Browse through Jon Gindick's You Tube Channel and/or buy "Rock n' Blues Harmonica" from Jon Gindick.

Learn the Pentatonic Scale and use it to jam with. Works great and it's a simple scale to learn. 1st and 2nd positions work good in majors and 3rd position works good in minors. It helped me more than any other thing I tried.

Check out www.wildflowerharmonica.com/pentatonic-scales

I've posted a tab with 6 versions, 6 positions, of the Pentatonic Scale. By using it you can play 6 different keys on 1 harmonica. You can go from the low end to the high end and back smoothly and in tune. It has been by far the most helpful tool in playing the harp that I have found.
