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 Steves "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 Steves original versions including harp

▪ 32 zoomable graphics
