This ends 34 years with Hohner, which began in 1977 in New York when Mr. Frank Hohner asked me to join the company. Working from the Richmond, VA office for 28 years, Customer Service has always been my number one priority. I have really enjoyed interfacing with the many fabulous musicians and keeping their instruments in top condition. Having recently remarried, I will be leaving Hohner to relocate with my husband in Leonardtown, Maryland. Hohner has been my extended family all these years, and I am blessed to have had the opportunity to work there. Now, I begin a new endeavor as the owner of HarmoniCare, where I will continue to provide service and care to my customers. For details and information, please contact me. [email protected] / Phone: 301 4755522.” Good luck Sissi!

    Jimi   Lee   grew   up   in   the   San   Francisco   Bay   area.   After  relocating  to  Hawaii,  he  spent  12  years  captivating  audiences  from  around  the  world  and  was  voted  Best  In  the  State  by  the  Hawaiian   Blues   Society.   He   now   resides   in   Austin,   Texas  where  the  Austin  Blues  Society  awarded  him  First  Place  in  the  Solo/Duo   category   at   the   Heart   O’   Texas   Blues   Challenge  2008,   and   was   first   to   represent   Austin   at   the   Blues  Foundation   International   Blues   Challenge   2009   in   Memphis.  Jimi   Lee   won   in   Austin   again   this   year   and  made   Austinites  proud  when   he  won   the   2010   International   Blues   Challenge  Semi-‐Finals   in  Memphis.  He  competed  at   the  Finals  as  one  of  the   top   eight   Solo/Duo   acts   in   the  world.   Jimi  was   awarded  

    First   Place   in   Blues   in   2008   by   the   Austin   Songwriters   Group   for   his   song   “Pocket   Full   of   Soul.”   This  followed  his  2006  win  with   “Laundromat”  and  his  2005  win  with   “Where  Are  You  Tonight.”  The  2005  contest  was   held   by  Austin   Songwriter   Group   and  Nashville   Songwriters  Association   International.  He  went  on  to  win  even  more  that  year  with  a  First  Place  in  the  Pop  category  for  “I  Wanna  Kiss  You  So  Bad”,  and  Third  Place  in  Blues  Rock  with  “Cheap  Thrills”.  The  Austin  Chapter  of  the  Harmonica  Organization  of  Texas   declared   Jimi   Lee   “one   of   the   best   in   the   world”   at   playing   harmonica   in   the   rack   and   guitar  simultaneously.”  The  2008   spring   issue  of  Harmonica  Happenings  magazine   featured   Jimi   in   an   article  entitled  “Rack  ‘Em  Up!  Playing  Harp  In  A  Neck  Rack:  A  Q&A  With  Jimi  Lee.”  “Jimi  is  part  of  the  tradition”,  say   the   organizers   of   the   SPAH   (Society   for   the   Preservation   and   Advancement   of   the   Harmonica)  convention,  where  he  has  performed  every  year  since  his  first  appearance  in  2003.  He  travels  the  country  as  harmonica  and  guitar  clinician;  and  shares  endorsements   for  Seydel  Harmonicas  with   James  Cotton,  Charlie  Musselwhite  and  Mark  Hummel.  Over  the  years,  Jimi  has  ignited  stages  alongside  giants  such  as  Muddy  Waters,  Bobby  Blue  Bland,  John  Lee  Hooker,  Willie  Nelson,  Clarence  Clemons,  Stephen  Stills,  Coco  Montoya,   Pinetop   Perkins,   Charlie  Musselwhite,   James   Cotton,   Kim  Wilson,  Mark  Hummel,   Jason  Ricci,  and   Chicago’s   “shuffle   master”   Sam   Lay.   Jimi   is   well   known   for   his   stellar   guitar,   vocals   and   rack  harmonica  playing.  Be  sure  not  to  miss  my  discussions  with  him  on  rack-‐playing  and  music  theory.  The  interview   was   recorded   in   Minneapolis,   Minnesota   August   of   2010.   This   lesson   is   not   up   as   of   yet...  coming  soon!      Complete  Lesson  List  Visit  www.bluesharmonica.com/lesson-‐list.com  for   a   complete   listing   of   lessons   on   the  website...   there  are  now  over  1,300  lesson  videos!

