Fever (Gussow.pdf)

INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED INTERMEDIATE. A PDF tab for Peggy Lee's "Fever," an 8-bar minor blues, adapted for diatonic harmonica by Adam Gussow. The tab contains two 8-bar versions: a vamp, appropriate as an intro or for playing behind a singer; and an original solo based on the vocal melody. Technical challenges include 2, 3, and 4 draw bends and syncopated timing. Since "Fever" is in a minor key, keeping the 3 draw slightly flattened at all times is a particularly important focus of this lesson.

Note: a QuickTime video tutorial for this song is also available for $5.
