Hello all
I am trying to workout the G harp tabs for the flute intro on "Goin up Country" by Canned Heat. Can anyone help?

Two simple licks

The original is in Bb, which would be hard to match on a G harp.

The easiest way to play this in Bb would be on an Eb harmonica. You could use the same tab to play it in D on a G harmonica.

I'll use hole numbers and B for blow, D for draw.

The first little flurry of notes would be 6B 6D 7d 8D

Then 6D 7D 6D 4D 5B 6B.

Most of the rest of it uses those two licks. Play around with it and see what you come with.

Up Country

Nice,
I was using an initial flurry starting on the 5d then going to 678
fro the rest I used the 6 7 but never went down to the 4 and up from there. It just didn't sound well.
he good part is that I now have this and a new "recorder" to play the flute part on as well, I'm double loaded.....R
