: okay, so I shouldn't use the old harmonica. I also have a new one, so how do I play it? Although it is a simple looking instrument, I have no idea of how to hold it, where each note is, etc. I would like painfully detailed descriptions about everything I need to know to begin.
I have only been playing for about 4-5 weeks (via this site) I had cheap honer in c and a good honer in g. Followng the excellant advice on this site I purchased the "Lee Oskar" in c thru this site and it hs made a world of differance. I am in itfor the long haul and just to amuse myself so I do each weeks lesson plan for 2 weeks although I do cheat and try to attempt some of the more advanced stuff with some success(aka bending)I sound light years better than I did a month ago and I kick ass on "Oh Susanna" (yeah it gets a little dull sometimes.) My advice? Get the Lee Oskar (i doesn't leak like the honers) and read the site thru,many questions are answered,and it seems we all ask the same questions,so kick back and "Blow your face out baby" Ed
