    About this ebook

    Textbook for the "Bluesharp" - everything about the blues.
    Structure of the blues, the "shuffle" rhythm, the important harmonica topic "Crossharp" - for players with some previous knowledge of the "Bluesharp" (diat. Harmonica in the Richter tuning)!
    The interrelationships are explained in an easily understandable way and the most important playing techniques are conveyed, including blues solo examples.
    With tablature and sound as download, videos online.

     

    This book is aimed at slightly advanced harmonica players. Single tone play and channel switch should already work, "bending" is not yet necessary.
    A "detailed tablature" is used in this book - no knowledge of music notes is necessary!

     

    After a brief overview of the history of the blues and blues harp players, the structure and a special rhythm ("Shuffle") of the blues are explained in a simple and illustrated way. This is followed by the important harmonica theme "2nd position - Crossharp", focused on the core and the resulting possibilities when playing. Examples of blues solos and blues patterns and general tips complete the book.
    You will receive the eBook including all contents and tabs, online tabs and MP3 sounds as a download as well as a video "Tab + Sound + Pointer".

     

    Tablature: simple and few symbols for the rhythm of the melody, the channel numbers of the instrument indicate the tone.
    Sound: recordings of the examples and explanations. Likewise playalongs for the blues. As a download in MP3 format.
    Video: The tabulator with the sound behind it - additionally a "pointer" (highlighting the current tone). Accessible online.

     

    The web address for the download page and the videos is given in the book.
