THE BEN HEWLETT HARMONICA COURSE VOLUME 6 101 BLUES RIFFS Hello and welcome to the 6th in our series in which we offer you 101 blues riffs to learn, use, modify, and take over their ownership. Each riff will be played for you at a fast speed, then a slower speed and then in most cases, at an intermediate speed. Each track contains five riffs in the style of some of my favourite players, starting with simpler riffs to get you started and gradually getting harder. Whilst studying with Joe Filisko I've learnt that most of the earlier players tongueblocked most of the time. However, to make it easier, I've decided to ignore this generally, but you should try the tongue-block style as well. Use your tongue to cover a couple of holes to the left of the notes I've given you and it should work out! The players on which we have based these riffs are chosen haphazardly from my personal music collection so should not be taken as exclusively the best players - although they are all exceptional in my opinion. We also ran out of space on the CD so couldn't use riffs in the style of Paul Lamb, Kim Wilson, Sugar Blue, John Popper, Paul Jones, Lee Sankey, Johnny Mars, Steve Baker and a bunch of other inspirational players. Maybe on the next riffs album! My playing - (although brilliant!) - is no match for the source players whose styles I've attempted, so my best advice is to encourage you, after enjoying this CD, to go back to the original players and to study them directly. It is much harder of course - what we have we have tried to do here is to present the same information for you in a half digested form - almost regurgitated, and fed from beak to open screeching beak. Imagine us like a Mummy or Daddy bird feeding you, our fat and starving little chicks! 6
