4Thorough Guide to the Harmonica  Sep 30, 2008
The Complete Idiot's Guide is a very thorough manual to learning the harmonica, including music theory, history, and physiology. For those analytical minds who love to know EVERYTHING about a subject, this is your book. It's well written and educational. From what I can tell, it covers every possible aspect of learning to play the harmonica, including how to read music, advanced techniques of play (such as bending), how to translate written music to a harmonica, and how to incorporate harmonica into a band or group.

However, if you're a beginner ready to pick up a harmonica and a book to play today, I recommend David Harp's Instant Blues Harmonica. Pop that CD in, and you'll be playing in minutes. Literally! It quickly and easily teaches you the basics of harmonica improvisation.

5Idiot's Guide for an Idiot.  May 08, 2008
I have a keen interest in music but have no training. I bought the "Idiot's Guide..." hoping to gain some insight into harmonica playing. I was entirely pleased. The authors assume that the reader is intelligent but ignorant of the subject. This book was meant for people like me.
