Wondering if you have the Duke Ellington song " In a sentimental mood " tabbed in sheet music ? I can't seem to find it for diatonic. I've heard some nice versions and would like to start learning it. Beautiful song.

Difficulties with In a Sentimental Mood

To play this tune on diatonic you need some serious bending/overblowing chops. The tune starts with a simple five-note scale, but then introduces notes that require overblows in both first and second position. Then it goes to a bridge in another key that gets very chromatic.

A agree it's a beautiful tune, but it would be easier to play on chromatic.
