Jang Jian tabs

Hi @KeroroRinChou It was just a joke my friend. I have an east top chromatic that wows me. I only got it because I was curious about it being so cheap. My expectations were very low. I then bought a diatonic $20 aus delivered. Nowhere near the playability of the chromatic, but a very good harp for someone starting out. Best cheap harp I’ve ever come across. Actually the only good cheap harp that I’ve met. I always go for quality. Have a great day :grinning:

Hey there bro. I’ve just been listening to the piece over and over. Trying to work out key and position is very difficult. Every time I think I’ve got it l find I’m in the wrong key. You have me interested in the film though and I will watch it when I get the chance :+1:

Well done little brother. Hey man, I just finished watching a Jang Jian film and loved it though I was disappointed there was no time travel.

Thanks bro. I’m getting impatient for morning to come so that I can try your tab. Tried it on a low c, quietly trying not to wake the neighbours, it needs more emotion than I can give it that way. I enjoy messaging with you. Take care dude

Hey @Klepstoff - welcome the forum! So glad that you were inspired to pick up this amazing instrument. Unfortunately, this piece is quite advanced as it requires a lot of accurate bends. The -3" bend in particular is very challenging.

I hope it doesn’t discourage you from learning to play the harmonica! I see you go the opening tab:

Cool song! I agree with the first two lines of the tab:

2 -2 2 -3’ -3

2 -2 2 -4 -3 2 -2 -4 -3

But then third line should be

-2 2 -3" -3 -2 2

Going on from there: 2 -2 -3" -3. 2 -2 -3" -3 -4 -3
2 -2 -3" -3 5 -3" -3 -3" -2 -3" -2 -2’ 2
-3’ -3 -4 5 -4 -3 5 -4 -3" -3
-3" -2 -3’ -3 -3" -2

The recording the harmonica is a bit flat.

Also, by the way, you could play this song easily on a Lee Oskar G Melody Maker where the 3 is tuned to sound like the -3" so you don’t have to do that difficult bend.

Hope that helps!

Aloha,
Luke

So cool @stonestone63 I’ve heard about the Sheng I know it’s the first fixed reed instrument and the predecessor of the harmonica, but I never realized it has keys like that. Trippy! Thanks for sharing this vid.

Isn’t it beautiful @Luke . I glad I didn’t have one in my instrument collection that was taken by a house fire. My wife is just happy that I don’t have a set of bagpipes anymore :joy::joy::joy:

Thanks @Luke I tried to work this out yesterday, but you know what we say about tabs. Was starting to get somewhere playing with the video. Now I don’t have to. Thank you kind sir. It’s a pretty little piece :koala:
