Brand new to the harmonica. Got the free month code with the purchase of my Hohner Special 20 (C). Says its not really a "blues" harmonica. Not sure what the difference is. But will this be good to learn your lessons with? I also see that the first lesson says I'll need a harmonica in "A". Should I be doing a different lesson? Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the site Grant.

Welcome to the site Grant. There is an intro lesson for those with only the C Harmonica, and it's found here http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/c_harmonica_intro_lesson. After this lesson, if you decide to continue, you'll need to pick up an A Harmonica. The C that you have is fine... you have the harmonica needed for blues. Best wishes on your studies.
