O Susanna – Cross Harp

Need a tutorial on how to read harmonica tab?

When you’re finished here, go browse my other free harmonica tabs.

Here’s an opportunity to try using your bending skills to add a little more blues / country flavor to a familiar tune.

To play this version of O Susanna, you’ll need to be able to bend on the 3 draw, preferably a whole step. Not only that, but you’ve got to land DIRECTLY on that bent note. Good luck and enjoy!
