INTRODUCTION
I was first introduced to the captivating sounds of Sonny Terry by my first teacher,
Paul Lamb, who told me ‘you can learn all you need to know from Sonny’, and Paul
should know - he studied nothing but Sonny’s style for twelve years and became well
known performing in folk clubs in the UK. Eventually he was able to meet Sonny and
play with him on stage – I wish I’d been there!
I got hooked in the 1990s and have loved Sonny’s style ever since. I bought Tom
Ball’s excellent book ‘Sonny Terry Licks’ and learnt more about the way Sonny plays
and also got most of his recordings to try to decipher them.
So this CD/book is an attempt to explore small sections of Sonny Terry’s playing.
We have simplified it where possible to make it easier for you to pick up and have
played it at three different speeds with a drum track to quantify the rhythms and
notate them with some accuracy.
Some would argue against this method but I think it works and helps to understand
what he’s doing. We’ve tried to get the ‘feel’ of Sonny’s playing across rather than
the exact details.
However I would recommend you also go back to the original recordings, and,
having studied this book, you should be able to work out some of his playing on
your own – by then your ear will be in tune and you should be able to hear what he’s
doing much more clearly.
If you pan right on the recording the drums disappear and you can hear the
harmonica more clearly. We think Sonny is all about the groove so keep that in
mind and try both ways – with and without the drum track.
You will find four playalong tracks at the end of this album, each in the key of the
riffs as they appear in the book. In E for the A harmonica, in D for the G harmonica,
in F for the Bb harmonica and in G for the C harmonica. These are for you to try
out any of the riffs with a rhythm section.
6
ARTICULATIONS
The words that you see above the notes (starting at riff 4) are an attempt to
indicate what my mouth is doing at that time. I’m sure Sonny wouldn’t have thought
of it in these terms but it seems to work well for learning about this style. You can
practise it by whispering these words loudly into your harmonica. If your ears hear
other words from those we’ve written do feel free to alter them to suit your learning.
WHOOPING
The words that describe my awful ‘singing’, or as Sonny described it – ‘Whooping’
start at riff 14. They are fairly interchangeable and inconsistent; just make it up as
you wish!
Much care and effort has gone into producing this CD/book and the reward we are
after is that you enjoy working with it, and that it helps you become an even better
player.
My buddy Joe Filisko has gone into Sonny Terry’s style (plus lots of others) much
deeper than we have here. He notates throat and hand tremolo, vertical tongue
flutters, tongue shakes, tongue slaps, hand pops, hands open/closed, head shakes,
rolling R’s, clean/dirty notes, his whooping, the articulations and more…so get in
touch with Joe if you want to get deeply immersed in the styles of the early harp
players. Go to www.filisko.com

