Re: [Harp-L] Who in the world is DaveTherault ? ! ?

Thanks Ben !

The video link you supplied has the tabs & a backing track... great to get started with. Hope I stick with it till I get it :-)

As a point of interest I think the original in 5th position on an Ab sounds a little better to my ears... maybe the pitch is a little lower giving it a richer tone... but 3rd position on the Bb really sounds good and I'll start there. I may attempt to transpose it to 5th position on Ab at some point. If I do I'll post the tab... unless someone else has already done it.

Thanks again for the help !

Yes, I agree. This was done as if the player was playing a horn. The choice of notes was close to 'bone'. It wasn't as far 'reachey into orbit' like (for example) a Toots version might be. All in all it was pleasant to listen to and I can see where it would go over very well in Europe. Where the listeners seem to appreciate jazz without Chernobyl melt downs. 


He didn't use overblows in this song , playing in 5th position on a Ab harp.
