The click track and harp parts are panned so that the click track can be turned down and you can hear the harp more clearly. Each track contains the riff played with a click/drum background, and in three tempos: fast, slow, and medium. Occasionally, syllables such as 'ah wah cha-chi-cka wah cha' are suggested above the staff and are given as an aid in figuring out how to match the articulations. The rest of the book is the sheet music of the sixty-seven riffs, written out in standard music notation with a simple and basic harp tab. That and the author bios at the end are about all the text there is. The book contains a two page intro that recommends you get in touch with Joe Filisko 'if you want to get deeply immersed in the styles of the early harp players.' This is followed by a two page biography of Sonny Terry and a one page bio of Joe and one page of reviews of the book from Pat Missin, Paul Lamb and Tom Ball.
