Rick Estrin Reveals Secrets, Subtleties & Tricks of the

Blues Harmonica DVD

Price: $29.95
Level: Intermediate/Advanced

Description:
If you’ve been a blues harmonica fan for a while, then you know of Rick Estrin’s mastery of the harmonica, songwriting and live performance. I’ve had the opportunity to get to know him over the last decade and found out very quickly that he’s a very articulate person, with a very deep understanding of the blues and the harmonica’s place in the music. In this lesson DVD Rick doesn’t teach new licks or techniques, it’s all about context… what to do with what you’ve spent years to learn. Think of this video as the fatherly harmonica role model you’ve never had… the do’s and don’ts of how to get the most out of your performance.

Rick doesn’t waste any time getting to the point… plays tons of examples and keeps the DVD fun, in a way only Rick Estrin can do. I recommend watching this DVD every couple years to keep you on the path of making great music.

Reviews:
“Rick Estrin - singer, songwriter, showman, raconteur, fashion plate,and harmonica player extraordinaire, has tapped into his remarkable panoply of talents to produce this unique DVD aimed at raising the playing and performance skills of aspiring harmonica players of all levels.

While most instructional materials focus on the physical aspects of playing the instrument, Rick addresses the equally important conceptual side of music and performance: how to get inside the groove and let it carry you to a greater degree of freshness and creativity, avoid being stuck in a rut and becoming a prisoner of stale patterns and clichés, how to listen and construct interesting solos, and how to connect with your audience, entertain them, and “get over” with the crowd.

His 25 years of performing all over the world as the front man for Little Charlie and the NIghtcats - now Rick Estrin and the NIghtcats, has given him a wealth of experience which he now shares with you. I guarantee that you'll learn a lot, and as is always the case with Rick, be hugely entertained along the way.” Jerry Portnoy

“Essential for all who seek blues harmonica enlightenment.” Joe Filisko
