Great harp player, Poor teacher

This is a good book for intermediate and advanced players to pick up licks from the music on the CD on their own. For this reason, I liked this book. The instruction is way poor. Butterfield was straight out one of the best, but he was a lousy instructor.

Lessons from a master

Butterfield was my door into the Chicago electric blues world in the mid 60's. I'd been playing in rock bands since elementary school (vocals and keyboards). Being from R.I.

Too honky tonk

I don't care for his style, therefore buying his instructional program was pretty much a waste. Should have listened to his playing first.

Very Underwhelming. . .

Butterfield is not a bad technician when it comes to playing the harmonica (assuming the accompanying CD is him). There are several riffs that are very impressive and entertaining. But when it comes to trying to provide the listener with instructions, he falls quite a bit short. I found that...

Not for the beginner

I was led to believe this was targeted for beginners, but that is not the case! The sheet music is fairly complex.

Great Help on Learning Blues Harp

I'd been trying to learn blues harp for about a month when I ordered this book along with "John Sebastian Teaches Blues Harmonica." Being an intermediate blues guitarist, I managed to figure out a few licks on my own, but nothing fancy or complicated. When I got the two books a week ago, I...
