Tab notations:
none = blow    - = draw    * = button in    hold = ___
. = on lower register; first 4 holes on a 16 hole chromatic
-5_-4 = slur; with continuous draw, move smoothly from
        draw 5 to draw 4 to make one sliding sound.
-3*-.3*-3* = triplet, play all three notes during the span
             of 1 full beat/count
-1*x-.1* = tongue blocked octave;
Note to beginners: if you’re unable play a chord
or tongue block yet, just play the higher of note.
It’ll still sound good.
