I'm playing an A harmonica in second position.

The basic lick I'm playing is:

6+ 4 5 6+
4+ 3' 2

However, I’m most likely doing variations and adding textures and techniques not amenable to a basic tab. I have other videos on technique and obviously, I can do private lessons if you want to get into the real nitty gritty on this stuff.

I’m using an adapted version of David Barrett’s tab system, which is annoying for some people but is easy to read and very efficient once learned. I like it and I ain’t changing. You can always transcribe into your favoured system if you like.
