How to Play the Pocket Harmonica

I needed to brushup on my harmonica, so I purchased this book. It's simple, fun, and it works. Good purchase.

Great value for a used book. It could of included more songs. Some useful info.

Gave as a present to my grandson. He loved it.

Great

Keep looking. One of the best things about this book are the pictures of some of the best blues harmonica players. There are a few tunes, but you would be better off with a song book like Instant Harmonica or the like which has much easier tablature to follow; I did not at all find this a good book for beginners- in terms of difficulty it goes from 0 to 60 in ten pages. Pretty soon you find yourself staring at sheet music learning quarter, half and full notes and tryng to figure it all out with timing! The bending section I din't find of much use either. It is a well made book, though, and provided a few interesting terms and definitions.

Like it alright

Another Christmas gift.

Book was great,

As an absolute beginner to harmonica this was a good place to start. It is a little old for example the list of suggested harmonicas have a rough price next to them in $ and I really wish they were those prices nowadays! Oh also it only suggests Hohner harmonicas.Anyway this is clear and simple to follow with pictures and simple explanations however I found the music presented on the treble cleft further on in the book a little daunting until you realise the harmonica tab is underneath (it does teach you about the notation, but I was flicking through). I really like the chart on the back where it shows you what notes are what on a C harmonica (which is the recommended key for beginners). All in all a decent purchase for a reasonable price however I'm thinking of getting something a little more detailed.

This book is great to get you started and includes all the basics. I bought my first harmonica and suprisingly (for a well known brand) it did not come with any instructions, however this book made things a lot clearer and within minutes allowed me to start playing the instrument with much more purpose. It is few years old (it qoutes instrument prices which are a bit out of date) and is a somewhat awkward shape (long and narrow) - but this does not detract from the contents - which is perfect for a beginner.

I have recently taken to the harmonica and this is an excellent and very affordable book explaining the basics and getting you started on simple tunes through to quite advanced rhythms and riffs. I learned a fair bit not only on how to play the harp but also the why and the ways - Blues, Country, Rock etc.Only draw back was thought the book does not exactly fit in the pocket - way to long, so unkike the harmonica it is used only at home.

Thought I was just buying a booklet at first was suprised to also see an harmonica with it.I now have 2 harmonicas.lolExcellent and quick delivery neatly packed.

Good little book .would use it more if the dog did not attack me every time i picked up my harmonica.(dog owners beware )
