Cowboy Bebop - Blue (acoustic cover)

I really love this song, and I wondering if I could do an arrangement of it for busking style. My diaphragm's a little messed up at the mo as I've had a cough, but I think this recording's OK despite the occasional mishap. Cowboy Bebop is actually what inspired me to play harmonica. This recording is live so as you can guess I'm playing harmonica on a brace. This account's actually meant to be for any videos I do related to my comic, so if you want to check it out here's the website: http://www.tallismanrogue.com .

Enjoy and tell me what you think...

What key is your harmonica in?

[TallismanRogue]

@TheUrquijo I've got mine in A, because in standard tuning the guitar is really suited. The record is in Ab I think but it depends where you're comfortable singing. I chose A because my chest to head voice transition is around a (tenor) top G so I figured I'd falsetto the higher parts rather than have a transition during the melody. I actually do a piano version also in A.

Wow, really well done! However, I think it would sound much better if you'd keep your lower voice. Sounds much more natural. I really loved the first half. Awesome harmonica playing by the way!

Would you mind publishing the guitar tab?

[TallismanRogue]

@XCrusherX1 Cool, thanks. I'm not sure what to publish as a tab, I just make it up most of the time. I can give you the chords if you like? It's mainly just A, D and F#m7 with a couple E7s and some inbetweeners before the chorus. If you've got powertab I could do a few of the bits, but it might be asier for me to do a quick video on the matter. Tell me what would be best for you.
