Learn how to play the harmonica. This first lesson gives the very basics you need to know to get started. I suggest that you have your harmonica in hand so you can play along. I use a Key of C Honer Golden Melody. However, when you are beginning the brand and model doesn't matter as much. As you progress and you want to bend notes and such, you will notice big differences between brands and models. Just make sure your first harmonica is actually tuned to C. For a beginner I suggest the Honer Blues Band Harmonica. http://www.elderly.com/new_instruments/items/HO1501.htm My favorite store to order harmoicas from is Elderly Instruments in East Lansing, MI.
