Re: [Harp-L] Simple songs to start off with??

["Gary Bohannon" <beauxart2@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Get a Slim Harpo "best of" CD... Slim's stuff is pretty basic and totally 
cool.  One of the easier songs to start with, of Slim's, is "Got Love if You 
Want It"... the song's in the key of "F", so you can use a "Bb" harp in the 
second (cross harp) position.   I can tab it out for you if you can't pick 
it up by ear... the guitar stuff is pretty basic too.
