I found a really cool version of Angeline the baker on YouTube that I’ve been working on learning by ear the past week or so. Im using a C harp and playing in the lower register of the harp. He plays the song in two octaves but I prefer the lower version. Anyways if any of ya cool people wanna take a stab at tabbing out the lower rendition of the tune then that would be great as I can kinda see where I’m off! I can tell he’s bending three but I’m unsure if it’s a half or whole step bend at times. https://youtu.be/go83ouFLcy0?si=P1JhE5FcIYk4WfxJ If the link doesn’t work then look up harp baby Angeline the baker

@Madmartigan26 hey my friend - cool stuff!
he’s playing in 2nd position on a G harmonica here. You’re gonna wanna pick up a G harmonica to play along with this. He’s starting on the -1 2 -2 2 -12.
This style is a ton of fun, and sounds great on the G harp.
Hope that helps. Rock on!

Thanks bro! Distinguishing what’s being bent is my biggest issue when learning harp by ear. I think he’s bending hole 3 a whole step but not quite sure!
