Tab
my friends and i were playing and he asked if i could play this intro on the harp and i tried and it came out not to bad.

play the first line fast.

-45-56-54-4
-66-54-4 

and repeat you can also add in this some where like the middle of the intro, it sounds real good

-45-56-54-4
7' -6'-54-4'

and when he said 'Layla' when sing i done

-6' then slide -6-5-4

just muck about with it i done this other solo bit i cant remember but if i come to mind i will add it on.



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