Vol.18 Sonny Terry Blues Riffs demo

Our much requested book on Sonny Terry Blues Riffs. Here Ben demonstrates a few of the riffs that you'll find in this new playalong package from the Ben Hewlett Harmonica Course. The riffs are performed at three different speeds for ease of learning. Each riff is written out in conventional notation and in harmonica tablature. Also the words used to get certain sounds are indicated. A great resource for all developing harmonica players.

whats the name of the starting song In this Video?

[PaulLennonUK]

It doesn't really have a name yet. I put it together as the music for the opening sequence and made sure it featured some Sonny Terry-style playing from Ben. Thank you for your interest.

All the best

Thank you for your comment. A DVD is definitely something we'd like do in the near future. Your comment is appreciated.

@LuzoHarpStudent Hi Luzo, glad you are enjoying the harp so much, and our books. The second Sonny Terry book is almost ready for launch in September. Then there will be a third before Xmas and I'm sketching out a Sonnyboy Williamson book - or two - at the moment. Keep on blowing! Ben

Hi Ben, Here in Brazil it is hard to find harmonica book!! I have downloded the book and it is really fantastic. It has been a great material on my harmonica learning challenge!! Thank you for such a great material!! I hope I'll upload a few videos when I get better on the riffs!!

My best regrads,

Luzo

awesome. i try to learn harp on my own, so this is a great help.

there`s not so much information around about Sonny`s style, so i was glad to have the riffs/inspirations from the new downloads. great stuff and sure worth the money.

you write that you are working on a second Sonny Terry riff Book?.

DON`T STOP

Hello Ben, I just downloaded this and it is great - a must for those who want to learn Sonny Terry style. I just spent a week with Tom Ball in Klingenthal, Germany and the workshop was fantastic. Your guide is an excellent addition to Toms source book. Don't pass this up folks it is worth every cent.

Pretty good! Would be great if it was also available on dvd.

Any chance of that happening?
