101 Folk Tunes Played At A steady Pace And Learnt By Ear

This course is for people who want to learn to play Folk Music from (mostly) the British Isles on Harmonica in the traditional way - by EAR. Each tune is played slowly for 5 minutes in the initial part with the key stated. In the second part the tunes are faster because it's a real session and the keys are stated. In the third part you're on your own in the Orkney Folk club (as was I)!

Low Rider by the band 'War' feat. Lee Oskar on Harmonica

Great song to learn. What we will do here is to begin by learning how to play and recognise the chords in the music on our C diatonic Harmonicas and then apply some rhythm to those chords. In other words, we will be taking on the role of a rhythm guitarist, listening to the players' tracks, and isolating each one to find out what we want to use to play rhythm, harmonica, or comping, we might call it. We will play along with the band in many different versions of their performance. And finally, we will learn the tunes and melodies, the baseline, and use a G blues scale and a D minor pentatonic scale to improvise with. So the end result should be a fantastic workout, and it's an easy song to play, so you should be able to play this live with bands, as it's a well-known piece. Good luck and have fun!
