The C Harmonica Book is the most complete and all-inclusive harmonica informatiion book on the market today.Most of the information in this 48-page book is omitted or ignored in other harmonica books.This is a reference book; it is not an instructional book. It does not have exercises or classic blues riffs but it does explain the various techniques and does show you how to execute them.It shows the notes, scales, modes, positions, chords, arpeggios, bends (bent notes), overbends (sometimes called overblows/overdraws), blues basics, a smattering of theory and the layouts of various diatonic models. It also has a full-page glossary explaining all these harmonica and music terms, which is rare in a harmonica book.The C Harmonica Book is one of a series of 12 books (one for each harmonica key). At only $7.95, buying the whole set is less than $100.If you play another instrument and read music and understand a little theory, you can figure out the harmonica in a matter of hours. If you've been playing harmonica for some time, this book may put everything in perspective. If you've always wanted to pick up the harmonica but didn't know where to start, this book will give all the information you need, when you need it in a graphically clear way with drawings of the harmonica note layout, in addition to tablature.This book is an absolute must for all harmonica players. Even if you know all of this information, it provides a quick reference handbook. The C Harmonica Book is also useful in understanding other harmonica books, those that falsely assume the reader already has a background on the harmonica and understand everything.
A really musician's book, whist also being user-friendly. It does not come with a CD or DVD, but it so detailed that it does not need either. All diagrams are brilliant and easy to adhere to and understand why. It is a smallish book, but crams it all in, and a big THANK YOU for this particular product he has lovingly lavished upon us.The front cover says it all. I consider this book just that tiny little bit advanced in a nice user-friendly sort of way, but once I've finished the first two me-in-a-nappy syndrome of mind problems which are now beginning to go away, I'll be upon (C Harmonica Book(Complete 10-Hole Diatonic Harmonica) like a ravening wolf! And fully be a musician and understand what to do completely. A professional Musician. Just facing The Immortal Abba Most High when it is my time to go "home", I hope now more than Eve. As my Faith, understanding, religion and spirituality abound from day to day, I sense my friends, right before starting to make a 'jester', eager for my friend and muse form 1988, could just laugh at me - just an idiot (Which I was) and a bit of a nitwit! That was all I was in my 'poems', the space-time thing I based on me and my 'poems' later to make it seem like it was like just more bookish (Which It would have been if I had thought it up BEFORE the 'POEMS'. It did not!
