Kip,

I don't have the tab, but if you find a sound file for it at iTunes or Amazon.com, paste the link here, 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.

Another way to get tabs for some melodies and parts of songs is to get a software program that takes a standard MIDI file and converts the data into harmonica tab. There is a shareware program called "Melody Assistant" that does just that (available for Mac and Windows). Here's the link for it-

To find the MIDI file, you can do a search at google.com for "Your song title" MIDI file. You can also try some of the websites that store MIDI files from the bottom of our LINKS page-

Play on,
Dave Gage

   I gave a quick listen on iTunes, I think it's a D harp.

   Hi Dave,
Thank you for the links I think I will see if Dave Mckelvy knows
the tabs on All These Blues. The guy in a genius, if not I'll try
to figure it out.
Thanks
Kip Carson

   Kip,

Here's the tab to All These Blues by Paul Butterfield
Key of Song A, D Harp second position

Opening:
4' 4 5sus 3"3'3" 1 2 2" 1
2 2" 2" 2 2" 2+ 1 2 2" 2"

Solo:
2 3' 4+ 3' 4' 4
2 3' 4+ 2" 2
5sus 5+4+ 3' 2
2 3' 4+ 4' 4 5 4' 4+ 3' 4+ 3' 2 2" 1 1+ 1 2

3' 2 2"2' 1

2" 2 3' 2 2" 2 2" 1
2 3' 4+ 4' 4 5 4' 3' 2 2 2 2 2" 2" 1' 1+
4' 4 4' 4

All notes are draw unless there is a + after the number
'=half step bend "=full step bend
You'll have to figure out the timing on your own, I've attempted to put the tab in somewhat of a verse form. There are some grace notes that I may or may not have notated, so don't get too hung up on playing it exactly as tabed. Ears are best.

Good Luck

Alan
