Clear and Straight
forward...
"I'd just like to say
that your instruction is fantastic, and explains the
harmonica in such a clear and straight forward way that
it makes learning a pleasure. Thanks!"

Ideal for any beginning
harmonica player...
"This large-format paperback is
ideal for any beginning
harmonica player because Dave Gage is a master of
blending theory and practice in just the right proportions
. He also knows that "keep it simple" is not enough
unless wedded to "make it fun." That Gage can do both
things without talking down to his instrument or his
audience is a marvel in itself.
The song tabs in the book are easy to read, and the
conversational writing style relies heavily on bulleted
lists to good effect. Crisp black and white photographs
are used intelligently throughout.
Basic harmonica instruction can be found in many places,
but I know of no other book or pamphlet that offers that
in an attractive package together with jamming tips and
shortcuts, observations on the difference between
practicing and playing, lesson plans on a six-week cycle,
and more."
