Improvise. CD

Puls Harmonica CD #2 - Learn to Bend Notes.
CD #2 is my Learn How to Bend Notes for
Harmonica CD. I have given all of the tricks and
tips to help you bend notes that I have picked
up in my years of teaching. This CD also
includes an introduction to the blues scale, a
number of different guitar jam tracks for
practice, and tips on improvising and building
solos. This CD is also done in the Key of G, so
you can use your trusty C harp with it. My
business partner gave it to his 15 year old son
to try. He couldn't even get a decent note from
draw 2 before listening. Within 15 minutes he
was getting a full deep bend on hole 2 draw
whenever he wanted to, and then moved this new
skill to holes one, three, and four within
minutes!

Puls Harmonica CD #3 - What Key Are We In?
CD #3 is the one I like to call Hey, What Key
Are We In? for Harmonica I
give you some review tips on cross harp playing
style and soloing, 15 guitar rhythm tracks in
different keys with tips for finding the key,
and an introduction to third position with some
tips on finding the target notes and harps to
use. The guitar rhythm tracks range from slow to
fast in a whole variety of blues styles, and are
played in the six most common keys used for
blues music. I recommend a chromatic pitch pipe
to help you find the keys, and the box set of
Suzuki Bluesmasters
which contains 6 different keys of harmonicas
most commonly played in Blues.

Puls Harmonica CD #8 - Duets With Doug.
CD #8 is a playalong which can be used with
either harmonica or guitar! I play rhythm guitar
on 10 tracks to put harp players and guitar
players through the paces! Each track is at
least 5 minutes long and is in the style of
several classic blues. It is a real chance to
work out your riffs. I have given you the guitar
song key and the corresponding harp to use so
you can dive right in! I suggest you listen to
each track first to get the feel of the rhythm
pattern to help you get an idea how you will
play your solo. A must for beginners and
intermediates! Great for advanced players who
want to warm up before the gig!

Duets
With Doug: The Ultimate Jazz Fakebook Series for
Harmonica - CD Version - CD101
I have created a new duet series with chromatic
players in mind. I have been asked at harmonica
seminars and festivals to create a series of CDs/tapes
of rhythm guitar accompaniment for standards, pop
tunes and jazz tunes.
I asked chromatic players for advice on
developing the series and making song suggestions.
As a result of their input, John Watts and I
searched for a book that would contain a majority
of the requested tunes. John contacted and
received permission from Hal Leonard Publications
to use The Ultimate Jazz Fakebook as the source
for the series. The series will give you an
opportunity to:
1. Play duets with Doug as your rhythm
guitarist.
2. Sight read melodies.
3. Improvise choruses
I'll be your personal rhythm guitarist
accompanying you on the above tunes selected from
Hal Leonard Publications' The Ultimate Jazz
Fakebook, C Edition. I'll back you up on guitar so
you can play the melody and improvise. I will
provide page number, song title, song key and
starting melody note and count you in for each
tune. Listen to a
