Hi everyone, 

I am trying to decipher Lester Butler's harmonica playing on this track and some parts might be wrong. 
I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on it! this is the intro bit. 


Riff 1: The tongue-slapping intro (the (123 -2) is a quick breath out through the harp to add some grit)
(123 -2)  -123 -2  -123 -2  -123 -2  -123 -2  -3’

(123 -2)  -123 -2  -123 -2  -123 -2  -123 -2  -3’

Riff 2: Solo entrance with the slide down
-3’  +4  -4  -4’ \ -2

Riff 3: The twirl and second slide
-4~-5  -4  -4’ \ -2

Riff 4:
2  -2  -3  -2  2  -2      -2  -2  -2

Riff 5: Repeating scoops (instantly swoop up from the bend into the note)
-2  +4  (-4’)-4  -4  (-4’)-4  -4  (-4’)-4  -2    -2

Riff 6: The quick wailing bends on hole 4
-5  -4    -4  -4’  -4  -4’  -4  -4’ \ -2    2  -2

Riff 7: Same as riff 4 but going down to -1'
2  -2  -3  -2  2  -2    -2  -2’  -1’
