Masters of the Blues Harp: Note-for-Note Transcriptions from Classic Recorded Performances (Harmonica) [Paperback] Review

This is a difficult book.These transcriptions are accurate and well-done, but they are demanding.They are not easy to play; after all, these ARE some of the greatest harp songs of all time.You've got Sonny Boy(II), Slim Harpo, Little Walter, Paul Butterfield, etc.

The notation is clear and easy to understand.The song selection is pretty good.

One thing, and this is minor - the book does not come with a CD.I had to put together a CD to match the book.If someone does not have a good collection, that could prove slightly difficult.Most of the selections are pretty well known, so that shouldn't prove too difficult.
