Harmonica Primer Book for Beginners with Video and Audio Access

I LOVED THIS LITTLE BOOK SO HARD WHEN IT ARRIVED, BUT ALAS, AIN'T NO MUSIC SKILLS IN THIS BODY. BUT NOTICE, IT'S NOT IN THE MISSOURI LANDFILL, I STILL LOVE IT AND IT'S GETTING A SECOND CHANCE ON MY SHELF FOR THE MOMENT.

The book describes in detail every aspect of playing the harmonica for beginners. It explains how to maintain it (easy) and how to play several songs within minutes. It explains how to hold the harmonica, draw, blow, and how to control double stops. Great book and I highly recommend it for beginners.

It was delivered a little rough, but otherwise a nice resource. I don't want to share a video of me playing yet, it's just the beginning, haha.

husband loves it

Quality product for a new hobby!

It was a little hard for me to understand. Figured out some on my own. Just a small section for beginners and the rest is pretty much for more advanced. Meh.

.perfect for a beginner

Good buy

As a complete newcomer to harmonica playing, albeit with a little guitar knowledge, the choice of instructional books here & elsewhere was quite overwhelming. I settled on this title mainly going by the amount of reviews it had received & how many of those were four/five stars. Of course this can often be misleading if you find the style is not for you, but on this occasion I find I've made the right choice. Focussing on the 10 hole diatonic harmonica in the key of C, the book gets straight on with job, with a brief introduction to the book & how to use it; table of contents; harmonica notation & helpful advice on selecting & caring for your harmonica. There are no lengthy details on the history of the instrument, or unnecessary biographies of notable players as you can often find in this type of book, which doubtless have their interest factor, but are often used to pad the book out & don't add anything to learning the nuts & bolts of playing. There are over 20 simple songs to learn, all with standard notation & tablature. The songs are traditional classics, eg. Amazing Grace, Tom Dooley, Oh When The Saints etc, and being an American publication tend to have a bias towards that country's style. Some titles were quite unfamiliar to me here in the UK, but others such as Silent Night & Jingle Bells will have universal appeal. The icing on the cake is the free access to over an hour of video instruction & song tutorials with author Tom Wolf, who is a likeable & easy to follow teacher. I'm very pleased I chose this book.

Es una edición en inglés de un libro muy bueno para aprender a tocar la armónica y debo decir que por igual si te gusta aprender idiomas ya son dos en uno porque precisamente es excelente para esto y saber lo que te están diciendo en otro idioma sobre la teoría musical en nivel principiante y lo que deberías saber al respecto sobre la escala, entre otras cosas. Además, considero que es un excelente libro con material de apoyo en línea con el maestro Tom Wolf

Good combination of text and internet guidance.

My nephew is taking advantage of it. Great guide

Useless, not helpful
