Roadhouse Blues (harp part)

By “chirps”, I mean staccato.  Use your tongue between your teeth.
/ = bend up to the note ( /-4 for example)
/ = bend down from the note ( -2 for example)
gl = gliss ( -4 gl -2 for example)
[-4’ -4’ 5 6] = four separate notes played quickly
  (quick)
 
Find a recording of the studio version in which the harp comes through clearly so you can hear the details of the draws & bends.

In the intro, some moanin’ & wailin’ is done on the -1.  That is an overdub.

(Editing is impossible, so good luck figuring out where some stuff belongs.  I give up trying to get it right.  It can't be done.  Most of it is how I want it.)
