How to learn the harmonica by Waiting to be Brillant

"I have found a new passion in music with the harmonica."

How I did it: I bought an Inexpensive Honer harmonica. I knew Honer was a good brand and it proved to be a great beginners harp. I then watched video's on you tube and read up on the internet. I then  practiced alot of the drills, such as shuffles. These make it easier to play and also help in breaking in a new harmonica. Then i started to play songs that i liked using www.harptabs.com

Lessons & tips: Try and learn simple songs that you know really well first, then move onto more complex songs. Don't give up, you may have a love/hate relationship with your harmonica- i know i do. If you get frustrated just put it down and come back later and play again.

    I really wanted to learn harmonica when I was in elementary school, so my parents went out and bought me one. However, I was easily frustrated and gave up soon after. I would make attempts at it every now and then, but I could never play single notes. I still have the harmonica, so maybe I’ll give it another shot.

    I know one song-the prisoner’s lament, and I can sort of jam with this one beatles song.
