Customer Reviews

liked it

I got this book, or it's precursor, in the 70s, loved it but lost it. I needed a follow up on it and this came very quickly after i ordered it. I always loved the flavor of the writing by Mr Glover, a great place to start for beginners. I never got to play well but I enjoyed the help the book gave me, and needed an excuse to play harp.

Still a winner after 30 years

I used this book as a teen to learn Blues Harp, that was, sad to say, 30 years ago. The experience of learning with this book was a lot of fun, still remembered clearly, and effective, I still play and enjoy it.You want to learn Blues Harp (of course, you do), get this book. Can't miss.
