Song Books

Song books vs. Tab books- Similar, but not the same. Song books through music and/or easy harmonica notation, give you the notes for the melody of a given song. Tabs books may have also have the melody, but usually, just have the notes for the specific harmonica parts and solos in a particular recorded song. For instance, a Bob Dylan songbook has the melody to a song like "Blowing In The Wind", but the tab book would show the harmonica parts that were played on the original recording.

Bob Dylan for Harmonica- "Thirty all-time great songs by Bob Dylan arranged for harmonica. As you go through the book, the music is progressively more challenging." Our thoughts: You should note that this book only has the melodies to his songs and does not include the tab for his solos and harmonica parts. See below for a Dylan tab book.
