Did I go too fast?

Hello.
I just joined bluesharmonica.com last Monday and I am sure I went too fast by joining.
I have no experience on the music world and I just "bought" one Harmonica, Blues type. I noticed that there is sooooo much to learn before and I was wondering if you could help me with some information on the website for beginning harmonica players, practicing or something else to do before going on an advanced level on blues Harmonica. I guess I should start for some basic studies to learn how to play Harmonica, as I noticed this is being too complicated for me.
Thank you

Hello Josep, welcome to the site. After logging in, the page that opens up is called your dashboard. This is the same page that opens up when clicking on your user name at the top right of any page (under the picture of the harmonica and the word Welcome). On this page is a large video frame with a play button in the middle titled “Welcome!” Watch this video, this tells you how to use the sight and where to start.
As a beginner, you’ll start with Blues Harmonica Fundamentals (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/blues_harmonica_fundamentals). After this lesson you’ll move on to studying two lessons at the same time… Tongue Block Study 1 (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/tongue_blocking_1) and Solo Harmonica Study 1 (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/solo_study_1).
As you work through your lessons, you can also watch two beginning students on camera work through the same material with me. These students are Sharon Barrett (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/contributor/sharon-barrett) and Hob Bosold (https://www.bluesharmonica.com/contributor/hob_bosold). You’ll find their questions, and my answers to their questions, helpful in your studies as well.
If you have any questions during your studies, feel free to ask any of the experts at BluesHarmonica.com on the forum https://www.bluesharmonica.com/forum
Best wishes on your studies.
David Barrett
