Hold the instrument in your left hand with the number one, which is the lowest note, to the left. Place your right hand in the position shown below. - EEE ™— BREATH CONTROL ee When first learning to play the harmonica, or ‘harp’ as it is called by blues men, iti important for you to know how to breathe properly while playing. A lot of harmonica players use breath control to great effect as it enhances their playing. As you progress through this book you will find that your breath control ability will improve, at least for harmonica playing. It is quite simple. All you have to do is inhale through your nose on a draw note, and exhale through your nose on a blow not note. NOTES ON THE HARMONICA t Upward arrows indicate: blow into your harp (blow notes) | Downward arrows indicate: draw in your breath (draw notes) AB Tee Cah Prete nh rera 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 GB|CD|EF|GA|BC|DE|FG|AC| tehrite te tetitie tse tet PLAY A SCALE When the sign 8 appears over the Treble Clef it indicates that the music is played an octave higher than written. The first thing we will learn to play on the harmonica is the C scale. Try to play each note clearly without interference from neighbouring notes. This may be tedious at first, however with a little practice you will soon be able to play each individual note. THE ‘C’ SCALE Here are some exercises to help you become familiar with the notes on the harmonica. They will enable you to move easily from hole to hole while playing single notes and also help you with your breathing. You should have no trouble with this triplet exercise as the notes are adjacent to each other. 555565666676 TLTLTL1tTltidd +--+ > -! This time we play an ascending exercise using the C note as the "pivot note”. Ex.4 : | a = 4 45 4546 4647 4 7 TLgtt tTltr titi tt This time we use the G note on the 2nd hole as the "pivot note” in this descending exercise. Ex.5 605 55 5 A 2423 2 $TLi sets s tetsu sd STRAIGHT PLAYING This type of playing is called ‘Straight Playing’ because the tunes are played in the natural key of the harmonica. For example, with the C harmonica we will play in the key of C. Although this is a blues book which features mainly note bending, we have included four straight tunes, this is just to allow you to become familiar with the notes on the harmonica. All of the exercises and solos in this book will be played on the C harmonica.

It is played on holes 4, 5, and 6. Make sure you can play each note clearly and distinctly, so take your time with it. TAKE CARE OF YOUR HARMONICA As with most wind instruments, there can be a build up of moisture in your harmonica, so after you have finished playing it is advisable to slap it against the palm of your hand. The accepted practice is to tap the mouthpiece side since the reeds converge towards the reed plate at that end. My advice is to tap it on both sides. When you are not playing it, keep the harmonica in its case. Never carry it loose in your pocket. Dust is one of the great enemies of a ‘harp’ and yours will sound much better if you keep it clean. EEE OH SUSANNAH Ne This popular tune is played on holes 4, 5 and 6. Although it is played on only three holes you may find it slightly more difficult than the last two tunes, due to the fact that it involves constant blow and draw notes. o —= PRANKIE & JOHNNY Sec Here's a bouncy little number played on the four holes 4, 5, 6 and 7. As this completes the last of our ‘straight harp’ selection, please make sure that you can play these solos clearly and distinctly before moving on. 10 SOME METOET END SOME PEOPLE The harp was much in evidence as a part ofa musical tradition which flourished in the rural south of the USA in the 1920's and 30's - the jug band. Playing on street corners, in saloons and at country suppers, these bands usually consisted of banjo, guitar, washboard and kazoo, and sometimes fiddle, jugs and harp. Most often the harp was used for melodic-rhythmic support, with much of the playing in the upper register so the sound would carry. CROSS PLAYING ‘Cross Playing’ means playing in a key other than the natural key of the harmonica. We can, by bending notes, play in many keys, However, throughout the rest of this book we will be playing ‘crossed’ mostly in the key of G. The ‘Cross Playing’ method is widely used in Rock, Country, Folk, and especially the Blues, as it allows for more tone control and individual expression. One of the main reasons why the ‘Cross Playing’ sound is so exciting is because of the constant use of ‘note bending’, which is what this book is all about. CROSS HARP POSITIONS Although it is possible to play in many keys on the harmonica as shown on this chart, you will find that the second position is the one most often used. We have used the 'C' harmonica for this book.

You may find this technique slightly difficult at first. However with a little practice it will get easier. ‘Note bending' may require the use of the tongue in much the same way as whistling. While drawing in your breath, try whistling a scale from the top note down to the bottom note. You will notice your tongue moving backwards as you descend the scale. Try whistling the scale a few times and you will see what I mean. Fn eeeeeeeeeerereclcrLLLLSC‘NN ATO A> BEND Ne For this exercise we are going to perform the half tone bend ‘A to Ab’. Drawing in your breath on the sixth hole of the harmonica play the note of A. Now using the "note bending” technique try bending it down a halftone to Ab. It is important that you master this bend and that you can play it with ease before moving on to the solo. Try the following exercise. The encircled numbers © indicate the bend notes.

Practise this solo until you can play it at an even tempo from start to finish without hesitating at any of the ‘bend notes’.

The tempo for this solo is a litle faster than the last one, and is slightly more difficult to play but don't be discouraged.

Born Saunders Teddell, on October 24th 1911, near Durham, North Carolina, he was nearly blind from childhood and began playing music on street corners and later in recording studios with guitarist Blind Boy Fuller. Around the time of Fuller's death in 1940 Sonny met his partner- to-be, Brownie McGhee. Together and separately, they became the folk-blues musicians - recording and gigging with people like Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie and Rev. Gary Davis. Sonny died in 1986. 90 TONE CONTROL St Tone control is one of the methods of playing which personalises the sound of the harmonica. Most harp players play with different depths of tone. Some people develop their tone almost immediately, others take years in developing a tone which they are satisfied with. Technically tone control is achieved by applying pressure on the suction of air | through the hole or note, thereby causing a variation on the sound produced from the reed. It is this difference on the pressure of air which varies the tone from person to person. : From now on the solos on the recording will be played using tone control. Don't worry if your playing does not sound the same, as it can take some time to develop your technique. Bommy Terry.

His style was more in the vein of the city blues, and when he moved to Chicago in the 1930's he worked as a sideman with many different bluesmen. In the late 30's he began to record as a featured artist. These recordings laid the groundwork for the Chicago style of rhythm and blues that was to dominate the scene in the 40's and 50's. His style of ‘chocked’ harp that broke into a half- moan, half-scream was tremendously popular and influential. He was murdered in 1948. oo EET —*D IT DON’T COME EASY This slow blues solo features the two half tone bends F to E and A to Ab. Up to now the solos have featured only one bend, and if you can play them accurately you should be ready for this one. Most people find that playing more than one bend in the same solo is slightly difficult at first, so don't worry if you make a few mistakes initially.

Ex.66 Music by Don Baker 43 TT —™Fe RIFFS USING TONE CONTROL As you probably know by now you can make your harp weep, wail, sound sad or angry b using tone control. One way you can do this is by putting a very slight bend on the reed causing the note to waver. Another way is to say the word eh eh eh repeatedly on an inward breath feeling the sound at the back of your throat, this would have a more aggressive feel. As with speech, each individual has a unique sound and it is important to develop your ow: tone control on the harmonica. This riff has a very sad and tense feel to it.

As the name suggests, triplet tonguing simply means playing a note three times in quick succession. The effect is achieved by breaking a single note into three short notes, while drawing in your breath. This is done by using your tongue at the back of your teeth to cut off the intake of air.
