While my reading overall was slow this summer, I spent a lot of time working through this book with my harmonica. It's been an amazing resource for having a foundation and place to learn various techniques. I'm excited to springboard into the next level of stuff now.

I got a lot of good scales and notes to practice. I got some insight how to jam and improvise. I got some music theory that in reality, I didn’t get. I got this after the Internet videos went down so I lost some of that. From exercises and text, there was a lot to learn from this.

Good beginning instructional book, a bit too wide ranging for me, but its very clear in its explanations...I just don't have the skill to do bends or overblows!

Nice explanation of bending.
