Harmonica References
These are (in no particular order) the harmonica resources that I have found most useful myself:
- Jon Gindick - a good online resource and some decent books available too.
- Harmonica Lessons - THE most comprehensive online resource I know of.
- David Harp references - my favourite author for beginners:
- "Blues & Rock Harp Positions Made Easy" (ISBN: 0918321832) - an excellent book for explaining the principle of harmonica positions, and a very cheap price.
- "Bending The Blues" (ISBN: 0918321115) - another excellent book, this one helps you learn THE most important harmonica techique: note bending. Also a very cheap price.
- David Barrett references - my favourite author for intermediate and advanced. This is perhaps THE most comprehensive source of written and recorded material available to the self-teaching harmonica player.
- The Harp Handbook (ISBN: 0711949190) by Steve Baker - often touted as "the harmonica player's bible", and with good reason.
- Lee Oskar - forget Hohner, these harmonicas are the greatest: smooth, clear, sturdy, comfortable, modular (i.e. spare parts available), well-priced, and they come in a variety of tunings. I love 'em!
