I have a chromatic that I am playing around with. A whole different ball game. I have heard some good blues and jazz played on a chromatic (my father played one) but I am not there yet. It takes a whole different approach to playing than what comes natural to me on a diatonic. Still fun to play with. I figure some of the minor blues or jazzier blues changes might be easier to negotiate on a chromatic.
Anyone else play one of these?

Tue, July 26, 2005 - 9:08 PMI love the chromatic...I have a cx12 on order...had a huang but it broke . The chromatic forces you out of your pentatonic box/rut that all harp and guitar players suffer from...listen to charlie mussel white and norton buffalo to name a few...great use of the chromatic ......you can play the same blues but you slide the note instead of bending it on an average ...no more bending to hit a major scale
