"Sweet 16" Harp Tab

This is an execise in Javascript. This page is generated dynamically through JavaScript to show the tab for Sweet 16. I found the guitar tab version of B.B. King's version and I now have a Java program that will convert guitar tab to harp tab (although it does nothing for chords).

I haven't made up the tab graphics for overblows and the blow bends, so if you see a sweet image, you can right click on it for clue as to what it's supposed to be.

I some cases (like first position low octave) the notes go off the harp so I add or subtract an octave to keep the notes on the harp.

This is good for learning new positions and places on the harp.

By clicking on the options here you can see how the tab looks in a other positions and places on the harp.

Cross Harp

Second Position - low octave (the default)  
Second Position - Middle Range  
Second Position - High Range
Straight Harp

First Position - low octave  
First Position - Middle Range
First Position - High Range
Slant Harp

  Third Position - low octave
Third Position - Middle Range
Third Position - High Range

I am looking for other songs to run through this java script and I hope to get another few done soon. Email me with the URL if you find a good song in Guitar Tab that would convert well to Harp Tab.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
