Schott Music Blues Harp

The easy way to the blues - playing the harmonica

The blues harp is a versatile instrument. Even if its sound automatically evokes associations with music on the Mississippi, it is also suitable for other musical styles. Its characteristic sound stands out and brings a breath of fresh air.

Schott Music Blues Harp is aimed specifically at beginners, even if they have no previous knowledge of the instrument. It is a holistic guide that presents its contents in a detailed step-by-step manner and also covers general things you need to know about the instrument. In order to put what you have learned into practice and thus consolidate it, the edition contains many well-known blues songs. These are additionally provided with guitar chords and lyrics to sing along. This guarantees double fun.
