"Billy Boy Arnold - "I Wish You Would""
 
Anyone have the tab for this old blues riff? I've tried to figure it out by ear, but can't seem to make it sound the way he does. I'm guessing some type of serious bending on the 2 or 3 draw is required?

Thanks,
Bob

Bob,

I don't have the tab, but if you find a sound file for it at Amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com, paste the link here, and I'll tell you the key of the harmonica used. Having the correct key harmonica always makes a huge difference when working out your own tabs. If the riff is on the sound file, I'll put some of it down.

Play on,
Dave Gage

   Try a C harp in 2nd position, thus key of G

The basic riff is:

2D 2D 2D 2D-bb 1D 2D 2D-bb

dut dut da ou ga dut doo

PS: I use iTunes to get a song sample, I find it faster and easier than Amazon

Alan,

That's one I hadn't thought of. I'll add iTunes to my list of places to hunt up free samples of songs. Thanks for adding the tab.
