5Im impressed!  Jan 11, 2002 By J. Earl "Kindle Lover"
I wasn't expecting much for only $5.95. However, I was blown away at the quality of just the CD alone. It contains 27 songs with soft acoustic guitar accompaniment to Phil's clear harmonica playing. He does not blow you away by showing off his harmonica skills. It is a pleasant CD to just listen to if you like the sound of the harmonica. It is easy to pick up your own chromatic harmonica in the key of C and play along with him. Each song is repeated three times so it gives you a good chance to practice the song. By the end of the third time through you are getting the hang of it.

I would have paid $15 just to get the CD. The book includes all 27 songs with the harmonica tabs. This is a great package for anyone wanting to move up to the chromatic harmonica.

5Great Value!  Dec 03, 2000
This is an excellent and affordable introduction to the chromatic harmonica for all players, whether on a tight budget or not. The book offers a nice overview of music theory in general while presenting the fundamentals of harmonica technique in a clear and practical manner. Inclusion of a CD makes the package a truly remarkable deal and speeds up the learning curve tremendously. Of course, there are books that go into greater depth, but this is a winner for beginning players.

4decent intro to chromatic harmonica  Sep 09, 2005 By De Paoli Andrea
There are not many books for chromatic harmonica so I was pleased to find this intro. It covers music notation and has well paced exercises even for those who already know how to read music. I did not give it 5 stars because I think it could have benefitted from having more well known tunes to practice besides the music drills. I am sorry I did not know there was the possibility of purchasing the version with a CD.

4A very good starter book for beginers to Chromatic style.  Mar 15, 2012 By Dano
I really did like Phil Duncan's book and his basic teaching on playing the Chromatic. Most of the book is just play along and read the music. I found the CD and accompanyment with the guitar made for a very enjoyable lesson. I plan on getting more of his books and CD's.
