Where are the introductory exercises for folks who only have a harmonica in key C?

Hello

Would someone happen to have a a backing track to Junior Wells's Hoodoman Blues ?

Thanks! :)

Hey People,

I'm new to teaching harmonica and I've started to think about getting me an keyboard/piano to have something to show when it's comming to music theorie or to visualize some notes. But I don't know really much about keyboards/pianos. 

So, my question is: 

Is somone out there who could help me choosing a keyboard/piano. How many keys do I need? How many octaves are enough? Do I really need a full range keyboard/piano with 88 keys for excample? 

Thank you for your attention. ;)

Greetings

Does anyone know where I can find a tab for the Chicken Shack?

Hello harmonica geeks,

I need your wisdom yet once again.

I have recently equiped myself with a hohner flexcase L.

In terms of design it really meets my needs.

But the harmonicas taste oddly.

I guess it is because of the chemicals used to process the fabrics.

I know this is supposed to go sooner or later, but do you know of any tricks I could use to get ridd of the smell/taste faster?

Putting it in the laundry is not an option I guess so I was wondering if there is something I could treat it with to get the smell away.

Hey guys,

Just had a jam session and the band played this song.  It's an 8 bar blues and it messes me up sometimes. Have any of you played it and are there examples other than the few things i found on Youtube?

Thanks!
