_ [G] _ _ _ _ Hi, welcome back to Tips and Tricks for the [N] Folk Blues Harmonica.
Today I'm using a C _ [A] diatonic harmonica.
Thank you folks for writing in, trying to answer some of your questions. _ _
Sonny Terry, _ [Eb] well Sonny Terry, I think it's best you check it out yourself.
The C in his is believin'.
There's a lot of Sonny Terry on YouTube.
[D] When I was growing up I didn't get a chance to actually see him.
_ I got to meet Ronnie McGee finally, but I never got to see Sonny Terry and Ronnie [E] McGee play together.
_ _ Go on YouTube and _ [G] check it [Gb] out.
It's best to see him.
I got a little rhythm that I adapted from [C] _
_ listening to them.
Very simple little, there you [G] go. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ Ta ta ta ti ti ta ta ta.
_ _ _ Make sure you're getting all four tones here.
Hold one, two, three, four below.
You got the two [C] free chords. _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ Right [D] this way, we'll try it together.
_ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ Rest, rest.
_ [C] _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ See, [A] it kind of swings like that.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ Then you do a little shortening, right? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[E] Now, one more little rhythm we can do here is just ta ta ta ti, [C] ta ta ta ti. _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ When you breathe out, the one you breathe out is going to be really [G] short.
It's like, _ _ so _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
you can just hear [C] the _ [G] after ring. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You hear that?
It's like, ta ta ta ti, ta ta ta ti. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Then ta ta ti ti, ta ta ti ti, ta ta ti ti. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Now, [C] part of the secret here is that you change the size of your mouth while you're playing.
Like I go [G] like, _ _ _ _ see how [F] I kind of [G] smile? _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C]
Not only am I making my mouth a little [N] bit _ _ wider, where I'm definitely including whole
four and then sometimes even whole five, but I'm changing the sound by changing the size
of my mouth, the timbre [G] of the sound. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] So, we're working on it.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Now, that [C] together with your hand technique.
[G] _
_ [Eb] _ When I smile, it's like when I got my [C] hand open, and when I frown, I frown, but I bring
your jaw down, aww, then I got my hand closed.
_ [G] Music's on. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Now, working on it in [Dm] combination with your hand technique, you'll get a [Ab]
much more. _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] So, it's kind of an explosive thing.
When your hand's open, you _ _ [G] play the note, _ _ _ your [E] hand's open [Am]
explosively at the same time
you're a little smile. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ So, now [G] I bring [G] my jaw down, _ _ bring my jaw. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] So, I hope you hear the difference in the sound.
We're working on it a little bit here. _ _
_ So, [G] remember. Perfect.
_ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And then, _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ you can do _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ a train whistle on three and four, four and five, _ two and three. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] Now, work on that where you're smiling and frowning. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C]
