Slow Blues Harmonica 
Level: intermediate to advanced

This book is perfect for players who want to employ a more versatile approach to slow blues playing. Four different keys and crosses, plus liberal use of all three registers of the instrument, will prove just how versatile a 10-hole C diatonic harp can be.

Each of the 16 solos, written and recorded by renowned blues-harpist Steve Cohen, is chock full of great licks and techniques for you to learn and incorporate into your playing: scale licks, octave licks, overblow licks, incremental bend licks, high-note blow bend licks, warble licks.

The variety of slow blues changes and feels include:
 •  12-bar and 8-bar progressions
 •  stop-time
 •  country blues
 •  jazzy blues
 •  minor blues
 •  major blues
 •  shuffles
 •  straight time
and more.

This book contains detailed harmonica transcriptions written in standard notation and harmonica tab; a summary list of the key, position, and song format; and a brief lesson about the chord progression and highlighted playing techniques.

Each solo has two audio tracks: a demo with Steve Cohen and a full professional band, and a play-along backing track.
