Three Minutes to Blues, Rock, and Folk Harmonica

By David Harp

Book Overview

With its portability, simplicity, and expressiveness, the harmonica is the ideal instrument for the contemporary wannabe musician. But how to avoid simply squawking and create those pleasing sounds that make the harmonica such a distinctive presence in a wide range of musical genres? David Harp, known as the Harmonica Guru, has the answer. In less than 100 pages, and with the help of a 74-minute CD, the author shows players of all skill levels how to wow themselves and their friends with folk songs like Amazing Grace, cool blues solos, hot rock riffs, or a mournful country-and-western tune -- all with the authority of a pro. This third edition of the bestseller has been revised and updated with more information and more songs. Each lesson in the book is demonstrated on the CD.

Customer Reviews

You really can learn to play in a short time

I am 63 years old. I have spent a fortune on books that are suppose to teach you to play Harmonica. None worked. I ordered this book and cd but I still didnt think it would work. I listened to the cd and it takes you from simple harmonica to learning Blues riffs. It has play along music which David tells you what to do. I learned from listening and playing. I can play along with any blues, folk, and country music. I am amazed at how fast I could do this.It took me an hour to learn. I'm not kidding. This is the best book and cd I have ever seen. I can now play and am so happy. The KEY is the cd. Try this book if you really want to learn to play in a short time. The other secret is to practice as much as you can. I can now play harmonica.
