How does this guy play classical guitar together with Harmonica?
Is that difficult?
Is there any online lessons for this?

Playing an instrument such as guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, etc., while also playing harmonica in a rack, just takes a lot of practice. And acquiring some expertise and experience with both instruments. One of the best at this (and he sings, too!) is Jimi Lee. Check him out, using a rack system with a pick-up, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEyAOudfhVY Or acoustic at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LShpetqCaRE
I've never been able to play with a rack. It's a very different game than when holding the harmonica in one's hands, and takes a lot of work to get good control and tone.
And re lessons, are you asking about classical guitar? I studied classical guitar for a semester when I was in college, after having played steel-stringed acoustic and electric folk, blues and rock guitar since I was about 10. It's a whole 'nuther game. If you've been playing guitar for a while, get ready to make some interesting adjustments. If you've never played guitar before, and just start out with classical lessons, perhaps it will be a tad easier.
If you go this route, i.e., playing classica guitar and harp together, good luck, and have fun!