     TRANSCRIPTION  OF  THE  MONTH  This  month  we’ll  look  at  Big  Walter  Horton’s  1953  recording  of  “Easy.”  The  transcription  is  at  the  end  of  this  newsletter.    General  Comments  

    This  song   is   famous   for  multiple  reasons.  The  song   is  an   instrumental  version  of   Ivory  Joe  Hunter’s  popular  1949  tune  “When  I  Lost  My  Baby  I  Almost  Lost  My  Mind.”  This  is  a  great  example  of  Horton’s  use  of  a  popular  song  of  the  day  for  writing  an  instrumental  (an   idea   to  be  repeated  throughout  his  career).  Note   the  great  use  of  repetition  within  the  song.  The  first  three  choruses  are  the  same,  with  slight  variation.  He  deviates  in  the  fourth  chorus  and  returns  back  to  the  melody  for  the  fifth  chorus.  This  is  a  very  melodic  song  and  Big  Walter’s  great  use  of  textures  makes  it  a  blues  masterpiece.    

     His  throat  tremolo  plays  a  very  important  role  in  the  intense  presentation  of  the  song.  The  throat  tremolo  is  where  you  use  the  vocal  chords  in  a  light  coughing  fashion  to  create  rhythmic  variations  in  volume.  (A  vibrato   is  where   the   pitch   fluctuates—he’s   not   using   a   vibrato.)  Most   players   (including  myself)   use   a  slower  throat  tremolo  than  Horton  is  using  here.  Work  on  speeding  up  your  tremolo  to  match  his  intense  sound  (it  will  take  time)  if  that's  what  you're  looking  for.    1st  Chorus  -  ABC  Chorus  Form  This   first   chorus   presents   the   main   melody.   There’s   nothing   difficult   here   except   for   mimicking   his  tremolo.  Take  extra  time  working  on  the  turnaround  (measures  11  through  12).  Each  turnaround  will  be  slightly  different,  making  them  easy  to  mix  up  when  performing.  For  advanced  players,  focus  on  matching  his  tone  and  presentation…  this  is  not  an  easy  task!    2nd  Chorus  -  ABC  Chorus  Form  Note  the  use  of  half  step  bend  pickups  for  variation.  Note  that  on  the  third  measure  we’re  playing  a  shake  for   the  3  draw/4  draw   instead  of  a  chord.  Drop  your  volume  quickly  enough   to  prepare   for   the   triplet  pickup  to  the  IV7  Chord.  Note  the  new  turnaround  (this  is  an  often-‐used  turnaround  and  is  worthwhile  memorizing).    3rd  Chorus  -  ABC  Chorus  Form  We  now  present   the  main  theme  with  shakes.  You  can  omit   the  triplet  going   into  measure  three   if  you  find  it  hard  to  play  among  the  shakes  (most  newer  students  do).  On  the  second  beat  of  measure  three  he  plays  a  5  blow  instead  of  a  5  blow  shake.  You  may  wish  to  play  that  as  a  shake  as  well  to  keep  the  shakes  going  (this  will  be  easier  and  smoother  than  what  he  plays).  Note  the  rhythm  at  the  turnaround.    4th  Chorus  -  A  B/A1  C  Chorus  Form  This  is  where  Walter  starts  kickin’  some  butt.  Bending  control  and  good  tone  are  the  key  thoughts  here.  Focus  on  making  your  bends  sound  strong  without  an  airy  quality.  If  your  bends  sound  airy  you’ll  need  to  experiment  to  find  the  best  position  of  the  tongue.  Note  the  quartertones  used  in  the  third  measure  on  the  3  draw.  Don’t  bend  the  3  draw  down  too  much.  But  note  that  the  3  draw  is  at  the  half  step  bend  (not  the  quartertone)  on  measure  six.  On  the  IV7  Chord  we’ll  usually  play  the  3  draw  bent  exactly  to  the  half  step;  whereas  on  the  I7  Chord  we  bend  it  only  down  a  quartertone.  When  you  get  back  to  the  I7  chord  in  measure   seven   go   back   to   using   the   3   draw   quartertone.  Measure   nine   brings   the   chorus   back   to   the  repetitive  melody.    5th  Chorus  -  ABC  Chorus  Form    You’ll  now  play  the  melody  in  shakes  for  the  first  eight  measures.  Note  the  interesting  choice  of  notes  in  the  shake  for  the  second  line  (measures  five  through  eight).  Usually  the  bottom  note  caries  the  melody  in  

