Multiple years ago I bought your book and CD Master of Chicago Blues Harp.  It is awesome!  Which songs from these books are the easiest to play or easiest to start with.

Hello duganderson.

Hello duganderson. Unfortunately I don't have a copy with me (COVID-19 lockdown). Send me a track list and I'll look at it for you.

Thanks duganderson. I

Thanks duganderson. I listened to snippets of the songs to remind me, and they're all generally pretty similar in their technique... just pick your favorite song and go for it. I don't know how far you are in your studies, but generally if you've completed Bending Study 4 and Tongue Blocking Study 4, you should be good to go on these tunes.
