Blues Harp

BLUES HARP
Multimedia-based playalongs for blues harmonica players

This app for iPad offers an exciting and practical way of learning how to play the blues harp in a wide range of contemporary styles. 11 great sounding Steve Baker original tracks (+ backing tracks) guarantee maximum playing enjoyment. BLUES HARP contains lots of music, from a soul ballad and an afrofunk-track to some punk and reggae sounds but also boogie, swing, rockabilly and of course: the blues! These pieces were originally published as Vol. 3 of Steve's "Blues Harmonica Playalongs" series, but the exceptionally user friendly presentation as an iPad app makes using them far easier and much more fun!

On 57 pages BLUES HARP consists of:

▪ 11 playalongs plus Steve's original versions including harp

▪ 32 zoomable graphics
