@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.
