First off, THANK YOU DAN! My Dear Ol' Dad had a harmonica in his pocket and played a 1953 martin 000-18 guitar. I never learned either of the two instruments. I lost my dad 12-05-19 to cancer. Here I sit with a 1953 martin guitar and a harmonica. I have never felt so compelled in my life to learn both. Been pluckin and have sore finger tips now and get discouraged. Got this harp in my pocket and was very happy to see a video of simple, basic instruction (YOURS). Maybe I can get a good grip on this lesson quicker than that martin. God Bless Ya Brother. Thanks again.
