Not sure if this belongs here or in OP - mods, please move if I'm wrong.
Some time ago, when I was about to head off travelling, I bought a harmonica with the intention of learning to play. Seemed like the ideal travelling instrument, 'cos it's tiny.
As it turns out, I am about as musical as a brick, and I never did learn how to play, though I did get as far as the physical ability to play a single, clear note, which I understand is quite hard on a harmonica.
So, my question is this - how should I go about learning to play this thing? I have a book, but that didn't seem to help. I met a guy a few weeks back who played and tried to get him to teach me a few things, but he didn't hang around long enough.
Any ideas? And please bear in mind my level of musical expertise (that of a brick) and use appropriate terminology.
Thanks!
