That's more like a whole song, lol.

Buy this book used:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Masters-Blues-Harp-Note-Note/dp/0793572711/ref=sr_1_2/279-9934935-2550146?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228145014&sr=8-2

It's got the whole tab of Bye Bye Bird. ; )

Hey Jeff,

I've seen that book before somewhere--is the tab good and readable? I only ask because I have some books that I have to go through and translate into something like Gussow tab before I can learn the song. . .

Oldwailer, unlike ungodly written online tabs, Glenn's are presented in actual pitch with the harmonica tablature over standard music notation. So it's very logical, illustrates the timing and pretty easy to follow. He even has an in-depth key with numerous symbols for tongue-slaps, pulls, trills, etc.
