WITHOUT LOVE DOOBIE BROTHERS
TOM JOHNSTON HARPIST

I would like to Thank Tin Man for helping me
Determine the correct key this is in, and 
allowing me to use his Legend system

YOU WILL NEED A C HARP TO PLAY THIS!!!

HSB= HALF STEP BEND
FSB= FULL STEP BEND
HV= HAND VIBRATO
WARBLE= shake your HEAD NOT!! Your hands b/w 2 notes

SB= SCOOP BEND (this means start unbent go to bent and come back again so technically its 3 notes in one
So rather than put say -4,-4b,-4 ill just put -4sb. I find it best to say “wah” on the in breath
On the second set in the warble say “Dwah” between the two notesa and the -6 to get it the sound exactly the same as Tom Does!

Be sure to check out the Youtube clip of him playing it. 
Its AWESOME and watch his unusual slide method!!
