Bending Notes (trying)

I use my dry-erase board to try and explain note bending on harmonica. I'm sure there will be numerous questions on this one, so go ahead, ask away guys. Shown on a 10 hole key of c hohner blues harp (diatonic).

@pla614 cheap harmonica are no good for bending, get a hohner special 20 or a hohner marine band

I have been trying to bend notes for about 6 months, and i can't do it. anything else you can recommend??

[pla614]

just got a hohner c harmonica for christmas. how about a very basic tutorial, you seem to be very good at what you do. teach the blow and suck thingy. when I suck or blow I am getting more than one note.
