3.0 out of 5 stars Not great for blues, ok for folk tunes, April 21, 2003

Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (COMMUNITY FORUM 04) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Pocket Harmonica Songbook (Paperback)

If you want to grab your harp and blast a few blues riffs with the guys on guitar, this is not the book for you. This is a slim volume, meant to go in your pocket along camping trips or get-togethers if you don't play by ear. It has folk tunes everyone knows, like Tom Dooley and other straight-harp favorites.

There is a nod to blues playing by explaining the 12-bar blues, but really, this is a small straight harp cheat-book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for the money, February 22, 2001

"therealdeal87" (NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Pocket Harmonica Songbook (Paperback)

The songs in this book are mostly in 1st position-so if you are looking for great blues lick-this is probably the wrong place to look. However this isn't a bad compilation of popular songs aranged for the harmonica

4.0 out of 5 stars ok for amusing yourself with simple tunes, July 13, 2006

TC George (Temple City, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Pocket Harmonica Songbook (Paperback)

first, click on the book image here to 'see inside' and look at the table of contents to know what tunes are inside. most are folk or popular tunes; for just straight playing simple tunes this book is ok, esp for the price; david harp has a good , easy method/tablature for reading and playing the music, so dont worry about that. i only wished there were some better songs in it.

the notes in the "Amazing Grace" are just wrong. They try to keep all the songs simple and end up substituting notes that just have no correct simple substitution.
