Each riff will be played for you at a fast speed, then a slower speed and then in most cases, at an intermediate speed. Each track contains five riffs in the style of some of my favourite players, starting with simpler riffs to get you started and gradually getting harder. Whilst studying with Joe Filisko I've learnt that most of the earlier players tongue- blocked most of the time. However, to make it easier, I've decided to ignore this generally, but you should try the tongue-block style as well. Use your tongue to cover a couple of holes to the left of the notes I've given you and it should work out! The players on which we have based these riffs are chosen haphazardly from my personal music collection so should not be taken as exclusively the best players - although they are all exceptional in my opinion. We also ran out of space on the CD so couldn't use riffs in the style of Paul Lamb, Kim Wilson, Sugar Blue, John Popper, Paul Jones, Lee Sankey, Johnny Mars, Steve Baker and a bunch of other inspirational players. Maybe on the next riffs album! My playing - (although brilliant!) - is no match for the source players whose styles I've attempted, so my best advice is to encourage you, after enjoying this CD, to go back to the original players and to study them directly. It is much harder of course - what we have we have tried to do here is to present the same information for you in a half digested form - almost regurgitated, and fed from beak to open screeching beak. Imagine us like a Mummy or Daddy bird feeding you, our fat and starving little chicks! 6 101 Blues riffs vol 6 download 10/9/09 09:32 Page 7 INTRODUCTION Most riffs here are in second position or 'crossharp'. For those who don't know, this refers to the 'flavour' or mood given to your music through your deliberate choice of notes. Second position gives a great bluesy feel and is based around the low draw chord i.e.- a G chord when you are using a C harp. That’s holes 1 - 4 draw. When you include hole 5 it becomes a G7 chord which is PERFECT for blues. Chords like G7 - or any other '7th' chord - will instantly give you a bluesy flavour on any instrument. You will also need to bend lots of notes to get the blues notes (blues scales) which add to the characteristic sound. In 3rd, 5th or 6th positions by contrast, most of the blues notes you need are available unbent and the chords are unavailable. Bent notes have a different sound texture, so choosing different positions alters the flavour, and the technical approach. If you're not clear on bending notes we may be able to help you out - check out the chromatic tablature page. Note bending will be dealt with in future editions. We've mostly stuck to 2nd position also because it is considered 'normal' or familiar, and most recorded blues that you hear will be in 2nd especially between 1930 and 1990. For the exact same reason I like to escape from 2nd and experiment with some of the other 11 positions available - I think it's our duty to explore the harmonica! So plug in the CD and let's get to work! Try to train your ears (those are the big flappy things attached to the side of your head) by at first NOT looking at this book. Just listen, stop the CD, and copy. You need to work at the ears - music belongs to the EARS. Written music is a handy code, has great historical significance, and is a great aide-memoir, but it's just paper - music is generally an audible experience rather that a visual one. 7 101 Blues riffs vol 6 download 10/9/09 09:32 Page 8 SIMPLE CHUGGING RIFFS RIFFS 1 - 5 I THOUGHT WE JUST AGREED YOU WERE NOT GOING TO READ THIS YET !? TRAIN YOUR EARS!! Chugging is a system I use for beginners and intermediates alike. It is ‘rhythm’ harmonica, and uses the two basic chords in various rhythmic patterns. Chugging gets you to whisper crazy words into the harmonica to create amazing sound textures. It leads you to encounter breathing problems and helps you to overcome them. Rhythm is the bottom line in music, as breathing is in harmonica playing. So chugging is the foundation in my view. As with all the chugging chords in Get Chugging, Mastermix, and Nasty Chugs, this technique only works effectively if you whisper these words loudly into the harmonica.

