb (dwah or scoop it)2 -4,-4,-4,-3,-4 to -4b Warble -3 & -4 times 4 Warble -3 & -4 times 4 Warble -3 & -4 once then -4 hold and hand vibrato or shake then -6,6,-5, -4, -3b dwah, (dwah or scoop bend)-2 -3b,-3b,-3b hold & Now warble between -3b & -4b times 3 -2,2, -3b hold it (& shake or hand vibrato) -4,-4,-4,-3,-2,-2fsb,-2fsb, ,-2fsb,-2fsb,2fsb, -1b,-1b,-1b,-1 hold Warble -2 & -3 times 3 Warble -2 & -3 times 3 then -4,-5,5 hold Now do a slow DWAH on the inbreath on -4 and then -5 to end ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!
