    Stand up, raise your hand or gesticulate wildly.

    I've recently decided to take it up properly, currently I have a Hohner Special 20 and I'm at the very very early stages of learning the instrument.

    So any tips for a Harp n00b.

    I used to play a bit. I would say practice your hand shapes and bending by sucking harder. It can be used to make things sound more interesting. I think the first song I learnt was "amazing grace" it was pretty easy to work out from what I remember.

    Is that harmonica diatonic?

    I remember I played cross key harp. Common in blues I think.

    A good blues record is "Alabama Train" can't remember the artist, could be Louisiana Red.
