Welcome to the site ggift.

Welcome to the site ggift. 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. Best wishes on your studies.

pitch on the harmonica

I bought a blues harp and am having trouble with the 2nd hole draw on G.  It is very flat and I can't seem to get it in tune.  All other pitches work well.  Is it possible the harp is flawed.  I have seven of the same harp and this is the only one that is out of tune.

Hello gaokerlund. This is a

Hello gaokerlund. This is a very common issue for new players. This issue is not happening on the harmonicas because they are different keys, and this issue is key-specific. Go to this page https://www.bluesharmonica.com/faq and watch the video titled, "My 2 draw and/or high-end notes sounds flat, airy or not at all!"

Walk with me breathing

Hi David,

In "Walk with me" 3rd Chorus I feel sometimes I have too much air, in some places I am lack of air. Where could be the problem? Thank you!

Hello Darius. Try opening

Hello Darius. Try opening your nose a little when you play your blow notes. Also, make sure your nose is closed for your draw notes. If you would like some help with that, you can watch the video titled "I run out of breath so easily!" on this page https://www.bluesharmonica.com/faq
