Blues Chromatic Study 1

Blues Chromatic Study 1 is now on the server! The chromatic harmonica is a very intuitive instrument to play the blues on. In this first of five lessons we'll focus on: embouchure, cupping (accoustic and electric), models available, tuning, positions, what the slide does, care and maintanance, an intuitive approach to playing the chromatic and the study song "No Sweat."

This study is for all skill level players (as well as beginners). If you're coming to this study from the beginning study outline, skip all the prep videos and just jump right into learning the song.

You'll need a standard solo-tuned C Chromatic Harmonica for this study. I recommend the Hohner Super Chromonica 270 Deluxe (12-hole). If you already own a solo-tuned chromatic that's 10, 12 or 16-hole in size, these will also work just fine.
