Chromatic Harmonicas

[ChAnOoD_bLuEs]

Hey, I would love to know if you guys know some websites with tips, tutorials -anything- about the chromatic harp. I play diatonic, but some months ago I bought a Chrometta 8 and the only thing i can do it´s the chromatic part of Love Me Do. I need to learn with the chromatic! I found the chromatic harps really hard to play...

I know what you mean about chromatic - a whole different instrument! Never really got anywhere with it myself.

I know that most blues players who play the big harp, mostly play in 3rd position - ignoring the slide. Little Walter played a lot of chromatic this way and more recently the like of William Clarke, Paul Oscher and Carey Bell. I also read that some player remove the windsavers from certain reeds so they can bend like a diatonic, but I think that it makes the harp leak air more.

I wish I could play like Stevie Wonder though! full chromatic soul/jazz style! Good luck

I´ve seen that page but now I can see the chromatic section! Thanks!

I think it´s difficult to made chromatic riffs with the harp when you always played in diatonic... I´ll try again
