Blues on a Harmonica?
I bought a chromatic harmonica not so long ago, and I'm not entirely familiar with. I would like to learn some basic blues riffs ", as used in" 12 bar. If someone could give me instructions on what I would appreciate it.
Blues is usually played on a diatonic rather than chromatic, harmonica: bending over and blowing come more naturally to the ten-hole instrument. But you can play blues on a chromatic with a little extra effort. I see you have some good links to YouTube.

I recommend that ROck n' Blues Harmonica by Jon Gindick. I bought a few books while trying to learn and that one was the most help and easiest for me to follow and stick with.
