Harmonica Americana: Learn to Play America's 30 Greatest Songs
- Book Review,
by John Gindick
Book Description
Developed especially for seniors, children, and everyone who loves the magic of the old time songs. Pull up a chair, pull out a harpoon and let's make some music, 'cause ol' Doc Gindick is going to teach you to beautifully play the American classics. Here's a 176 page book and two beautifully mastered CD's created by the fictional "Doc" Gindick who travels the Old West selling harmonicas for a nickle and teaching folks to play em. Filled with harmonica lore and legend --this vividly illustrated book presents detailed instruction and expertise on playing technique, song notation and lyrics, guitar chords, harmonica history back to the 1840's, biographies of the composers, from Foster to Brahams--plus a section on blues and train music. Total beginners get hooked on this book--and never look back! The two CD's are each over an hour long. Volume I gives you a slow, easy lesson on the techniques, walks you slowly through each song. On Volume II, Jon Gindick professionally plays each song on guitar, voice and harmonica. Listening and playing along is an experience you and your family will enjoy again and again. The book notates, illustrates and describes the notes and the techniques that can make them sound beautiful to the ear. The CDs let you hear what it it you are trying to play, and give you easy jam along music for examples and your play-along pleasure. A WORD ABOUT HARMONICA INCLUDED edition: This is a good quality Hohner diatonic Bluesmaster in the key of C.
