[QUOTE="Nighthawk, post: 1324854, member: 3906"] If you are trying to play the blues, C is a good start. Don't go out and buy a Hohner blues harp unless you are ready to tear your mouth up, right off, especially starting off. Buy a Hohner Special 20, it ha plastic, not wood, that will not swell, get sharp and cut your lips. start by cupping your left hand over the harp, cup your right hand over the left hand use it for the Wa sound. Now, lets just use numbers here start sucking on number 4 hole and as you do so, start to move your mouth to get different tones and don't forget to use the wa of your hand. Do this in a nice deep draw as you breath in, then blow out. Take your time. Practice. It does not matter what you sound like at first, it will start to get better as you use to the harp. There is your first lesson. Welcome to the blues. Stop by the show room, bring your harp, call first, and I will help you. I will also play slide, in the background to help you keep the sound going.
