Paste harmonica tab sheet music from websites and train visually. How to use: 1- Find any harp tab that you like from websites 2- Copy & Paste into the app 3- train visually! 4 -Supports diatonic, chromatic and tremolo Unlike other apps, here you are not limited by the selection and can use any sheet music that you can find or even make yourself! Eventually, I think it’s still better to play normally or from memory, but this allows you to build up muscle memory, which is especially good for beginners
