Hello all,

with a new Hohner i received a Test-Code for a  one month free membership to Bluesharmonica.com Seems to be a nice place for studying some Blues Stuff. But I’m afraid that the LOA Lessons are not the right path for Chromatics.

Is tere a special chromatic route to follow? Or any suggestions where to start with a chromatic?

Thomas

Some materials for chromatic

Hi, Thomas.

If you check out the Lesson by Level on this site:

https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons_by_level

you'll find five studies for chromatic harmonica  just search on the word "chromatic" to find them

For a broader view, you could check out the series of articles I wrote for chromatic for the HarmonicaSessions webzine (which was edited by David Barrett, who later started this site). You can access the entire series via my website at

http://winslowyerxa.com/harmonica-sessions

IF you're interested specifically in blues chromatic the way its usually played, check out the articles on playing in D.

Hello Winslow, thank you for

Hello Winslow,

thank you for your advice. I know your very good articles in the webzine. The article about Slapp and Hammer made me a TongueBlocker.Maybe I also take my old Bluesharps to hand and study the LOA from the beginning ...

best Regards Thomas
