Mel Bay's Complete Classic Chicago Blues Harp
by David Barett
| Book with CD: 144 pages |
| Level: Intermediate to Advanced |
| Publisher: Mel Bay |
Another
gem by veteran blues author David Barett
for the
diatonic harmonica player!
If
one of your ambitions in life is to play the blues like
Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter and other masters of
the Chicago sound, this book is for you. It's the one
used by Barett himself for his own teaching and master
classes. Bending,
blues notes, hot licks, quarter-note bends, blues
scales, octave playing, control and many more essentials
are covered in this great book! It's spiral-bound, too,
so it stays open on the music stand. Most of the exercises
and examples are included on the companion CD with
split-tracked back-up music. Each song is played once
with harmonica and then without. If
you study this book in conjunction with Mel Bay's Building
Harmonica Technique, you will be
on the road to blues harp mastery. Don't rush it though
... these two books have months, if not years, of work in
them. |
