BeatTab Harmonica Blues
A broad and eclectic group of about 25 great blues (mostly) pieces, that are fun to play while demonstrating the value of notated detail — particularly for that of rhythm.
Note that in general, most of these pieces are contemporary ones, done by players that you can still reach out and touch. You do not always have to go back fifty years to hear good blues music. And YouTube and similar has allowed everyone to enjoy what they have given us. But consider buying some of their CD's or attending their workshops and webinars for great instruction. There is a lot of help out there for improving our playing. We need to support these artists.
Detailed instruction and tablature is included from easy to intermediate pieces. Although this book has been written more toward seasoned players, newer players can easily benefit from its clarity that enables much faster advancement than most blues books allow.
Blues has unique elements of rhythm, without which, the blues is just not the blues. BeatTab easily captures most of these nuances that are normally difficult-to-impossible to transcribe concisely with precision. Be prepared to be surprised as to the help that this book can provide for learning. A very unique book!
