i play once in a while. i used to sit in with a band on their blues tunes, but we've got kids now and the band has sort of evaporated. we'll be getting back together for a reunion show on july 4th. some american thing?
you have a harp already? if not, i suggest a Lee Oscar in the key of C, A, or D. Lee Oscars are very smooth and good for starting out compared with Hohner.
good luck

thanks choco. i have not yet purchased a harp but it sounds like i should purchase a 10 hole diatronic C scale.
how long did it take for you to get comfortable playing?

well. it all started when i was 8. i was battle raped.
i put it out of my mind until the 1..2..3.. repeater thread.
the repeater part made me think of the repeated battle raping.
this name repeats itself so i wanted to... oh god.... i promised myself i wouldn't cry...

yeah, stick to diatonic ... i've only tried a chromatic harp once. that's a hole other level.
i mostly play by ear and it was off and on for some years. but playin with a band i got more serious about and actually practiced. took a few months before i was getting compliments and impressing the chicks at the bar when we played.

- k0na_an0k0
oh. plus i f-ed up a few months or so ago at home. i forgot newstoday remembered my old login name and at work i had the new one. i logged in to ask a question and one of the guys brought it to my attention. i ruined the 10001. so now i'm either going to go to 10101 or just fart around a bit more today, remember the good ol times and smoke a doobie and pour some colt .45 on the pavement for my fallen homies.
