    As an oldie of 74, (I started at 72), this is a great instrument to learn. Stick it in your top pocket and doodle, it starts to make sense. I play blues and I've just started playing it in the band. This is a great place to start learning. When you start to bend notes you get a great kick! Thanks Luke.

    I recently picked up the harmonica after having little to no time to play my other instruments now, as I'm in a new career where I drive a whole lot. Following along with your videos, i immediately bought a special 20 "C" and have been playing when I make stops on the road for work. Your content is extremely digestible and well made! You are the reason I'm still learning and playing music, despite my new career! Thank you Luke!

      And Isolating single notes
      ruclips.net/video/v4mDMJzsnoU/видео.html
      As long you are keeping those fundamentals solid, bend away. But typically I recommend not worry about bending at least for the first couple weeks, or longer...

    Thanks Luke - Had a great time learning yet a bit more from you.
    One of the best pieces of advice that I got from you was in a previous video lesson and all you said was take a break when playing a tune and don't try to play through the whole song.
    It'll sound a lot better with breaks.
    That advice was what I needed to tone it down and it works and sounds great.
    Then you get to kill that solo on your turn.
    Thanks again

    Whoa! What a blast! I can't believe what just came out of me and this video. When it started, I said "yea-sure not me". But it woke up my jam-o-sphere from guitar days. I am a real beginner and still working on lip formation and single notes. But I got the bends, trills, and a playground to practice (in car) now. After seeing your instruction, encouragement and grins; I am weeks further along, and having FUN... Thank you!!!
