Hello Moran. Use whichever

Hello Moran.

Use whichever harmonica matches the key of the jam track you're using.

You can play on any key of harmonica, the theory works for all of them...just make sure your jam track and harp keys match (A harp and E Jam track for example).

You can use bending if you wish, but it's not required at this level (it will be in Accomanimant Study 5). If a note is not available on a hole, move up or down one hole for that chord and then come back for the next chord.
