Mini Tutorial for beginner : Get the bluesy sound
My tip:
buy a ‘good harp’ for bending (hohner ms blues harp)
download a Metronom, and Tuner to your phone
practice one:
-2 hole: yeeeeee (not bending), yoooooooo ( full bending), yeeeeee – hear the blues
First play few sounds, bend them, play vibrato
practice 2:
play this bluesy riff:
-2 , -2” (full bending), -1, -2
Test your bending with Tuner
or -2 , -3′ (half bending), -2 | -2, -3′, +4, -3′, -2
When I was young I played this on the Chinese harmonica I only played few sounds but I t was bluesy My fellow played on the guitar.
Listen big harmonica player: Little Walter, Sonny Terry, Sonny Boy, …
Collect your harmonica jobs, riffs, record your playing. Practice every day
