INTRODUCTION

Hello and welcome to the Ben Hewlett Harmonica Course by Ben

Hewlett and Paul Lennon. The purpose of this book and CD is to give

you a challenging workout. This amazing collection of riffs has been

specially composed to help you expand your blues repertoire. They’re

arranged in different speeds and by the key of the harmonica. You’re

going to need six harps for this collection – that’s A, Bb, C, D, F and G

natural minor. All the notation and harmonica tablature is included to

help you learn each riff along with the recordings. I hope you won’t find

this too easy – it’s a response to all you people who have asked us for

something more stretching!

Good luck with it all and if you’d like some more check out the other

blues riffs albums on our site www.harmonicaworld.net -

see you at the end.

Ben Hewlett became a musician at the age of ten in 1969 learning thetrumpet. He went through the school system of exams and performances,finally escaping the mandatory classical repertoire with the discovery ofLouis Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie. He was a minor third addict at fourteen and still has a passion for jazz and blues. Godfather DennisCorble gave Ben a harmonica at the age of 7 thus unknowingly sowing the seeds of a lifelong love of this instrument!
