“Rock’n the Folk” an amplified harp/ band CD lesson with 24 page CD booklet. This is the lesson that really takes you to an advanced level in a spectacularly easy way. The goal is to to learn to play and improvise on cross harp melodies such as "Frankie and Johnnie" and "Red River Valley." This gives you the beginning of a repertoire that everyone will know, understand and relate to. It also teaches you to use the cross harp bends and unbends as important melody notes. It teaches you how to play blues riffs and use blues harp techniques such as bends, unbends, head-shakes, octaves, octave head-shakes, articulation and chording with the timing and feeling of melody lines. Now, you’re blues-playing/improvising with expertise. The CD starts with a 30 minute lesson that teaches you many new riffs and techniques and how to use them. Then we learn, using songs “This Train”, “Oh Susannah”, “Old Smokey”, “Red River Valley” “Home on the Range”, “Bill Bailey” , “Frankie and Johnnie” played Cross Harp, and with the band’s backing, we improvise on them as blues and jazz. The illustrated CD booklet may be small but it is good! It explains basic music theory and harmony in ways everyone can understand. It is richly illustrated and provides notation of every song and riff plus improvisational options and guitar chords.
