CROSS HARP SONGBOOK: BLUESIFY YOUR MELODY
by Jon Gindick
Photo
Book/CD pack. Almost every harmonica song becomes bluesy when you play it in second position, aka Cross Harp. That's because cross harp accents the more expressive draw notes of the diatonic harmonica. These are the power notes, the notes you can bend. Jon teaches over 90 great folk songs on the CD, explaining special techniques such as multiple embouchures, bends, pull-offs, pull-ons, vibrato, hand flutters, rhythmic chugging, octaves, tongue-slaps, and more, that make these old tunes come alive with blues and jazz. Includes lyrics, chord symbols for guitar, and harp blow/draw diagrams for each song. 115 pp.
