It is designed for harmonica players who want direct insight into the techniques, tone, and phrasing that defined his powerful electric blues sound, supported by guided audio examples you can study alongside the text. Butterfield walks you through practical blues essentials such as note bending, tongue blocking, and tremolo, explaining how each technique shapes expression, control, and feel. Online audio is included via the unique code inside the book, with tracks available for download or streaming. You also get PLAYBACK+, an interactive audio player that lets you slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right for focused listening and deeper analysis. This approach makes it easy to move from explanation to real application. Hearing subtle bends, rhythmic phrasing, and tonal shading in context helps you absorb blues vocabulary as music rather than simply memorizing patterns. The controlled playback tools are especially useful when isolating phrases and refining your timing and tone for consistent, confident blues performance in both practice and live playing situations. Use this book for structured self-study or as a focused supplement to lessons when you want authoritative guidance from one of modern blues harmonica’s most influential voices. It is a practical and inspiring resource for players who want to strengthen their technique while developing a more authentic and expressive blues sound rooted in classic Chicago blues tradition. Full Song List Paul Butterfield - Blues Harmonica Master Class Review: Pauls Butterfeilds basics a good start. - I've played blues harp since I was 16 years old. In 1967 I attened the Montrey Pop Festival where Paul and his band played. I was blown away by the performance of the tune Drifting and Drifting (it's on youtube). I was amazed; How he could make that harmonica sound. I was hooked. Over the next 43 years I've listen and played along with Pauls albums, CD's (in addition to other blues harpest). I've perfected most of his harp licks into my own style of sound and playing, (and you should too). I just purchased this instructional book with CD only becasue I can't get enough of Pauls playing. This is a very easy course to start with. It flows along very good, progressively adding to the instructional content. It's a good tool to learn Pauls basics. It sould be repeated over and over again and practiced to regularly. I highly recommend that you import this instructional CD into iTunes on your comupter that way you can view each area of instruction on your screen and practice only the areas you want to by clicking the mouse. If your interested in learning more of Pauls masterful blues licks, I can't say enough about the CD The Paul Butterfield Blues Band LIVE (recorded in March 21-22 1970 at the Troubadour in Los Angeles). It some of Pauls greatest harp playing to practice too. You can't go wrong by buying any of The Paul Butterfield Bules Bands CDs to practice to here on desertcart.com A great selection of hard to find blues harp master CDs. Review: Poignant portrait of a master - Each time you hear Paul Butterfield say "Hi, my name is Paul Butterfield and I'd like to share a few insights on the harmonica if I could..." in his somewhat crackly worn voice, you'll be filled with a premonition that he's about to leave us. And it's sad to know that he only had a few years left when he made this recording with Happy Straum. But you can't help but love the recording, though I guess I'd almost prefer to have bought it alone without the mediocre, error-riddled book that accompanies it. Here's what the recording has to offer. 1. A conversation between Paul Butterfield and the listener that almost makes you feel like he and Happy are with you. Paul's language is different/better than plain old English. He says stuff like, "Happy and I are going to do a little guitar/harmonica thing." 2. Funny moments like when he says that he's playing a Marine Band harmonica with wooden stops and little metal reeds, and you can hear Happy laugh in the background. And another after he's done playing a tune with Happy and he exclaims, "Well, that was fun!" 3. Performance quality songs, with Happy playing guitar, that are so raw you'll tingle when you hear them. Of the 76 or so tracks on the CD, about 10 are full-on recordings of 12-bar blues songs, and each one of them is a gem. You'll be surprised when you hear Paul Butterfield sing too. Though his voice is somewhat tired, it is quintessentially bluesy and gritty. You won't want the songs to end. The material itself is incredibly advanced. Even the first simple riff he introduces, upon which you are supposed to build and advance, has several nearly impossible-to-reproduce pre-bends and bends. Just a few pages later, the material is so dense that each page will take you weeks to get through. If you're a beginner, don't even think about learning anything from this material. This is a course solely for experts. But you might still consider getting the recording just so that you can hear Paul and Happy. It generates some of the same ruminations as The Last Waltz: These are extraordinary people from an era in our history when people dared to be different, creative, and free, and they will never come again. ## Features - 56 Pages - Softcover with CD - Author: Paul Butterfield ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,378,235 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #97 in Harmonicas #316 in Blues Music (Books) #5,721 in Music Instruction & Study (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 68 Reviews | ## Images ![Paul Butterfield - Blues Harmonica Master Class Songbook with Online Audio | Blues Harmonica Instruction Method | Online Audio with Playback+ Player | Techniques Note Bending Tongue Blocking Tremolo - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yQj-JESyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pauls Butterfeilds basics a good start. *by J***. on January 12, 2011* I've played blues harp since I was 16 years old.

I'd been playing in rock bands since elementary school (vocals and keyboards). Being from R.I. I'd been exposed to folk blues from the Newport fests, but I'd never heard anything like "Butter". He played with a passion and fury missing on the scene. While this tape doesn't have the intensity of his early work, it's a glimspe into his head. I've messed with harp for a number of years and recently started to get more serious. This is not for a begineer or someone who looking for traditional teaching. As he put it "these notes are there, you just have to find them". It's more like sitting next to someone who's been there, listen, try it, let him rub off on you. I would recommend this to anyone who has been working on harp and needs a fresh prespective. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/4198922-paul-butterfield-blues-harmonica-master-class-songbook-with-online-audio](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/4198922-paul-butterfield-blues-harmonica-master-class-songbook-with-online-audio) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
