Brief Introduction

Become a harmonica solo genius with this quick and easy method today. Learn a few riffs, put them together and boom!

Description

This is a cut and paste instant blues solo hero course, quick, dirty and effective!

It's like painting by numbers. Easy.

If you can learn these simple riffs and piece them together you can play over 100 twelve bar blues solos in no time at all!

This is just one way of improvising - there are many ways, and most involve a lifetime study. Which is the right way to do it unless you are too busy, in which case this method is a different way in.

An audience will not know the difference - they will think 'there's someone who plays harmonica really well!'

So take a look and see if it will help you.

NB - please note the written riffs are cut and pasted as complete musical entities - when you stick them together they are written correctly as usually the first three notes from each riff should be written as the last three notes of the previous bar.

If you have a tune or subject that you would like me to teach please message me.

Ben Hewlett is a very experienced music teacher who is able to be very patient and methodical. Each lecture will introduce you to the next group of notes – usually just 4 new notes and that's it.

This method is very easy for you to pick up the tunes as they are repeated over and over again until you have got it. You can even re-run the video if you find it useful.

Take one course and learn your favourite tune. The try another. Remember you can always get your money back if you wish but otherwise you have lifetime access to the course.

Imagine how amazing it will feel when you whip out your harmonica and play this tune – your friends and family will carry you shoulder high in triumph. Hopefully they don't carry you out of town and dump you in the river, but hey, swimming's good as well.

The health benefits of playing the harmonica are well documented – google it. Your lungs get exercised, your lung capacity increases, aerobic movement is good for you, playing music makes you smarter they say.

You will have fun on your own and with your friends, and more oxygen to the brain will make you think you are having a good time so it's all good.
