This is one of those techniques that can seem unfathomable and hard to explain at first, but once learnt is easy to repeat.
CHROMATIC HARMONICA HOW TO
One of the main things to learn for blues-based players is how to 'bend' notes. There are things to do with your mouth (puckering), blowing, sucking, fanning the harp with your hand, using your lips and tongue to control where the air goes and how much and so on. To get the best out of a harmonica, you need to master a few techniques. Unfortunately, it means that you'd have to have a lot of different harmonicas!
If you had a harmonica in the key of C, you could play a major scale type melody in C, but it would be in the key of G for blues playing. There are 2 main ways of playing a harmonica, straight harp (like a major scale) or cross harp (the main way that blues is played). Most advanced players that play jazz choose Chromatic harmonicas, as used by perhaps the most famous non-blues harmonica player, Larry Adler. The Chromatic harmonica has a slide button which allows you to play chromatically, and get to some of the notes that appear 'missing' in a diatonic harp. This is also known as harp, or blues harp. The most common harmonica is the 10 hole diatonic variety. The harmonica has been a popular instrument for many years now. But please do call us for the best price and availability. There are so many different kinds and different keys of harmonicas available, it is difficult to maintain a full and accurate stock list on our website. We keep a range of Hohner Harmonicas in stock.
