RE: [Harp-L] Marine Band 364 (Low-C)

My advice is: skip the tabs. All you learn from tabs is how to read tabs. Listen to the recording enough times so that you can sing the harmonica parts. Then pick up the instrument and find the notes. You know what key the harp is, so it can't be that hard. Yes, you will learn to play that particular piece faster with a tab, but you will slow down your ability to assimilate material and thus slow down your ability to improvise.

Great.  I trust the people here to correct me, as I said my knowledge is not
the greatest.  I figured it was in G,  but had incorrectly thougth it was in
2nd position on a Low-C.

My reference was off of The Real Folk Blues/More Real Folk Blues album.
Thank you for correcting me.

 

Does anyone know where I cany find Tabs for "Trust My Baby"?

Does anyone know on which songs Sonny Boy (Rice Miller) used the Low-C?

And my original question still stands, which other players have used the
Low-C in recordings?

My knowledge of harmonica is not as extensive as most on this list.  I
really love Sony Boy Willamson's use of the low-c on "Bye Bye Bird".

I believe he is also using a Low-C on "Trust My Baby"  What other players
are known for playing the Low-C?
