I bought a Lee Oscar in the key of C, and I played it for only 3 hours; and the reed had already been bent out of shape. At the rate that I am playing I am bound to break every harmonica I get. I need to tone down on my bending and stuff. So my point of this message is don’t over bend and relax when you play.

Thanks to you Madmatt i have finally sussed out the bending(just kept listnin to you)but i've been told to leave bending until you have everything else right,ie,tongue blocking,single notes etc but i will be careful when i get there.
Thank you again jimjam

u dont know toung blocking

Yes of course i know tongue blocking,i have been practising that for ages.
I was using it as an example which is stated above!!

ok sorry but the 1000 year old dude who gave me my olny lesson yelled at me to lern Singel notes

A lot of people have told me to learn single notes until you've got it to perfection but i think you learn better as you go along

your right u get better as you play

I try and practise for about an hour just playing "Oh when The Saints" so i get the single notes right,then i just go with the flow of the book which is chords at the minute!!

ey once you nail single notes it jus comes every time, no problem!
Its weird how long it takes but its soo easy after u get it.

It does take time does n't it? :)
