Hi everyone,  I'm a long time guitarist that picked up the harmonica over the last year after my band's harp player quit. I've had a Hohner marine band harp for years that sat around gathering dust. I would futz around with it but never really tried to learn how to play it proper. So last winter I decided to try in earnest to learn. I took the time to figure out what notes were what, developed a U block embouchure and do a proper blow and draw using my lungs. Then i had to figure out how to play it without gobbing it up with my spit and muting notes as result. I figured out some blues riffs and also have practiced a lot of major scale melodies like old christmas carols, dixie, classical stuff, etc. So I've gotten to the point of being able to playing on three or four blues songs live with the band, with encouragement from the guys. Gotta say, its a lot of fun! So far I've been using my vocal mic (EV967) straight into the PA, and it has worked well. Also have been making some crude home recordings to backing tracks.
