Song: |
By “chirps”, I mean staccato. Use your tongue between your teeth.
/ = bend up to the note ( /-4 for example)
/ = bend down from the note ( -2 for example)
gl = gliss ( -4 gl -2 for example)
[-4’ -4’ 5 6] = four separate notes played quickly
(quick)
Find a recording of the studio version in which the harp comes through clearly so you can hear the details of the draws & bends.
In the intro, some moanin’ & wailin’ is done on the -1. That is an overdub.
(Editing is impossible, so good luck figuring out where some stuff belongs. I give up trying to get it right. It can't be done. Most of it is how I want it.)
Intro:
First four bars:
(-2 -3) chirps & (2 3) (-2 -3) (-3 -4)’
Next three bars:
(-2 -3) chirps & -4 gl -2 -4 gl -2 -4 gl -2
Next bar:
(-2 -3) chirps & -4 gl -2 -3’ -3’ -2
