Again I recommend Mel Bay's Complete Classic Chicago Blues Harp by David Barrett. Its an invaluable tool, a reference book. It starts with the basics then gets you jammin. It comes with a CD. I put it on cassette so I can rewind. I think I paid $25 bucks for it. A hell of a deal.. Im in no way affiliated with them. I also purchased Jerry Portnoy's Blues Harmonica Masterclass. It contains 4 CDs and is for a medium to advanced player IMHO. The cost was about $60 and worth every dime.. I have purchased a few duds which I wont mention..Want to learn fast, play all the time, every chance you get, and listen listen listen to the masters. You will reach a point where you can visualize whats being played. Look out after that...Bluz
