Just a quick tip. I'm new to the harmonica thing, so i don't have much to give. But the thing that really helps me with bending is to use my guitar tuner. I just set ie to the not that i'm bending to, and i can see how close i am and also how the shape of my mouth/tounge change the note.

You'll find Bendometer on www.harpsoft.com very helpfull also. It will show you what hole you're using and what note or how close to the note you're getting.

I've been using it to watch music while I play mp3 files to see the notes that are being hit then try to repeat the sequence.

The thing that helps me when bending is to say eeeeeeeeeeee when drawing or blowing. You have to over exagerate it to make it work. you say eeeeeeeee while pressing your tongue harder against the roof of your mouth or your teeth to get the bend out. This only works for pucker

i really like the blues but bending seems to be very difficult. help
