Harmonica great John Sebastian teaches you to play great blues harp right from the beginning! He explains how to hold the instrument and make your first tones, then uses “cowboy music” to demonstrate “out” or “straight” harp style. Moving on to blues techniques, John shows you how to play your first blues scales using traditional “cross harp” technique. Before you know it, you’ll be playing a blues in G, complete with an intro and turnaround.

John teaches how to bend notes, improvise lead lines and play powerful Rhythm back-up patterns — even Sonny Terry’s “Fox Chase” rhythm. You’ll soon jam in major and minor keys, play in “waltz” and “straight” time, and understand the chord theory behind most blues/rock chord progressions. He includes tips on breathing, tonguing, vibrato, attack, more. You won’t find a better method for playing authentic blues harp anywhere!

On this powerful and important series of lessons made a few years before his death in 1987, one of the great blues harmonica players of all time teaches the techniques he developed during a lifetime of musical experience.

Paul Butterfield honed his harp and vocal style in the clubs and bars of his native Chicago, and was known worldwide for the purity and intensity of his tone, his sustained breath control, and his unique ability to bend notes to his will. He takes all these elements apart for the learning player, providing rare insights into his approach to his music and his instrument.

You’ll learn invaluable playing secrets: good sound production, using the tongue for “choking” and “blocking,” reed bending, trills, octaves, the tremolo and tremulant, rhythm playing, phrasing, acoustic versus electric harmonica, mic technique and much more. Paul plays some very soulful harp as he teaches classic blues, spirituals and folk songs, including “Rock Me Baby,” “My Babe,” “St. James Infirmary,” “Nobody’s Fault But Mine,” “Key to the Highway,” “Caress Me Baby” and others.
