The Great Harmonica Songbook: 45 Songs Specially Arranged for Diatonic Harmonica

Great Songs / Varied Skill Levels / Difficult to See
All in all I’m very disappointed in what could have been a great music book. I’m a little farsighted and while I can easily see the staff/notes, I have to keep the book around 10 inches from my face to read the tabs and lyrics because the font is so faint. Since I purchased the book for the tabs this renders a good book nearly useless to me. Will have to see if I can get the pages scanned and reprinted in a format I can see at a reasonable distance. Would give a 5/5 review if they used a bolder font to increase the contrast.

This is a near worthless purchase for my Kindle
Even though this book does have a number of interesting songs, I made the mistake of downloading to my Kindle and Chromebook. I obviously should have bought the paper book edition, because without a magnifying glass, I cannot read the songs themselves. The intro and directory, you can adjust font and size to your heart's content. But nothing can be done to adjust the size of the song pages themselves to make them readable, unless you break out the magnifying glass.

It has a good selection of songs from Broadway to rock and roll
It has a good selection of songs from Broadway to rock and roll. Most of the songs are simple enough that all you need to know is how to play a single note no bends or chords required. But there are also some songs that are a little more advanced to keep the slightly more experienced player entertained. Good book I would buy it again.

These are all the songs in the book
This is a good quality book, which has the full music notation, harmonica tabs and guitar chords as well. There is not much note bending and it is good for a beginner like me who has grasped the basics but wants a break from trying to master note bending. I doubt anyone will like all the music, and some of the songs from musicals I am not familiar with, but I am sure there is enough songs from a variety of genres that most people will enjoy and think it is worth the purchase price.I took a gamble and bought it without knowing the songs, but to save you having to take the same risk here is the complete listing:All I Ask OF You * All My Loving * Beauty And The Beast * Brown Eyed Girl * Can You Feel The Love Tonight * Can't Help Falling In Love * Daydream Believer * Don't Cry Out Loud (We Don't Cry Out Loud) * Duke Of Earl * Dust In The Wind * Edelweiss * Every Breath You Take * Heart and Soul * Help! * I Shot The Sheriff * I Walk The Line * Imagine * The Last Time I saw Paris * Let It Be * Love Me Tender * Maggie May * Moon River * My Blue Heaven * My Funny Valentine * My Girl * My Heart Will Go On (Love Theme from Titanic) * My Romance * Nowhere Man * Piano Man * Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head * Rainy Days And Mondays * Stand By Me * A Time For Us (Love Theme) * Time In A Bottle * Unchained Melody * We Will Rock You * What A Wonderful World * What The World Needs Now Is Love * When I Fall In Love * With A little Help From My Friends * Yellow Submarine * You Are My Sunshine * You Are So Beautiful * You Are The Sunshine Of My Life * Your Cheatin' Heart

No problems
Uses the singer's line as the harmonica notes and suggested chords as an optional secondary instrument such as a guitar. Buyers should note that the melody note length is approximate to make the songs more appropriate for those new to sheet music, due to this a student should listen to the actual song to adjust the timing.I would've preferred a more true to the original timing version since I use sheet music a lot with guitar and piano but I know this product is made for those new to sheet music and I can't fault it for that.
