First 50 Songs You Should Play On Harmonica

Another great book

I am really impressed with the comprehensive list of tunes to suit a wide range of tastes. Useful guidance that is easy to understand. An excellent product, sturdily packaged, delivered within the stated time. As always, I am a very satisfied customer. Thank you

This song book not only gives a good variety of tunes , it also aids the player to read music whilst playing.

good

Easy to follow

Yes, there are bass-lines here for a lot of well-known songs, but only if you already know the songs well. The absence of any information about the songs' melodies leaves all the songs you don't know in a no-go area. Venturing onto YouTube or a streaming service just to find out how the songs go sounds too much like hard work. And it's in tablature. Now I know lots of Renaissance lute music was in tablature, and I thought I'd manage a book written in it for once, and tablature can sometimes give useful hints about the position to take to play a phrase, though not always supplying the best one, but tablature only gives a physical indication about what one musical instrument is doing, not the music itself, so remains a real struggle for many music readers.

The book title says it all. A good way to boost your basic repertoire and give you a bit of confidence that you've made some progress when just starting out. The tablature is simple and easy to follow using a diatonic harmonica in the key of C. Ability to bend notes is not required. I could only find one tune with some bends in it. If you can play single notes and move up and down the scales it is relatively easy to play something recognisable from this book. I bought this in conjunction with Blues Harp From Scratch, which provides some very good exercises for practicing isolating single notes and moving around the harp.

A good book but could be much better with a CD to accompany it... from a beginners point of view.

A good selection of bass tab for songs ranging from easy to more difficult. The songs span several eras and genres. The renditions have been written to make the songs easier to play in some cases. Highly recommended for beginners just to get learning to play songs.

Great songs but all in key of C. As I have 7 harmonicas in 7 keys I was a little disappointed. Peter.

No bending, no crazy overblowing, good quality songs, simple nice lovely melodies. A real boost for a tired spirit who wants to puff out a few songs

I found this book to be very useful, as a fairly newbie bass player it covers a good variety of music it also tells you what Key you are playing in which helps to understand that side of playing, and it also tells you the tuning for the Bass if it is different from standard tuning which helps you achieve the sound of the original recording, all round a very good book.

Good songs
