This guys technique is amazing and if you like Bluegass or oldtime music at all, this book, along with the indispensible Rock n' Blues Harmonica by Jon Gindick and the Blues Harmonica Collection (both top amazon sellers) will definitly improve your technique as well as your way of looking at the diatonic harmonica. That is, much of the technique and approach here is to play the diatonic harp chromatically, using bends of course.As the cover states, this book goes from beginning to advanced and it's not one of those books you check out for a day or two and put away. If your interested in really learning how to play harmonica there's alot of technique and great tunes in this book and cd. Don't be put off if you're not really into bluegrass.It is more country oriented than most harp books to be sure but alot of the tunes in here are traditional and originals by Stevens.The techniques however are incredible and learning what this guy has to teach will vastly improve your playing even if you only want to play blues harp. I can't help but have the same thought as the other reviewer that this guy not only wrote a great instruction book but is one of the best harp players in the world.Click Here to see more reviews about: Bluegrass Harmonica [Paperback]
