Recommendations for learning harmonica?

Gear & Tools Talk

I can’t play guitar for 6 weeks or so as I’ve broken my arm, so I thought it might be a hoot to start learning harmonica during my enforced downtime. Is there a site like Justin’s for Harmonica? Can anyone tell me what type of harp to buy, recommend lesson sites, books etc?
I’m taking early retirement this coming weekend, I’m also retiring from motorcycling (the cause of the broken arm), take away music as well and I’ll be bored to death! Help a dude in desperation!

Thanks Graeme. I checked out his lesson 1 and blew a single note in seconds. Just need to practice until I can do it consistently!

I learned a lot from the video’s of Adam Gussow

If you’re not afraid of older video’s;

Thanks Lieven, I’d already found Gussow and also Jon Gindick and Mitch Grainger thanks to previous answers!
I found that after watching Grainger’s lesson 1 I was able to blow a single note: I’ll have a look at the others once I’ve practiced enough to be able to do it consistently :grin:
