this book was written for people like me, old and slow to learn, it was written to be easily read and understood
This is not the first book I bought and read about harmonica playing. This one is a bit basic but I suppose, because of what it offers, that it might be good enough for an absolute beginner. I think this book is worth it for anybody trying to get started. Among other useful stuff from which a beginner can profit, it teaches a bit on how to read a one stave music score and uses the harmonica tablature system which, from all being around, I personally find to be (for me) the easiest to follow when trying to play while simultaneously reading a music score. The music scores in the book (many of which are the same given in other books) are quite simple, but enjoyable enough. I think that the subject on cross harp technique could have been explained a bit more thoroughly (it is not explained at all why is it that for technical reasons it works so well, for example, for the Blues). For those who decide to buy this book and later on would want to dive deeper in the subject, I would recommend Harmonica for Dummies which, in spite of its name, is much more comprehensive. In my attempt to learn to play Blues with an harmonica I am finding very useful and enjoyable Blues Harmonica for Dummies, Blues & Rock Harmonica by Glenn Weiser (which is not being sold in Kindle format) and Blues Harmonica Blueprint by Annie Raines.
Very basic but very clear and easy to understand. Excellent for it's intended audience. Would recommend this for any beginners
It is an OK book for learning how to play a Harmonica. Being new to playing a harmonica I was looking for maybe something with more details. Found free video’s in the internet that have shown me more.
Nice narrative, explanation of notes added to blow/draw charts/tablature. Detailed explanations of bending and breathing. Usual set of songs, with nice intro to riffs. If it only had sound files, too.
Its an okay item for very basic beginners, but doesn't go very far.
Great and useful book!
Great book. I was an absolute beginner and it had me making sounds of music in less then an hour.
