Eminem-Purple Pills , At the end of the song 4;07 there's a nifty harmonica solo and i can find the tabs NoWhere..i'm pretty disapointed , so i want to know if you could give it a look or anybody who wants to do it , i think its a challenge regardless nobody have done it since then.

Purple Pills - harp solo

Hi Francis, the song is in Ab - the harp solo at the end is played on a Db harp in second position.

You're unlikely to find tab for the solo. It sounds like a short improvised end piece to the song.

Davids lessons on equipment detail how to use the Amazing Slow Downer (ASD) - if you can grab the Youtube, put it into the ASD software you can start a loop at the 4.07 point and save that loop to your PC/Mac for practice. You can also slow down the loop using ASD and then listen, find each note on the harp (NB there's a few bent notes) stop the tape, write each note down, and repeat until you have the full solo. 

This way of discovery is more fun and a more effective learning tool than having someone deliver the tab for you.

Best of luck, Phil
