The coach couldn’t read this tab, so it’s shown exactly as it was submitted.
One Step Beyond (based on
the original Madness version)
This tab is based on my
versions, available at www.youtube.com/watch?v=izWWZnNY48Y and
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GyISgkexFc
This uses a diatonic
HARMONIC MINOR harmonica (C minor), but I play it solo in Bb harmonica
minor
Notation: 3=blow, -3=draw,
-3’= draw single bend, -3”= draw double bend,
-3”’= draw triple bend
There is something in this
tab for all abilities. The main verse can be played with no bends at
all, whereas the solo is quite intricate, especially the timing.
Enjoy!
