overblow

Join Ross Garren as he wraps up our series of lessons on overbending with a final study song titled “The Stretch.” In this song you’ll use all of the techniques he's taught you http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/bending_study_15_overbend_study_8_...

In this study we dig into expressive techniques to use with your overblows, specifically dips, quarter tone bends and “false fingering.” You’ll need a Bb Harmonica for this study.

In this study we apply overblows on holes 4, 5 and 6 to two study songs. “Highway 456” is in 2nd Position minor and “Swing It” is in 3rd Position. You’ll need a Bb Harmonica for this study http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/bending_study_11_overbending_study...

A new addition to the Overbend Study 1 Lesson (http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/bending_study_8_overbend_study_1_t...) continue reading...

The goal of this lesson is to continue advancing your overbend skills while simultaneously filling in the harmonic/theory knowledge that’s required of a traditional blues player to be able to apply/execute overbends well in our common three positions (1st, 2nd and 3rd). This will be achieved by studying chords (arpeggios) and chord scales (a combination of chord tones and scale tones), all to give you more material to play while improvising. continue reading...

In this study we’ll define what an overbend is, what notes are available on your harmonica with overbends, how to perform an overblow and provide you with exercises for you to practice overblows on holes 4, 5 and 6. continue reading...
