Book Description

January 1, 1995
Developed especially for seniors, children, and everyone who loves the magic of the old time songs.

Pull up a chair, pull out a harpoon and let's make some music, 'cause ol' Doc Gindick is going to teach you to beautifully play the American classics.

Here's a 176 page book and two beautifully mastered CD's created by the fictional "Doc" Gindick who travels the Old West selling harmonicas for a nickle and teaching folks to play em.

Filled with harmonica lore and legend --this vividly illustrated book presents detailed instruction and expertise on playing technique, song notation and lyrics, guitar chords, harmonica history back to the 1840's, biographies of the composers, from Foster to Brahams--plus a section on blues and train music.

Total beginners get hooked on this book--and never look back!

The two CD's are each over an hour long. Volume I gives you a slow, easy lesson on the techniques, walks you slowly through each song.

On Volume II, Jon Gindick professionally plays each song on guitar, voice and harmonica. Listening and playing along is an experience you and your family will enjoy again and again.

The book notates, illustrates and describes the notes and the techniques that can make them sound beautiful to the ear. The CDs let you hear what it it you are trying to play, and give you easy jam along music for examples and your play-along pleasure.

A WORD ABOUT HARMONICA INCLUDED edition: This is a good quality Hohner diatonic Bluesmaster in the key of C.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, September 28, 2000

Gindick's approach to learning the harmonica is straight forward. Learn a few essential musical concepts and start playing NOW. This book provides good tunes to play. They range from basic to slightly harder...but there is nothing in the book that a dedicated beginner can't play with a little practice. Clear instruction....and having a CD to hear how the song should sound...is invaluable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Having the time of my life, May 29, 2003

This review is from: Harmonica Americana Deluxe Two CD Edition (Paperback)
I bought my first harminca and The book Harmonica Americana about a year and a half ago,then 6 months ago, I finally got around to ordering the two cd's that go with the book. What a difference the cds made for me! My ability jumped by leaps and bounds after that. Just to be able to hear what the songs really should sound like made all the difference in the world. What a thrill it is to me to be able to make GOOD music anytime at all. I tape my practising and when I replay it and then can't tell my harp playing from his, sometimes, I just think -wow! I am in the early stages of bending and thanks to his lessons, am extremely grateful that I really can bend notes! Just need to perfect this skill. I am a 55 year old grandmother of 13, so if I can, you can too.

This review is from: Harmonica Americana Deluxe Two CD Edition (Paperback)
I have a collection of books on how to play the harmonica that I have accumulated over the past year. Non of them did anything to get me motivated to play, until I found Harmonica Americana. I now play every day for at least an hour. I work 14 hour days, but somehow I find the time to play. The CDs, that come with the book are fun and Jon speaks directly to me, rather than the impersonal "instructional" CDs I've purchased with other books. It's like having your own personal teacher available at any time. I highly recommend this book.
