5.0 out of 5 stars After three weeks I can bend one note., February 17, 2003
By A Customer
I was a total absolute beginner when I met this book. After three weeks of practice following this book, I can draw-bend one note. I am still improving. This book is concise but very helpful for broad range of harpists from beginners to semi-professional. I am grateful for David Harp for this wonderful text.

4.0 out of 5 stars The book that learns you how to bend, November 8, 1997
By V. A. Mulder (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are a beginning blues harp player, this is the book that you must have to learn how to bend. My bending has improved very much after reading and practising this book. Also a friend of mine uses the book and his bending is improving too.
