This course will enable you to develop your Sonny Terry style of playing. And it's really FUN!
Studying Sonny is a big challenge and this will be a great start if you want to learn more about his style, or will further increase your skills if you have tried this before.
Sonny was the master of rhythmic chugging and since these are two mainstays of the harmonica you will definitely benefit from this course and this type of study.
To create these riffs I studied the following original Sonny Terry recordings - Fox Chase, Airplane Blues, Raincrow Bill, Crow Jane, and Mean Old Frisco. So if you listen to those tracks you will hear many of the ideas in this course.
What I have done for you is taken Sonny's original recordings and modified them to make it simpler to play and to write down, notate and tab out for you.
These are not exact copies - just 'inspired by' Sonny's playing. I have quantised his playing to help you learn and made backing tracks that are more contemporary so they sound better to your ears.
Each riff is explained by me and then you get it at three different speeds and also with written notation and harmonica tablature.
The first half of this course is on a C harp and the second half uses an A and a G harp.
