Country & Blues Harmonica for the Musically Hopeless: Revised Book and 73-Minute CD

Looks like a fairly comprehensive introduction to harmonica playing! Not sure that the "musically hopeless" would understand it all however! I suppose if one takes one's time and thoroughly gets to grips with each section all will be explained! I know there is no real way to learn any insturment except by working at it bit the cover of this book makes it seem as if it will be a doddle using this method when in fact some amount of effort will of course be required!!! The humour of the cover is belied a bit by the contents but it is a worth while acquisition for those trying harmonica for the first time [I hope!!] Bought this as a gift so time will tell if the recipient cracks it or not!!

Jon is a gifted musician and storyteller with a natural charm so his books are always a pleasure - this is my third. I struggled with the harp for many years and had pretty much lost interest until I came across Jon's books here on Amazon by chance. Each book and CD package is well thought out, simple without being overly so as well as being incredibly engrossing - I can while away many hours with the CD headphones in my ears and my harp in my mouth. With any of these packages, you inevitably progress at your own pace but Jon makes it really fun to learn.

I am happy enough with this book. I am at a really early stage of learning to play the blues harp and this is one of three books with which I am seeking to make progress.

Did not live up to what was expected

Good fun, although I'm not giving it enough attention.

Very pleased
