came here to post this.

I picked up playing harmonica last year. I can play a few songs by hard but getting good takes practice. Some of my favourites are:

The Shire (from LOTR), sounds awesome, the refrain/start is easy to play!Auld Lang Syne, easy to play, sounds nice

Beethovens Ode to Joy. first song i have learned, still one of my favourites because its fucking easy to play haha.

Harmonica is so much fun. I started playing this year to accompany guitar.

They key to progressing and getting better is to learn to play single notes by forming your lips in a small O shape. Once you are able to play single notes just keep playing and you will be killing it in no time. I love hiking and camping with a harmonica, makes a long hike or canoe paddle more enjoyable.

if you can learn a couple blues riffs you'll have no problem entertaining yourself and friends on long chairlift/ gondi rides.

Greatest skiing instrument ever, I love jamming on the lift when I'm alone. I get a little shy though when people start looking back to see what the fuck is going on.
