So I want to play some contemporary worship music but I can’t find any harp tabs and aren’t good enough yet to hear and pick out the tabs. What can I do?

Hi @hill.shayne91. I play some worship songs on guitar, harmonica and piano. That said, I, like you, have a hard time finding reliable tabs. There a few on Harptabs.com but sifting through and finding good ones has been hard.
For guitar I use “Ultimate guitar” app and I only select “Official tabs” songs.
The nice thing about ultimate guitar is they take every instrument in the song including voice/melody and give you the tabs as they relate to guitar. So what I’ve gotten proficient at is translating the guitar tabs for which ever parts I want into harmonica tabs. This process and engagement has improved not only my playing but my memorizing of keys, scales, chords as well as the instruments themselves.
The process is slow in the beginning but you get faster and faster as you start remember the details.
All that said - learning by ear is something I’m getting a little better at too. Ear to me is how really engage with the music… it opens up your creativity to cover songs “your way” not necessarily a copy of the or original…
Anyhow long answer - hope it helps

@hill.shayne91 sorry for the delay here my friend. Thanks for joining the forum! Yes, always check harptabs. If they don’t have, let me know the song and artist, include a YT or Spotify link. I’m happy to help.
