Hi David, Yesterday I purchased my first harmonica - the Special 20, C (as advised by the store owner). But as your lessons appear to be around the use of an A harmonica, do I need to buy an A harmonica or will I still be ok using the C? I thought this might be a common problem but couldnt find any other similar questions in my search, so apologies if this has been addressed before. Thanks!

Welcome to the site DGodfrey.

Welcome to the site DGodfrey. There is an intro lesson for those with only the C Harmonica, and it is found here http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/c_harmonica_intro_lesson. After this lesson if you decide to continue you will need to pick up an A Harmonica. Best wishes on your studies.
