Thanks. I am always interested in players I have not yet heard but I also feel like the universe of blues harp holds more than I can explore in a lifetime. Plus it's what I really...

Man, I'm not really on the up and up with jazz players nowadays. Most of the time I am turned off by their tone, sound, and cramped sense of phrasing. As far as players who are...

Any particular jazz players, besides Toots, that you think are especially expressive?

Glad you like it, Boyd! You’ve got the right idea - take your time, be patient with yourself, and have fun with it!

WhAT a great lesson, I'm stuck on the third chorus. But I'll get it. Going to take time. I never give up it's fun
2040 thumb Dennis gruenling left a comment on: Moan A Chrome Sixth Chorus Breakdown
Hi - yes, I tend to agree that with almost all jazz lpayers I hear, the range of tone and expression of each individual note is not nearly as wide as with a good blues player. Not...

This all makes a lot of sense. I recently saw Hendrik Muerkel, a jazz harp player, and he played all single notes. He was great but the wide range of tones, sounds, percussive...

For blues, no. You CAN play any position you want (a few guys have used 1st position, starting with George Smith...and Charlie Musselwhite, Paul deLay, Steve Guyger, Rick Estrin...

Since you can't really bend on the chromatic (not to the next musical note anyway) I have to be careful about mentionig and teaching "scoops" on the chromatic since it is VERY easy...

Dennis, A bit of a scoop up on the 6-draw?
2040 thumb Dennis gruenling liked a comment:
Dennis, Another question. Are there other positions used on the chromatic commonly to play blue's? Any good examples you can think of to listen to? Thanks. I'm getting a lot out...

I agree with Robert! I don't know how you measure demand but I hope you'll do more with the chromatic. There's tons of great material on the site for diatonic so it would be great...
2040 thumb Dennis gruenling left a comment on: Moan A Chrome Seventh and Eighth Chorus Breakdown
Thank you! Hopefully there will be more, depending on demand. Maybe not so much "major" (as "regular blues" isn't truly major anyway), but if I do more chromaic, it will be...

Thanks for the great chromatic primer, Dennis - looking forward to more in the future (octaves, major key, etc)!
2040 thumb Dennis gruenling left a comment on: Moan A Chrome Seventh and Eighth Chorus Breakdown
Hi - Good questions... - Yes, it is in Eb, and George plays it with the button in - Is it common? It just depends on what key the song is, and/or what key the vocalist likes to...
