Why hello [: I found my dad's old harmonica in the garage the other day and can't help but feel extremly ecstatic about learning to play it. It's a C diatonic, but basically i'm just looking for some good beginner tips. Possibly a web site? Anything helps. Thanks ever so much.

There's lots of places to learn from. Here's one place.
Lots of info here, but this guy thinks he's teach theoretical physics or something. Check that site out, but keep googling.

Rock n' Blues Harmonica is a great book.

thats my channel i love to play any style ive been playing the harp for about two years, when your ready to play with another person you have to find the right person to play with. if you take the time threw my videos you can see the difference between when i play with the magic man and when am playing with random strangers or when i play by myself. you have a harp in the key of C i would really recommend you getting one in the key of A also.
I rember when i first began i could play jingle bells (poorly) just pick up and learn riffs here and there and keep practicing your brain will eventually take over and its like rididng a bike what can be tought on a harmonic is limited most must be self learned threw constant playing. if you play to your lips bleed and your friends ears are bleeding thats when you know your going to get good.
my you tube stuff is first takes, mostly recorded off my phone.

phillharmonic1@yahoo.com for any qustions good luck
