INTRODUCTION
Welcome to our second book of Sonny Terry style Riffs.
This book is a further attempt to delve into the style of Sonny Terry. We’ve selected riffs welike, slowed them down, tried to catch the essence of his playing, notated them, and then weplay each riff at three different speeds so you can learn it more easily.
I was captivated by Sonny’s playing when I first came across him in the 90s, and I’ve beentrying to get close to his style ever since. He’s been a major influence on so many otherplayers - Brendan Power (the guy that started me off teaching) says ‘Hearing Sonny Terry playblues harp was my inspiration to play harmonica, and I still love to play straight ahead, no-nonsense Blues’ and so do I!
The harps you will need for this book are G, A, Bb, and C.
As before I should remind you to listen to the man himself and you will hopefully recognise allthe riffs you will learn from this book.
We’ve tried to get the feel of Sonny’s playing but haven’t tried to get every detail down. If youwant to zoom in further get in touch with Joe Filisko and he’ll help you out.
These riffs are similar to those found in Sonny’s playing in general and some are inspired inparticular by his versions of ‘Pick a bale of cotton’ – can you spot them? The exercises at thefront of the book are mine and are designed to get you warmed up for the real thing and havealso been simplified to give you the skills to play like Sonny.
Paul is playing guitar on this album to accompany the riffs (and drums) and by altering yourbalance control you’ll see how to make the harmonica more or less prominent depending onyour preferred mix.
If you enjoy this CD/Book there are two other Sonny style books in our series that you mightlike. Once we started the research it was hard to stop! The more I look into Sonny’s style themore I see so we just kept going and ended up with enough riffs to start a fourth book -however we’ll stop at three. Probably.
Enjoy working through this and please give us feedback - tell us what you think of it!
Ben and Paul July 2010.

He was a minor third addict at fourteen and still has a passion for jazz and blues. Godfather DennisCorble gave Ben a harmonica at the age of 7 thus unknowingly sowing the seeds of a lifelong love of this instrument!
