Hey guys,
This is really an American phenomenon. In the UK we never even try to learn automatic (unless really have problems with manual and fail the test like 3 times). I dont know anyone who owns an automatic and have never even been in an automatic car except in the US. C’mon, if us brits can do this, you guys can do this no probs!

I am self taught, I got some pointers but no lessons. Over the years the best Harp I have found to play is Lee Oskar. Lovely tone and easy to play. The key of the harmonic can make it harder to play. I find D and G harps easiest (A hardest) – dont know why – think its because they are lower pitched. You can’t bend every note/hole on the harmonica easily, only certain notes bend nicely. Usually the second hole is an easy one to start bending. You suck in slowly then start pulling your tounge to the back of your mouth and tighten your lisps whilst speeding up the vacuum (sounds disgusting, I know), it changes the airflow, but you have to feel like your sucking the airflow downwards. If anyone finds this info helpful or not – would appreciate the feedback.
Happy harmonica playing! xxx
Was aiming for a whole two weeks off but here I am on Day 6 and a glass of wine in hand – Oh Well, cheers!
