À propos de cet ebook

This book/audio/video set is a complete guide to playing the 10-hole diatonic harmonica. Its purpose is to help the beginning student avoid the trial and error method of playing the harmonica through step by step technical instruction and an extensive, graded repertoire. Rather than overwhelming the student with the "all at once" approach, fundamentals of note reading are gradually introduced throughout the book's 100-plus pages. This method progresses from very simple melodies and exercises to concepts as complex as inserting harmonica chords within a melody. Guitar chords are provided for most of the well-known tunes in the book. Online video is 30 minutes. Includes access to online audio & video.
