BOOK UPDATE - Larger Harmonica Tabs -New Audio Linksthe book's first and closing pages include a link to download more than 100 audio examples. All you have to do is click on it or type it straight into your desktop computer's web browser. This book's goal is to provide harmonica novices and experts alike with an extensive collection of licks that they may pick up and apply when improvising on their own or in a band. The greatest harmonica players frequently combined well-known licks with impromptu unique ideas to create brand-new solos. Licks and riffs are frequently "borrowed," modified, and created entirely new songs. It is uncommon for someone to develop an entirely original strategy without depending on the canon, which includes blues riffs, scales, and phrases. The musical improvisations of blues greats including Junior Wells, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Little Walter, Big Walter Horton, James Cotton, Howlin' Wolf, and Jean-Jacques Milteau served as the inspiration for the following licks. Any 10 hole diatonic harmonica in the key of C will work with 100 Easy Blues Harmonica Licks. Read more
