I'm a beginner at blues harp and this cd has helped me tremendously. So much I thanked Jon myself. If you're a beginner, buy it and you'll see just how easy Jon makes everything. I must admit it's somewhat basic, but that's what beginners need. It totally revised my way of thinking and trying to fit riffs or licks into the beat and rhythm of the music. Now, I'm ready to try something harder. This cd will definitely get you off on the right foot, quickly!
