THE classic instructional text, for a reason
21 Sep 2011
By Adam Gussow
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
As a 16-year-old in the fall of 1974, determined to learn how to play blues harmonica, I stumbled across this book purely by chance in the local mall. I picked it up along with my first Hohner Marine Band harmonica. Now, almost 40 years later, as a pro player and teacher, I'm still in awe of Glover's achievement. He may not get every single lick right--his tab system raised as many questions for me back then as it answered--but he DID get the instrument's great tradition exactly right. In his inimitable hipster's voice, with a cool gruffness that makes him seem like every teen wannabe's knowing, disreputable Kerouackian uncle, he hips you to all the Big Names, tells you why they're important, what they're ABOUT, and makes you feel as though you're setting off on a serious, soulful enterprise. This book will inspire you and comfort you; it'll challenge you, too. Are you paying attention? This is your roadmap. It's an ancient roadmap, but that's okay, because the music is about all that old stuff, too. Blues harmonica is a sorcerer's art; a little attitude, a little improvisational juice, a dash of mumbo jumbo, is just as important as sober rationalism. Thanks to YouTube, young players these days have infinitely more instructional material to choose from, and some of it is very good indeed. But nobody--not Gindick, not Barrett, not Gussow (!)--has captured the feel of the music and its warm, sometimes gruff mentorship process more perfectly, in the form of a written voice, than has Tony Glover in this book. Start here.

Still a winner after 30 years
8 Nov 2000
By Ron Wolf
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
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.

An excellent introduction
19 Feb 2013
By moviewatcher
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is not "filled with mistakes". I checked out Pat Missin's review of it (it's in the "Fairly Frequently Asked Questions" section of Missin's website (which is excellent, by the way)). There are a grand total of three mistakes; they all involve misidentifying the type of harp used on a particular recording, and none of them will damage or impede the reader's learning how to play blues on diatonic harmonica.
On a more positive note, Glover's book is an excellent introduction to a variety of blues harmonica styles. To quote Pat Missin, it is "well worth ordering from amazon.com".
