how to play harmonica (the blues)

I found this video on youtube and it's fairly simple to follow with quick results.It's all in the rhythm . The harp is a Hohner in the key of C. I recommend the Diatonic Blues Harp because they bend much easier....Google "cross harp chart" for which key to use in "second position" with your song.I like Sydel blues session harpsand Suzuki Pro harmonicaalso see Turbo harps and pipe humming harps.Use your tongue pushed into the holes to help bend notes or block themand turn slightly into your lower lip for a better sound.Hope this helps inspire you to play more harp, its actually fairly easy.also try saying ta, ta, da, dah, as youblow, blow, draw, drawGood luck and have fun..Also check out Pick's new Swampwitch harmonica...This set of videos are your next steps:and very easy and effective to learn quickly with:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwhscer1cQc
