im learning to play harmonica right now and little videos like these help a lot. i have a question though, how do you play the Bb when you move on to around the 5th bar (around :20)? i guess im just bad at bending =(

@Mokumo The Bb around the 20 second mark is the 3 hole draw bent down a half step. It's a pretty important note for blues in 2nd position so keep practicing. Try using a chromatic tuner - it helps to be able to see when you're hitting the right note.  Good luck!

Dude you've made a mistake on the labeling of this video. You said its in G but your playing a C harmonica. Not good for the people trying to learn. You might wanna re-label this video "12 Bar in C"

[pritchharp]

@dieseldevine80 The label is correct. The harmonica is a key of C but I'm playing in the key of G. It's possible to play in many different keys on one harmonica. Key of G is second position on a C harmonica which is also known as cross harp and the most common position for most blues playing.

@weepingmoon1 No - it's a C harp played in 2nd position key of G.
