Between Chaos and Structure: Practical harmony theory for blues harmonica players.
Are you an advanced harmonica player who feels like you’re not really making progress? Are you unsure how to play along with or improvise on more complex pieces?
This textbook was written specifically for harmonica players. It lays the foundation for musical growth and clears away the confusion that inevitably arises when playing purely by intuition.
- music theory explained step by step—no prior musical training required
- specially designed for blues harmonica players
- well-structured for learning
- no sheet music reading required
- playing in different positions
- analyzing and understanding musical pieces
- plenty of exercises
- the book is based on a harmonica in C major, Richter Tuning
Knowledge of music theory (not just reading sheet music) is the key to understanding musical structures—this applies to all genres of music and instruments. The authors explain music theory step by step, with many practical tips and exercises.
Peter Volksdorf is a multi-instrumentalist who, in addition to the harmonica, plays many other instruments, such as the accordion, guitar, banjo, and trumpet, in various bands. Bertram Becher (co-author) is a product specialist at SEYDEL, has been playing in bands since he was 15 (piano, blues harmonica), and has authored numerous textbooks on the blues harmonica (the SOUNDCHECK series, Interactive Blues Harp Workshop). "Between Chaos and Structure" is the result of their many years of experience as musicians and hours of conversations with other harmonica players, all of whom were seeking greater freedom and confidence on their instrument.
