Richard Hunter plays "For Once In My Life" on chromatic and diatonic harps
I play Stevie Wonder’s classic chromatic harmoncia solo from “For Once In My Life” on the C chromatic harmonica (which is what Wonder used) and a re-tuned B diatonic harmonica in 2nd position.

Great version Mr. Hunter.
Can you post the diatonic harp tab to “for once in my life”? Thanks
Not anytime soon. That’s hours of work, and I don’t have those hours for some time to come.
Big hint: the piece is played in second position on a harp with the draw 5 reed tuned up 1/2 step and the blow 10 reed tuned down 1/2 step. The solo starts on the draw 3 reed. The first 4 notes are draw 3, draw 4, blow 5, draw 3. That should orient you.
