Hello
I just started playin these hohner piedmont blues harmonicas a week or two ago and I really want to learn to play like elwood but I can't get the sound right and it's probably cause I'm new but what can I do to start to sound like him? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you get a Green Bullet microphone it'll give you a nice sound

I can play the harp for King Bee but we don't do that song John Belushi hated doing the Bee thing and we want to be a tribute to the Blues Brothers not the Bee Brothes but they did preform that song very good
