Harmonica Lessons - #15 Hey Gary! - Blues Harmonica Blueprint - Annie Raines chords
Start Jamming...
Alright, it's time to rock out now.
I'm going to play a whole song here and it's going to be five choruses using a bunch of
the tricks we've been learning plus one or two extra.

Alright we're almost done.
You've already done the leg work for most of this one.
The first chorus is just ah da hudda duck.
[C] [G] [N]
The second chorus is that [D] huckleberry pie.
[E] [D] [N] The fourth chorus I'm doing those bending [E] variations.
And the third and fifth choruses came together as I was playing this as a tribute to my old
friend Gary Primich, the late great Gary Primich, one of my favorite harmonica players
who was taken from us too soon.
And there were some songs he played where he played these great combinations of octaves.
He was a really inventive player and I recommend you check out his albums.
Starting on the one and four draw, [D] [B] two five blow, [G] three six blow.
You can go almost anywhere from there.
So what I'm doing is walking back down the octaves and then playing a soulful three four
draw with a qua bring it up and then bring it down.
So I'm kind of starting from a little half step bend on that sweetening effect, bringing
it up to normal [B] and then bending it down almost a whole step.
[Em]
[Bm] There's a trick to bending down two notes at once and that is don't take the two notes
thing too literally.
You might have to edge more over just to the three and get about a quarter of the four
whole in there in order to keep it from sounding really strident.
The [G]
other trick is to just get out of there before anybody notices what you're doing.
And I slide down to two and three draw.
[C] [G] Back [C] up to the top.
[Bb] [C] Release my energy on a little blow chord, get ready for the draw.
Always setting myself up for the next thing [Bb] [G] and just hammer those down beats and play
a little shuffle and just vary that as much [C] as you want.
[D] [G] [E] [C]
That's the hey baa baa reba riff.
Same octaves, just changing the order of them.
[Em]
[G] Hit those horn hits.
You might hear a trombone and a trumpet and a horn section.
Hitting those really strong.
And the [C] ending.
[G] Just repeat a couple of the forms.
Three six blow, two five blow, one four draw, back up to two five blow, one four draw,
[D] qua
ooh, and then [G] two draw.
[C] [N] And send them home with a nice vibrato.
