Bending the Blues

Bending (that is, lowering a note by changing the shape of your mouth and tongue) is both the hardest and the most important harmonica technique. A good “bender” can add up to 16 new bent notes to a standard ten hole harp!
This 64 page book and 2-CD set (for “C”, “A”, or “F” harps) will teach total beginners to start bending right away. It’ll teach intermediate/advanced players to use draw bends, blow bends, and overblows in a variety of styles, scales, licks, and positions.

Note to Serious Beginners: It's never to early to start learning to bend, if you want to play the blues!
