I would like to see some in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. We are talking a chromatic harp here where there is little to no end of it's ability.

Boogie'n With George, a first position number by one of the GREATEST blues chromatic harp players George Smith, would be, in my opinion, a good start for a 1st position tune. Third comes very naturally though. When I think about the first time I heard Boogie'n With George I had no idea from where it was coming from due to the chromatic being so extensively used in 3rd position. My ears and lack of experience decieved me in a major way. It took me a long time to figure it out.

I am very happy you are considering doing some lessons with the chromatic harp Dennis. You are one of the hottest chrome players in the universe.

Sounds like a good idea to me.  I play a little 3rd position on a Chromonica 260 (10 hole) and would like to learn more.

Yes, I'd be quite interested!

I might mention that for those not ready to take the financial plunge of purchasing a high-end chromatic, there are some inexpensive imported harps available online. While they might not be a reliable performance instrument, they are cheap enough for getting your feet wet for those just wanting to give it a try.

Count me in as Interested although I don't own a chromatic yet so would like a recommendstion there, and wont be able to dig into it until Q2, so may need to trail the real-time lesson...but that is the beauty of Sonic Junction!

I'd say YEAH!

Hi Dennis:

Count me in for it. I also have a Hohner Chromonica III in C - gathering dust on my bureau. Big and intimidating Beast. I’m more the ready for it. I look forward to chromo knowledge- help with other positions on the diatonic, I would think.

 

Bill Blatner

I am definitely interested. I have a very old hohner chromatic - can't remember the model and I'm away from it just now. All these positions have me feeling pretty thinly spread, but an intro would be awesome. Thanks for everything!

Hi Dennis,

I would be very interested. I have a Chromonica 270 in in C, and a Super 64 that have not received the love they deserve.

Definitely interested, this would help a lot of players broaden their sonic palette.

I'm interested, especially if you can relate the lessons to well-known players and cover the options like holes and tunings. Why, other than to make more interesting publicity photos, would Little Walter use the chromatics? I don't have a chromatic and probably wouldn't buy one, but I'm very interested in blues harmonica evolution and figuring out what is going on in earlier recordings where all or most of the people with first-hand knowledge are now dead.

I get more from your commentary and ideas about what works to keep the music interesting and dynamic than from the licks. Keep that coming!

So in summary, please don't spend months on it, but I would appreciate learning more about the instrument through a several-weeks-long series.

Thanks for asking!
