: Ever heard of Neal Pattman? That guy has one arm and rocks the harmonica. He has a lot of CDs out, too. He can hang with any harmonica player I've ever seen, that's for sure. The only disadvantage you have is not being able to use some of the hand effects (though I've seen Pattman, and he's pretty crafty with his one hand). In a way, that's an advantage as a beginner because you'll be forced to concentrate on the sounds your making through your mouth, tongue and breathing, which will make you a much stronger player in the end. Just keep on blowing, man. If you want to play it, you damn sure can play it.
