Steve Luff describes how to improvise on the Chromatic Harmonica (C) in the key of A minor & C major. Lesson 1 of 12.
Learn to play the Chromatic Harmonica:
Unlike its diatonic counterpart the Chromatic Harmonica enables the player to perform in all 12 keys. This is incredibly advantageous to Chromatic Harmonica players as they are able to switch musical keys in an instant. Chromatic Harmonicas can be found in all genre’s of music but are often associated strongly with Classical and Jazz music. Whilst simple to achieve a great sound and perform in the key of C major and A minor. This instrument can be challenging when first venturing into exploring all 12 keys.
This video is aimed at introducing beginners to take their first steps playing and understanding the Chromatic Harmonica in all 12 keys. It is also aimed at players who have not yet ventured into improvising on the instrument. The practical approach introduced by myself (Steve Luff) in this video involves utilising the minor pentatonic scales. Minor pentatonic scales are only comprised of five notes and offer players a great flexible approach to improvising on the instrument.
The use of the slide on the Chromatic Harmonica can be daunting. This tutorial not only provides clear examples of when to activate the slide but also offers examples on how it can be used to add musical flavour to your playing technique. Providing you with a rich Jazzy and Bluesy tone.

Thanks so much. I've spent hours trying to get started with my chromatic harp - could play around in C but couldn't find the other keys. This is a great start, I'm so grateful. Nowhere else on the web is there such good teaching and demonstration. You are brilliant.

Thank you for the information Steve - sometimes the viewer is looking for a video that gets straight to the point and this video is like that ! I just picked up some older Chromatic harps and this is just what I needed, when I needed it.

Hi Steve, thanks for the info. I want to play chromatic on the Adele song "If it hadn't been for love" in Am and my search led me here. That scale should work well. I'm still getting used to the instrument and need to add those beautiful incidentals with the slide.

Hi great artist. Can you tell me what kind of microphone do you use in videos? And for the midi bases, what do you use? Thank you very much Alessio Italy
@SteveLuff
@SteveLuff 5 лет назад
Hi Alessio, thank you for the kind comment. I am using a Sennheiser e825 s microphone. In regards to the backing track and the audio software, I have recorded myself playing the backing track on guitar using a jack to usb input straight into my computer. I have then used the Natural Strum Guitar Patch on Garage Band. I also used a custom patch for the harmonica as well. Thanks Steve
