[Harp-L] The Big Harmonica Songbook, Olaf Bohme

[Richard Hammersley]

I saw this advertised on the Seydel website and thought it was worth buying. It indeed was, it would be an asset for anyone up to advanced intermediate I think. You won’t like all the 200 songs, but that applies to every song book. Strengths include: Showing tabs beneath a music stave, so your sight reading skills improve too; Good easy to read tab notation system; Scan QR codes to listen to the songs with, or without, harmonica; uses 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 12th positions; difficulty gradings; wide range of musical styles including European folk music and a few classical pieces; Includes songs I might actually want to play as well as complete standards. Plus yes although not cheap it is BIG for the price. Another feature I like is that the default tab note is draw not blow e.g. 3 = draw 3, 3+ = blow 3, 3’ = draw bend, 3” = double draw bend, 3’” = triple draw bend. etc.
