Song Tab is below this description- I was totally blown away when I saw a video of Igor Flach (RIP) perform a harmonica improvisation of The Beatles Let it be. If you want to have a go at it, I have worked out a tab. I am playing this piece on a Suzuki ProMaster 350V Diatonic Harmonica in the key of C
Let it be- The Beatles - Harmonica arrangement by Igor Flach
Tabbed by Kieron - Greyowl Photoart
eg +3 = blow on third hole, -3 = draw on third hole, +3' = a small blow bend, -3' = a small draw bend,
(+3+4) = blow chord on 3&4 (-3-4) = draw chord on 3&4 I have used the brackets [ ] to indicate the often repeated phrase throughout the song although you will see it does vary a little.
On the first 4 notes you can play -2' -2' -2' -2" instead of +3+3+3+3- if preferred. Now for the song tab:-

Happy Harping
I've been wanting to get one of those valved Suzukis... So are the cheaper ones from Guitar Center pretty decent or what?

@57sicko Don't know about the Guitar Centre deal. I would say the harp is worth trying out, but it is different. You can play the harp normally like any other harp, but the ability to blow bend holes 1 to 6 and draw bend holes 7 to 10 is achieved by valving these holes and playing them is tough.

@DannyGrease Hi Danny. No I haven't yet. I would like to play it next time on an a regular non valved F harp (as Igor Flach used on this song). Cheers.
