Tab
This is a really nice very slow blues riff i play a bit. Really emphisise the draw bends to make it sound great.

SB Scoopbend, start unbend and bend down and then relise back up. sounds like wee-oo-wee.

-4SB -3' 
-4SB -3'3-3'
-3'4-4'4-3'2-2(wah o wah)~~ linger 
As an intro slow and easy then:

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

Repeat this 4 or 5 times and build pace as you go, and try to aviod gaps in plaing, then finish with:
-3'-3sb~~3 slide 2 1 -1 -2 2 1 -1

It sounds great when time well but that you have to figure out yourself!

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
