What exactly is a minor key Blues? How do you choose the right harmonica to sound soulful and bluesy? I picked minor key Blues by BB King (The Thrill Is Gone), Ray Charles (Losing Hand), and Herbie Mann (Comin’ Home Baby), to demystify these questions.
You will see me use 5 different key harps for each of the 3 tunes. And hopefully, this video will give you a fresh perspective on playing minor key Blues.
The harmonicas I use in this video:
Hohner Marine Band with Special 20 coverplates customized by Joe Filisko in G, Ab, A, Bb, C, E and low F;
Hohner Crossover in D;
Hohner Marine Band Deluxe in Eb
