Review
9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Good book. Very reccomendable.By Alejandro J CeppiLots of very thorough reviews have already been written for this book. I mostly agree with everything already said in those in which four or five stars were given to this book. There is not much then that I could add. This is in my opinion a very good. comprehensive. enjoyable and useful book for those who like me would like to learn to play the Blues with a harmonica.The kindle version does not come with a CD. but I managed to download the audio examples from http://wiley.mpstechnologies.com/wiley/BOBContent/searchLPBobContent.do (I just had to type ldquo;blues harmonicardquo; in the search box for book titles and a downloadable zip file with the mp3 examples was made available for me).Apart from this one. I bought other several books (in kindle format and printed as well) that attempt to teach how to play a harmonica from the basics. This one is becoming to be one of my favourite and I am finding it to be most useful so therefore. I do dare to recommend it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent. focused guide to learning Blues harmonica. excellent reference source too.By MiketheBikeI bought this after taking a copy out from my local library. I wanted my own copy because it is a seriously good reference source as well as an excellent tool for actually learning to play Blues harmonica. I like that it is entirely focused on Blues harmonica (I dont want or need to learn how to play "Oh. Susana"!). The author really knows his stuff as a teacher and is extremely good at explaining how to do. as well as what to do. There is now a massive amount of you tube video on the subject of how to play Blues on harmonica. some of it excellent (I like Adam Gussows Modern Blues Harmonica videos. many good ones free on you tube) and some of it not so good. This book keeps me on course to learn Blues harmonica. The audio disc is great because I can pop it into the player in my car. listen and "groove in" the lessons to my memory.By the way. if you want to play well. you do have to play a LOT! One primary "secret" to learning harmonica is that it takes plenty of practice to groove in the muscle-memory you need to fluidly play the riffs and licks that make up harmonica blues. The good news is that its FUN!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Blues R Me!!By Uncle KimoOn the way to getting a more bluesy feel to my play. Just gotta sit down and do the time!
