The Beginner’s Guide to Diatonic Harmonicas
It’s not a coincidence that the word “blue” can mean both devoted or sad, in addition to the description of color. Playing the blues means to melodize emotions. It’s an acoustic rendition of devotion, sadness, hope, and freedom. It’s the scoring of “blue”, with a typical sound and countless subtleties.
We have joined forces with the exceptional blues harpist Steve Baker to create the Blues Starter Set, so you can learn these subtleties and melodize your own feelings. This boxset gives a comprehensive introduction into the world of blues, with detailed tutorials from the right hand position to the first steps with a harmonica. Within no time, you’ll be able to play simple songs, and lay the foundation for your own explorations. It’s the perfect set for beginners and those who’d like to brush up on their knowledge, not just for blues aficionados but also for rock, pop, and country.