  • The Jones Tones Are a Veteran Band of Four Musicians, All with a Distinctive Style and Personality That Blends Into a Powerful Whole
    Davey J and the Jones Tones are a veteran band of four musicians, all with a distinctive style and personality that blends into a powerful whole. As bandleader, Davey J's approach to the blues is all about Furry Lewis (by Reverend Keith A. Gordon, About.com Guide) the shuffle, a style and tempo pioneered in acoustic Delta blues and electric Chicago blues. When the four- Bridging the gap between the early acoustic blues of the Mississippi Delta of the 1920s and the rediscovery piece band gets its groove on, you can hear the foot-tapping acoustic-electric sounds from the era of of so-called "folk" or country blues by white audiences in the '60s, Furry Lewis was both a unique stylist and a rockabilly, Nashville country and western, early rock and roll, and of course, classic Chicago blues. And in throwback to the sound of an earlier era. Equally capable of playing guitar with an original fingerpicked style the midst of the traditional shuffle tempos and rich vocals, Davey J also uses processing tools of the 21st as well as delivering a mean slide-guitar sound, Lewis was a charismatic storyteller and a flamboyant century to add an edge to his acoustic guitar sound. So, as the Jones Tones perform songs that range from showman that performed naturally with skill and humor. the 1930s Delta blues to the blues styles of our time, the band pays tribute to blues traditions as well as Born Walter Lewis in Greenwood, Mississippi in the Delta, the exact year of his birth remains in question, and creating an original new sound.

  • Big Walter Horton, Blues Harmonica Giant, Classic Sides 1951-1956 (3 CD) Di Bear Family, Uscito Nel 2010, Dopo La Stesura Di Questo Documento
    WALTER HORTON, AN EASY MAN Discografia completa commentata di Sugarbluz Walter Horton nasce il 6 aprile 1918 in una fattoria vicino a Horn Lake, Mississippi, Contea DeSoto, ma nel suo primo anno d’età la famiglia, che include un fratello, Albert, e tre sorelle, Katy, Maggie e Bernice, si trasferisce nella vicina Memphis, Tennessee. Dapprima si dedica al pianoforte, ma poi il suo passatempo preferito diventa accompagnare, con l’armonica che un bel giorno suo padre porta a casa, i 78 giri di blues che girano sul grammofono di famiglia. Dopo due anni di pratica e scomparso da poco il padre Walter decide di contribuire al sostentamento familiare, così comincia a suonare per le strade di Memphis arrivando a guadagnare anche otto dollari al giorno, e in poco tempo tra i musicisti locali si comincia a parlare del piccolo Walter, ed è così che conosce Floyd Jones, Johnny Shines, Jimmy DeBerry. Ad appena nove anni registra con la nota Memphis Jug Band dell’armonicista e chitarrista Will Shade (detto Son Brimmer, probabilmente il suo primo maestro di tecnica insieme a Hammie Nixon, fedele partner di 'Sleepy' John Estes); il dato non è genericamente accettato vista la giovane età, ma l’autore Samuel Charters ritiene che sia vero. Il disco esce per Victor, una delle poche etichette discografiche che riesce a far fronte alla Grande Depressione. La compagnia di Chicago, specializzata nella produzione di grammofoni, diventa proprio in quegli anni una divisione della potente RCA (Radio Corporation of America). Durante la crisi economica abbassa drasticamente i costi di produzione e il prezzo di vendita del disco singolo da 75 a 35 centesimi, spostando nei primi anni 1930 il settore race records su una sussidiaria, Bluebird.

  • Robert Johnson from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Robert Johnson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name Robert Leroy Johnson Born May 8, 1911 Hazlehurst, Mississippi Died August 16, 1938 (aged 27) Greenwood, Mississippi Genres Delta blues Occupation(s) Musician, songwriter Instruments Guitar, vocals, harmonica Years active 1929 – 1938 Notable instruments Gibson L-1 Robert Leroy Johnson (May 8, 1911 – August 16, 1938) was an American singer-songwriter and musician. His landmark recordings in 1936 and 1937, display a combination of singing, guitar skills, and songwriting talent that has influenced later generations of musicians. Johnson's shadowy, poorly documented life and death at age 27 have given rise to much legend, including the Faustian myth that he sold his soul at a crossroads to achieve success. As an itinerant performer who played mostly on street corners, in juke joints, and at Saturday night dances, Johnson had little commercial success or public recognition in his lifetime. It was only after the reissue of his recordings in 1961, on the LP King of the Delta Blues Singers that his work reached a wider audience. Johnson is now recognized as a master of the blues, particularly of the Mississippi Delta blues style. He is credited by many rock musicians as an important influence; Eric Clapton has called Johnson "the most important blues singer that ever lived." Johnson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an early Influence in their first induction ceremony in 1986. In 2010, David Fricke ranked Johnson fifth in Rolling Stone′s list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. Life and career Early life Robert Johnson was born in Hazlehurst, Mississippi possibly on May 8, 1911, to Julia Major Dodds (born October 1874) and Noah Johnson (born December 1884).

