Sonny Terry
LessonRareyoutube

5th part. 2nd Chorus, V-IV-I Chords. Blues harp tutorial - Tongue block riff. Intermediate level. Sonny Terry is one of the most famous of the traditional blues harmonica players. In this video series we will play a four chorus boogie, using Sonny's typical techniques like chugging, hand smacks, tongue blocking,... In this video we will play the last bars of the 2nd chorus. we'll gone through a tongue block riff, I think that Sonny played this riff with tongue block technique. Sonny played this riff in several songs like "Hooray, Hooray, This Woman Is Killing Me", "Boogie Baby",... I try to accurately reproduce the original, and that everyone can enjoy playing the blues and country harp.
