I've recently started Chris Eldridge's lessons, and I’m having problems with tablature. I wonder if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.  I’m working on the Norman Blake version of Soldier’s Joy, and the tab is missing a lot. There are no time indications – no indications of which notes are eighth notes, which are sixteenths, etc. There are no indications of which notes are slides and which are picked straight.  There is no indication of pick direction, something I’ve seen in other flatpicking tabs, but not here. I’m using a Mac with an old operating system (10.6.8) and I’m wondering if the problem is with my computer rather than the tab.  Chris’ lessons are great.  The tabs I’m seeing aren’t.

Hi Marty --- thanks for the question.   We moved to a new sheet music / tab format a little over a year ago.  Here's an example:

We're in the process of updating and re-releasing some of Chris's older lessons (including Soldier's Joy).  Honey, You Don't Know My Mind is the one being updated at the moment.  If you have requests, let us know and we will update them.

That said --- it's best to get the music in your mind as much as possible and work off that.  Connecting your inner ear to your fingers via muscle memory is the way you want to wire your brain.  Thanks.

Hi Serei -- we don't tab the harmonica lessons by design.  The instructors want you to learn it by ear by looping and slowing down the breakdowns and practice loops in the video lessons.  This will teach you how to hear and speak blues harmonica -- which is key to playing it and eventually soloing / improvising.
