How to Play the Standard Recognizable Blues Riff on the Harmonica

We've all heard it. "I've got the blues, WHHAAAA WHEEEEE WHAAAA WHAAAA"

That's the melody I'm talking about. It's simple and you should be able to do it on your harp in no time.

Number = Blow (ex: 1)
Negative Number = Draw (ex: -1)

BLUES TAB

3 4 -3 3
3 3 3
3 -4 4 -3
-3 -3 -3

To make it sound a little fuuuunky, you can kind of draw the 4 hole as you're transitioning back to the 3.

Have fun with it and try to sing some dumb songs.

You just wasted 50 seconds of my time- plus the time it took me to type this. People, if you're going to make a freekin video, get your freakin act together - we don't want to watch you stare into the camera waiting for your brain cells to kick in...
