I have always wanted to be able to Play The Blues. I'd like to learn just one cool set of riffs. I started playing the harp years ago before I knew about the tabulation method. Just pickin' out simple tunes. Once I discovered the tabs I started memorizing quite a few hymns and country songs. I play the sax and can read music. But...this blues thing is impossible for me. I have a whole box full of books and CD's that all swear they have the easiest method to teach you. One guy even breaks it down like he's talking to a two year old ...mentioning trees, creeks and the wind. I don't know what the heck he was talking about. I can play melodies note for note. Guess I'll always be an old white guy with no blues in future. Woe is me.

Jon Gindick gives pretty good instruction on Rock 'n Blues Harmonica with CD, that has a bunch of great little blues riffs to play. Play cross-harp, and it basically is blues. easy way to start is hammer the 4 hole draw, go back and forthe to five draw and end on 2 draw or 3 blow, and tease back and forth with bends.
