Playing the Harmonica

[Matt the Gimp]

So I have this ingenious idea: spend my free time learning an instruement.

Ok the guitar is cliche and too big.

Hey Harmonica sounds good, keep it in my pocket, bust it out, I got stuff to moan about, I'll learn the blues.

go out, spend $50, get harmonica, book/cd/video kit to learn it.


I had no idea how hard this is. I used to play the trumpet, and I played it well, but 3 buttons with the fingers compared to 10 holes with the tongue, woah.


Anyone here play the Harmonica and can give me words of advice and encouragement?

Let me know if you find anything man. I've been thinking about learning the Harmonica for awhile and you've inspired me to do it.

Check out this website, seems pretty good. If you already bought other teaching aides I don't know how much it will help, but who knows.Some of It's free anyways, so it's not like you'll lose anything.

I can play When the Saints go Marching In and Do-Re-Me-Fa-etc etc.

ownage.

It's fun because you can learn songs based off the numbers and positions, rather than dealing with those pesky notes.
