"Opening harp in Blackfoot's "Train, Train""
| |
I have attempted to tab the opening harp part of Blackfoot's "Train,Train". I know there are probably alot of mistakes but like I said on my other post this will get you reasonably in the ball park(I hope)and you can play around with it or whatever. Ive heard people say that 2 harps play in this but I can only hear one, but I am new too. Anyway its in the key of "G" and I hope somebody can play with it and maybe some of you more experienced players can fix mistakes.
1. 3d-b(full step) release bend as you open up to 2d 3d 4d chord..using the word oooweee helps with the sound.
2. 3 (try saying something like hooda on the outbreath) 3-db releasing the bend and opening up to 2d 3d 4d chord(same as step 1)
3. 3, than 3d-b, 3d-b(held) 3, 2 ,2d 2d opening up to 2d 3d 4d chord
4. 1d than 2 opening up to 2,3,4,5 chord(saying something like wukita)with the (wu) focusing on the 2 sharply and the kita with the chord.
5. Slide the harp back to 2d than 1 and repeat (wukita) concentrating the (wu) on 1 sharply and the kita on 1,2,3,4 chord.
6. Repeat step 4
7. Repeat step 5
8. Repeat step 4
9. Repeat step 5
10. Repeat step 4
11. Repeat step 5 than he does something (it may be tongue slaps or something) you can shake the harp of do a warble(on the exhale) sliding it up and down whatever you have to do to imitate this sound…something like wukita,wukita,wukita anyway he’s imitating a train you will have to play with this.
12. Than he reverses it and does step 5 and than step 4
13. Repeat step 5
14. Repeat step 4 than does the wkuita,wukita,wukita thing again repeatedly
15. Repeat step 5
16. Repeat step 4
17. Repeat step 5
18. Repeat step 4 than 2d, 2, 3d-b opening into 2d 3d 4d chord while releasing bend
19. 3,3d,3,3d-b opening to 2d,3d,4d chord
20. 3d-b,3,2,2d,2d-3d chord….at this point he starts repeating steps 4 and 5 over and over and you could go longer or whatever you want its something you can play around with. He may use tongue-blocking to make some of these sounds Im not sure because Im not a t-blocker, and Im not sure that all this is right but I hope someone gets some enjoyment from it…..James
