Offbeat Blues Comp – Harmonica Roots On 1 and 3 &

Offbeat Blues Comp with Harmonica Roots on 1 and 3 &

Let’s combine the Offbeat Blues Comp with the harmonica.

In this video, I’m going to keep it simple. The harmonica mimics where the kick drum sits and the guitar hits on the snare drum offbeats.

This is a standard 12 Bar Blues in the key of A.

The harmonica is played in second position so you’ll need a harmonica in the key of D.

Here’s my favourite – the Hohner Special 20.
I have shopped around to find you the best price possible.
I’ve found that Musician’s Friend supplies the best price and delivers all over the world.

We’re going to keep the harmonica simple for this one as well just playing root note shots on beat 1 and 3 &.
When on the I or A7 chord, play -2.
When on the IV or D7, play 1.
When on the V or E7, play -1.
