I think I just wasted another $60 or so, and another week, buying the wrong key of harmonica. I just bought a C Hohner Blues Harp. I could've sworn I watched an introductory video on this site that said to use a C harmonica. Google says C is the place to start learning blues on harmonica. But then I hit another video, and it's not right. 

So, please tell me what key of Hohner Blues Harp I should buy to get the most out of the instruction material here, so that when I blow into hole 6 it matches what I hear in the video, for example?.

Hello Kevin, sorry for the

Hello Kevin, sorry for the issue. All of the material/videos at BluesHarmonica.com say to get an A Harmonica. What you must have heard is when I mentioned, "If you happen to have purchased a C Harmonica, that there is an intro lesson to keep you busy before you get your A Harmonica in the mail." Here's that lesson http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/c_harmonica_intro_lesson

When your month runs out, drop me a note and I'll get you on here for another month for free... I want this to be a positive experience for you. Until you get your A, work with that C lesson.

Best wishes on your studies.
