Not only is this an amazing blues song, it is featured in one of thebest anime's to have been
released in the past decade. This is thesong that inspired me to learn how to play the harmonica,
and everytime I listen to it I discover something new. It is more than worthyour money to purchase
the full Cowboy Bebop OST1 soundtrack,especially if you like jazz and blues. It has taken me a
while toperfect this song, and I still can't make my harp growl and wail likethe original artist
does, who I suspect has been playing the harpsince he/she was a child. But I'm getting close.
Don't try this song unless you have heard it, and have mastered allthe bends and have good control
of the harp.
This song was extremely hard to tab (especially the intro becausethere's no real rythm to it, so
it's hard to indicate the timing onsome of the riffs). It's also hard to include all the effects,
butI've tried to include all the important wah's, shakes and a fewvibratos; however, definitely
listen to the song in order toappreciate all the subtleties. And as always, play with your gut
and let the harp sing from your heart. See you later space cowboy...
! All bends in this song are draw bends
X ======== draw
X> ======= blow
X^ ======== bend
X^^ ======= 2nd bend
X^^^ ====== full bend on 3 hole
v ======== vibrato
w ======== wah
XH ======= hold
(X&X) ==== two notes played together
(X/X) ==== slurred notes (first note is primary)
~X ======= single note smooth bend transition
X~X^~X === smooth bend transition back and forth (more dashes means alonger transition)
X+X+X ==== one note sliding into the next
(X_X_X) == extremely fast 'run' of sliding notes
X=X ====== shake
XX ===== slide up TO note
d/ = slide up then down in draw
b/ = slide up then down in blow
. ======== silence
