Tab for Spokey Dokey - Diatonic Harmonica in the key of D - The first1 and a half minutes.
i = inhale
b = small bend
B = full bend
Bb = full bend + 1 (for that number 3 hole)
- = quick transgression to (hell all the notes move quickly, butthese ones go that bit quicker than the rest.
Sometimes so much so you can barely spot it.)
x = multiplication (ie: hit i1 x5 means inhale hole 1 five times)
At the end and above each line of notes is a time indication of wherethat
string of notes ends according to the original 4 minutes and 5 secondslong
tune Spokey Dokey, so you understand whereabouts these notes are beingplayed.
eg: 01:01 is one minute and one second
This is a complicated tune to tab, and definitely not a tune forbeginners. I picked
up a harp because of this tune setting out to play it, and only a yearlater did I
manage to get it together. Can't say I can do it perfectly, butyou'd be hard pushed
to find many mistakes!
Can't say the tab is perfect either, but it's my interpretation ofit through ear, through
using Bendometer ( www.harpsoft.com ), and slowing down the trackusing audio editing software
to get a clearer idea of what the hell he was doing.
If you want to play this tune, you'll need good tone control, gooddraw-bend control, decent at tremolo and wah-wah, shakes, tongueblocking
and slapping, a decent harmonica and not one of those cheap $5 ones,
maybe some spare lungs, and if you're a perfectionist theres twochorded notes too.
The first 00:03-00:09 seconds still puzzles me. He has this 'effect'that I can never
perfectly emulate. For all I know I got it right, but it never soundsquite right to me.
