  • awesome, thanks! I finally got that last part :)

  • @phoboid Great!

  • Awsome ! I love this piece as well.

    Is this TAB note for note of how Butterfield plays it on East -West ??

    IIm really intrested to know

    thanks,

    Keep it up !

  • @hootchieman5 Thanks a lot! & I believe it is. I tried to make it as accurate as I could although sometimes it is difficult to tab the little subtleties of play, like when you come off a bend and release to a straight draw with a slur. But used in combination with the vid it should work ok. Often you don't need the whole as tab you can pick it up by ear having got started.

  • Nice job, thanks for this video!

  • Amazing lesson! I don't play harp myself, but after watching you play, I think I want to try it out. I have one question though; how do I transform the key of the harp to the guitar? Since I suspect that the key on the harp isn't the same on the guitar.

    Thanks.

  • I like the way you play. Will you tell how you play 3 draw bend ? It sounds amazing but i can't play like you do.

  • This is amazing!!

  • Thanks friend. Great  job!

  • Merci pour le partage !
