Hello and welcome to this week’s lesson, where I will be showing you how to incorporate some chugging into a solo 12 Bar Blues piece.
You will need a harmonica in the key of C, and we will be playing in 2nd position in the key of G.

Thanks again Tomlin for a great lesson
Hi Tomlin,
Enjoying the challenge! On the third ‘lick’ now. Thanks for the lesson.
Clive.
Thank you for this lesson. Our group will certainly benefit from this.
Tomlin,
Could you do a lesson on HOW to take 1 chords licks and convert them into 4 chord licks to be used in the same 12 bar blues solo?
Inadvertently had the subtitles on. Licks were represented as”Music” but chugging was represented as “Laughter”. Pretty accurate I suppose.
Hi John, I cover this topic in my Introduction to Improvisation eCourse – https://tomlinharmonicaschool.com/p/introduction-to-improvisation-ecourse Cheers, Tomlin
