Basic Harmonica Method (book/CD)

Mel Bay Publications
Level : Beginning-Intermediate

This book is meant to give you a jump-start in playing blues harmonica. You will find there are both easy and difficult techniques on the harmonica. More commonplace blues harmonica techniques are avoided here.
A 10-hole D harmonica is required to begin this book, but a Lee Oskar natural minor harmonica in the key of A minor is also recommended.

All tunes and exercises in this book are written in standard notation with harmonica blow/draw indications.
Although this is not a beginner's book, the enclosed CD recording provides an additional assist to players at all level.
