Master the heart-warming sounds of the country Harmonica with this comprehensive tutorial. Starting from your first few notes, this DVD will guide you as you learn the phrasing, blowing patterns and bending techniques that characterise the sound of an authentic Harmonica melody. Peter 'Madcat' Ruth shows you basic breathing patterns that then become the basic 'Train Rhythm' of Harmonica comping. Ruth also demonstrates a variety of hand positions that will enable you to master a good vibrato and the 'Wah Wah' sound.
Such techniques are useless without a good tune to play, and Ruth shows you some of his campfire favourites including Down In The Valley and Camptown Races.
