Here's a thing I've enjoyed playing on guitar in minor keys for years and just had the idea that it might sound good on the harp.
I never use tabs, so I hope this tab is understandable.
It is meant to be played as 16th notes, so each set of four represents one beat.
Also, this is for third position harp.
6D - 9D - 8D - 8B
7B - 8D - 7D - 7B
6B - 6D - 5D - 6B
4D - 5D - 4B - 4D
As with anything, take it real slow at first. I myself don't have it quite up to speed on the harp yet.
Once you get the notes down I would recommend practicing it as quarter notes, then as 8th notes and so on.
The riff can be continued all the way down the harp, but it involves bent notes down there.
I've found that the jam track "A Minor Affair" from the Guitar Center "King of the Blues" jam tracks works real well the practice with ( A Minor,G harp, third position.)