  • “Covering” the Bluesman from a Distance
    Introduction In many ways, my journey towards this thesis topic began with my brother’s music collection. Throughout my teens he would introduce me to a wide range of local and international acts, many of which were influenced by African-American blues artists. This influence is evident in both their construction of sound and the old songs that they rerecorded. From there I began tracing musical influences from song credits and interview excerpts—a path often travelled by musicians and fans alike—that would eventually lead me to an appreciation of blues music. The penultimate step towards this topic came in the form of my honours thesis—a creative project that involved rerecording several tracks from the catalogue of an early Australian country music artist, one of which was titled “Blue Mountain Blues”.1 From there I turned to blues music in Australia. Initially conceived as a history of “Australian blues”, it became apparent that this proposed sub-genre struggled to unify and explain the disparate musical styles contained therein. Although each artist was clearly addressing the musical characteristics and influences I had come to recognise as “blues music”, it all sounded different. In the meantime, I developed a keen interest in a fellow colleague’s thesis topic that addressed the role of “covers” within the Australian music industry (Giuffre, 2005). My epiphany—and catalyst for the current thesis topic—eventually presented itself while viewing a live performance from Peter Green Splinter Group. The concert was split into two courses: an acoustic entrée featuring several Robert Johnson “covers”; and, an electric main with side dishes of early Fleetwood Mac material—the band Green had help found many years ago.

    ‘LITTLE BOY BLUE’ WALTER HORTON A career that mixed triumphant music making with some missed opportunities still left a legacy of some of the greatest blues harp recordings of all. Mississippi Fred McDowell, J.B. Lenoir and Walter Horton, Manchester Free Trade Hall, AFBF Tour 1964. Photo: Brian Smith. et’s start by conjuring an image to warm the heart and stir Reasonable doubters will argue that it’s unlikely that a band as well- the soul – the ten-year-old child prodigy, nervously following connected as Shade & Co. would have needed to take such a young and his older friends, the members of the Memphis Jug Band, inexperienced harp player all the way from Memphis to Chicago (Horton Linto the recording studio on 9th June 1927, his little fingers was born on 6th April 1917) for a session, and that the playing style is very protectively clasping his precious Marine Band harmonica.

  • Jug Band Music
    Jug Band Music by Michael “Hawkeye” Herman The good timey sounds of jug band music – infectious and influential – have enjoyed popularity since its beginnings in the “spasm” and “novelty” bands that developed in New Orleans in the late 19th and early 20th Century. The spasm bands not only featured improvisation on a wide variety of standard musical instruments, but the instruments themselves were often homemade and improvised – like the jug in place of a tuba or upright bass. Hence the name, “Jug Band.” Homemade instruments like the jug, washboard, spoons, and one-string ‘bucket’ bass have a long tradition in both early African American and white American cultures. These early New Orleans jug bands expanded to other regions like Memphis and Louisville by the turn of the 20th Century, playing jazz and blues long before the music was recognized and labeled as such. Jug bands played on the Ohio and Mississippi riverboat paddle wheelers and in many southern night clubs. They were in vaudeville, on the streets, and in traveling medicine shows. These bands created a colorful and exciting aspect to country blues, classic jazz, country & western, and hillbilly musics. In the 1920s, some of the first jug bands to record were: Clifford Hayes (Louisville Jug Band, Old Southern Jug Band, and Dixieland Jug Blowers); Earl McDonald (The Ballard Chefs, the Original Louisville Jug Band); Buford Threlkeld (Whistler’s Jug Band); and the Birmingham Jug Band of Ben Curry (aka Ben Covington) and Jaybird Coleman. Many of these bands played popular dance band jazz, using the jug as a novelty element.