ABOUT SONNY TERRY

So much has been written about the man that I will be brief here. An internet search
will have you reading for a month and a half. I would recommend Kent Cooper and
Fred Palmer’s book ‘The Harp Styles of Sonny Terry’ (Oak publications) – the thing I
particularly like is the autobiographical part; if you want to research Sonny, how
better than to listen to the man himself, in his own words.
Sonny was born at a very young age to musical parents in 1911. His father, Rueben,
played harmonica – jigs and reels – and his mother, Mossiline, was a singer.
He would have sung at Baptist revival tent meetings and taught himself to play harp
as a child. Two farming accidents robbed him of his sight during his teen years and
he became more dependent on music to make a living. “In them days I just as soon
died - except for my harmonica. It was like a friend who didn’t give a damn if I
could see or not,” he said.
Sonny played on the street, busking for money, playing local buck dances where he
was ‘the band’. This must be where his relentless rhythms and gapless phrases
originate – leaving a legacy of hard study for us!
He played tobacco warehouses, fish fries, house parties, medicine shows around
Greensboro, North Carolina sometimes solo, and sometimes with partners such as
Blind Boy Fuller and later Brownie McGhee.
In 1938 Sonny was invited to play at Carnegie Hall for the first ‘From Spirituals to
Swing’ concert, and later that year he recorded for the Library of Congress. In 1940
Terry recorded his first commercial sides. Some of his most famous works include
“Old Jabo” a song about a man bitten by a snake and “Lost John” in this he
demonstrates his amazing breath control combined with whooping and fast rhythms.
When Jane Dudley set “Harmonica Breakdown” to Sonny’s harmonica, accompanied
on the washboard, in 1938, it was seen originally as a solo of despair in the Dust
Bowl era. She later described the repeated shuffle she performed in this solo as
“the effort that just living might seem to mean to black people.” Revived in recent
years to the acclaim of modern-dance troupes in the United States and Europe, the
solo now appears vivid but more universal.
8
In 1941 Blind Boy Fuller died and Sonny and Brownie McGhee moved to New York a
year later at the invitation of the folk group the Almanac Singers. In New York the
duo was embraced by the folk music scene that included Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie,
Pete Seeger, John and Alan Lomax and others. Together they began performing and
recording regularly. Sonny also had a part in the 1946 Broadway production of
Finian’s Rainbow, which ran for over 1000 performances. Sonny was apparently
paid $600 a week for his part – that’s worth over $6,000 in 2009. How times
change; you wouldn’t get that much now!
Sonny Terry’s song “Fox Chase” was used by the experimental filmmaker Len Lye as
the soundtrack for his short film Color Cry (1952). “Old Lost John” was used by
Werner Herzog at the conclusion of his 1977 feature film Stroszek, and he also
appeared in The Color Purple. More recently Sonny’s track “Whoopin’ The Blues”
was used for an EON Wind Farm commercial, although it is incorrectly rumoured to
have been played by Ben Hewlett!
Sonny worked with many people but toured the world with Brownie McGhee, his
long-term musical partner, going as far as New Zealand where the soon-to-become-
my-second-teacher Brendan Power saw them. Sonny’s style drew him to the
harmonica and it’s provided a busy life for him ever since.
The recordings and performing came to an end in the 1980s and Sonny came to his
end in 1986, the same year he was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, just
around the time I myself started playing the harmonica with a passion!

Joe Filisko
Sonny Terry was without question, one of the most well known of all blues
harmonica players. Sonny's stinging and popping sound, acrobatic use of
hands, rhythmic groove and pyrotechnic display of whooping, made him in my
opinion, the most unforgettable of ALL harmonica players! Knowing the effect it
had on a live audience leaves little doubt as to why he was in demand his whole
life and why almost everyone will remember his name before Brownie's.
If understanding and experiencing some of this magic is of interest to you, then

there is great news! Ben has taken numerous essential Sonny Terry licks and
broken them down at three different speeds for you to access and learn as
simply and painlessly as possible.
If you follow him, Ben will put you on the fast track to the summit of the musical
mountain of Sonny Terry. This is indeed a journey that all harmonica players
should experience.

Yes great stuff! Ben has dug deep into Terry's sound.

OUTRO
I hope you’ve enjoyed the challenge of getting to grips with Sonny’s style, and I’ve
got to tell you it’s been great fun doing the research and trying to learn his licks for
me as well!
So that’s it for now – I’m off to start another Sonny Terry riffs book. Actually we did
ten riffs too many for this project so we thought we should use those riffs and our
momentum for this style to just crack on and do another book. Meeting Joe Filisko
again has also spurred us on; when you see somebody like him performing the
styles of all the old guys and bringing them to life it seems even more important
that we keep on spreading the word!

Ben Hewlett became a musician at the age of ten in 1969 learning the
trumpet. He went through the school system of exams and performances,
finally escaping the mandatory classical repertoire with the discovery of
Louis Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie. He was a minor third addict at
fourteen and still has a passion for jazz and blues. Godfather Dennis
Corble gave Ben a harmonica at the age of 7 thus unknowingly sowing
the seeds of a lifelong love of this instrument!
Paul is a composer/arranger, multi-instrumentalist and teacher. He is a
