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 tolearn, use, modify, and take over their ownership.
Each riff will be played for you at a fast speed, then a slower speed and then inmost cases, at an intermediate speed.
Each track contains five riffs in the style of some of my favourite players, startingwith simpler riffs to get you started and gradually getting harder.
Whilst studying with Joe Filisko I've learnt that most of the earlier players tongue-blocked most of the time. However, to make it easier, I've decided to ignore thisgenerally, but you should try the tongue-block style as well. Use your tongue tocover 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 mypersonal 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 CDso 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 inspirationalplayers. Maybe on the next riffs album!
My playing - (although brilliant!) - is no match for the source players whose stylesI've attempted, so my best advice is to encourage you, after enjoying this CD, to goback 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 youin a half digested form - almost regurgitated, and fed from beak to open screechingbeak. Imagine us like a Mummy or Daddy bird feeding you, our fat and starvinglittle chicks!

Ben Hewlett became a musician at the age of ten in 1969 learning thetrumpet. He went through the school system of exams and performances,finally escaping the mandatory classical repertoire with the discovery ofLouis Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie. He was a minor third addict at fourteen and still has a passion for jazz and blues. Godfather DennisCorble gave Ben a harmonica at the age of 7 thus unknowingly sowing the seeds of a lifelong love of this instrument!
