Mel Bay Exploring 2nd Position (Harmonica Masterclass Series, Level 2) Paperback – February 1, 2003

This entire series of harp instruction by David Barrett is excellent

An amazing book. Well thought out and well explained. My playing has improved 100 fold in the 2 weeks I've been using this book. An absolutely essential buy for any budding harp player. I'd give it ten stars if I could!!

Highly recommend it for beginners or intermediate blues students. I was playing for only about 2 years and starting to jam. Other musicians could notice the improvement. I have bought other David Barrett learning items also.

This may be a useful reference but still contains alot of information, which in my opinion, seems to be dissecting blues to a formula so precise that there is no spontaneity left.I actually found the 2 min intro ditty played by the author was the most inspiring thing to come out of this entire book series. I learned that as a framewok for improvising in a local pub and have hardly touched the rest of the book.Dave Barrett has made an industry of writing blues harp books that all cover more or less the same thing. I think they also assume that you are an alien and have landed on this planet, never having heard a bar of blues in your life.This book sumarises a lot of things covered in other books in his growing series, but I think listening to the greats like Little Walter (for which there is a play along book) was far more useful and quicker.

All of these little books in the series are great. They are simple and have great exercices to get you comfortable with the position.

Ben fatto davvero, ma per capirlo e studiarci sopra bisogna saper leggere la musica visto che sono praticamente 30 pagine di spartiti.