  •   6  

    the  shake...  in  this  section  it  switches  to  the  top  note  to  keep  the  shake  line  from  becoming  too  dissonant  with  the  use  of  the  7+  in  the  shake.      Note  the  missing  2  at  the  end  of  measure  ten;  this  is  a  nice  rhythmic  change  to  set  up  the  ending  lick.    Final  Comments  This  deceptively  simple  song  is  a  real  winner  at  jams  for  its  focused  melody.  You  can  stretch  out  and  improvise  more  in  the  body  of  the  song  if  you  wish.      What  to  Tell  the  Band  Key:  F  Groove:  Shuffle  Start:  From  the  I  (One  Chord)    Special  Note:  This  song  is  commonly  played  in  two  ways…  1)  Bass  or  guitar  playing  the  bass  line  only,  and  drummer  using  brushes  to  play  the  snare  on  the  beat  and  hi-‐hat  on  the  backbeat  (beats  two  and  four).  2)  Full  band,  but  have  them  play  very  mellow.      RECOMMENDED  LISTENING  With  Mark  Hummel’s  Blues  Harmonica  Blowouts  right  around  the  corner  I  wanted  to  highlight  some  of  the  best  live  recordings  on  the  market...  ones  right  from  the  blowouts  themselves.  Below  are  the  four  2xCDs  sets  from  these  shows.      Blues  Harp  Meltdown  Volume  1  (2cds)  Disk  1  -‐  1.  You  Messed  Up  -‐  RJ  Mischo  2.  Sleepin'  In  The  Ground  -‐  RJ  Mischo  3.  Gary  Smith  Intro  -‐  Mark  Hummel  4.  You're  So  Fine  -‐  Gary  Smith  5.  Gary  Smith  Comments  -‐  Gary  Smith  6.  Elevate  Me  Mama  -‐  Gary  Smith  7.  Minor  Mambo  Intro  -‐  Gary  Smith  8.  Minor  Mambo  -‐  Gary  Smith  9.  Mark  Hummel  Intro  10.  They  Don't  Want  Me  To  Rock  -‐  Mark  Hummel  11.  Can't  Judge  Nobody  -‐  Mark  Hummel  12.  Humblebug  -‐  Mark  Hummel  /  Disk  2  -‐  1.  Billy  Branch  Intro  -‐  Mark  Hummel  2.  Billy's  Boogie  3.  Eyesight  To  The  Blind  -‐  Billy  Branch   4.   Blues   Keep   Following  Me   Around   -‐   Billy   Branch   5.   James   Harman   Intro   -‐   Mark   Hummel   6.  Helsinki   Laundromat   Blues   -‐   James   Harman   7.   Harman's   Comments   8.   Back   Door   Rhumba   -‐   James  Harman  9.  Rick  Estrin  Intro  -‐  Mark  Hummel  10.  Rick  Estrin's  Comments  11.  Your  Gonna  Need  My  Help  -‐  Rick  Estrin  12.   Estrin's  Rap  13.  Work  With  Me   -‐  Rick  Estrin  14.  Kim  Wilson   Intro   -‐  Mark  Hummel  15.  Don't  Lose  Your  Eye  -‐  Kim  Wilson  16.  Just  A  Dream  -‐  Kim  Wilson  http://www.bluebeatmusic.com/product_info.php?products_id=3125      Blues  Harp  Meltdown  Volume  2  (2cds)  -‐    EAST  MEETS  WEST  Disc  1  -‐  1.  Telephone  Blues  (R.J.  Mischo)  2.  Moe's  Blues  (R.J.  Mischo)  [Inst.]  3.  You  Can't  Hurt  Me  No  More  (Gary   Smith)   4.   Story   Telling  Woman   (Gary   Smith)   5.   It   Ain't   Right   (Gary   Smith)   6.   Intro.   7.   All   These  Blues   (Paris   Slim)  8.   Intro.  9.   Seven  Nights  To  Rock   (Mark  Hummel)  10.   I'm  Gone   (Mark  Hummel)  11.  Love  Shock  (Mark  Hummel)  12.  Nothing  But  The  Devil  (Annie  Raines)    /  Disc  2  -‐  1.  Intro.  2.  Even  Good  Women   Have   Bad   Days   (Annie   Raines)   3.   Little   Dog   (Annie   Raines)   4.   Annie's   Rocker   [Inst.]   (Annie  Raines)  5.  Intro.  6.  Everything's  Gonna  Be  All  Right  (Johnny  Dyer)  7.  Mojo  Boogie  (Johnny  Dyer)  8.  Long  Distance   Call   (Johnny  Dyer)   9.   Blow  Wind  Blow   (Mark  Hummel)   10.   Intro.   11.   Real   Gone   Lover   (Gary  Primich)  12.  Can't  Stand  You  When  You're  Drinking  (Gary  Primich)  13.  Playgirl  (Gary  Primich)  14.  Intro.  15.  Ain't  She  Trouble  (Gary  Primich)  16.  Goodye  17.  Goodbye  Little  Girl  (Gary  Primich)  http://www.bluebeatmusic.com/product_info.php?products_id=372
