hi,
Is there an accepted notation for tabbing out songs ? The only one i've seen that looked half way easy to follow was having ten lines - one for each hole - and X's or 0's for blow or draw , /'s for bends.
some thing like this:
1 1 <-------number denotes No of 1/2 steps bent. 1--------------------------0-----0---------- 2-----------------------------0-----0--/0--- 3--X--/0----------X------------------------- 4---------X--/0----------------------------- 5------------------------------------------- 6------------------------------------------- 7------------------------------------------- 8------------------------------------------- 9------------------------------------------- 10------------------------------------------
Is there a better system that I don't know about ? I find it hard to read stuff from musical notaion when you're using different harps all night - just as you've got the hang of the location of the notes on an A harp, you switch to D and then to a Bb and so on until your head explodes in a suitable manner.
