Blue Rondo a la Turk / Dave Brubeck

Tabbed for C Chromatic (Key of C) so you can ...

Play Along With The Record!


A great exercise for chromatic harmonica while fun at the same time!

Don't worry about playing the song up to speed, it sounds great
at any tempo and you can slow the speed of the video
at the Youtube 'gear icon'
