Stand by me from harptabs.com....
It was weird at first then as I get accustomed cos these delicious tabs are done by people for people like you and me.I guess they could have played by ear and painstakingly, list out the tabs one by one so that beginners like us can improve!Thanks!

Today a lil thought appeared in my mind.Just like when I wanted to play the harmonica,the mind was kinda making fun of me...hehe!The thought was what if I can never be good?What if i stop halfway due to the buziness of mundane world.What ifs...? Well, I shrug it all up and the main thing is that I have fun learning!It doesnt matter.But then,at least if I got stuck somewhere backpacking, I can at least earn my way by playing irregardless whether it is pleasing to the ears or not.They can pay me to get rid of me hehe!

Case closed. *sigh

I really wanted so much to learn "Jeritan Batinku" tabs by P.Ramlee..one day insya-Allah, I hope to move the world with his music and play as powerful as he did to me thruout my childhood years.Yeah, I grew up listening to him.When I was 5, I cried when my uncle told me that he had passed away long time before I was even born?!! I didnt know.I cannot accept it.How can I?I never knew him and suddenly i was told he was gone? How can something so special be gone just like that?And I hope to follow his footsteps but I told myself that I have no musical abilities.And so I left it as that.Now,at this age,suddenly, the hunger for musical knowledge is uproaringly huge thus I took this challenge.

As time goes, the harmonica is getting smoother and smoother, I like it.The slide, the hand movements and all that came naturally, I dunno where I get it from, I try to assimilate from the videos I watched but I cannot.Perhaps,individual has their own special way of opening up to the harmonica.And seriously, it must be open by the heart thru the heart and play from the heart.I felt it and suddenly, I felt the harmonica opens up to me.

Though the tunes I played are not as professional,there are here and there off-chords but its smooth.The transition is smooth.And sometimes, I cannot remember the numbering or sequence,the mouth and hand glides accordingly like some sort of magnet.Erm, this is not a spooky movie.

So far so good, whatever it is,insya-Allah I hope to be able to play P.Ramlee songs one day,insya-Allah.Its never too late.I can do it!!

p.s: Im gonna write every lil details in, my ups and downs ..so that you can learn from my mistakes,who knows I might be big one day and at least this is like a diary of my journey to success.And I can share every lil nitty gritty info with the world so that we can learn from one another.The skills and knowledge will be spread everywhere and anywhere.Insya-Allah amin.

I dont believe music should be expensive.It should be free and then the world will be filled with joy and lovely music of happyness.One day if I can do it, I will try to setup an organisation that goes out just to teach music to the world FREE, possible? insya-Allah.

Ok, feeling kinda tired....gonna sleep now.Perhaps I will blow a note or two before sleeping.It really takes my mind away when Im on the harmonica, like u are in ur own world.Hmm....

love....
