Welcome @bookcraver,
I’m a new harmonicist too. I’m taking the Beginner to Boss course as well and really have enjoyed my journey. I’m still in the Chords Module and am just following @Luke’s advice: relax and have fun! The folks here are very kind and have lots of great tips and are eager to help.

Hello everybody, just signed up and bought the beginner to boss package.
i was researching where to learn how to play the harmonica. being from atlanta and having no harmonica schools or teachers nearby i was looking for online schools and came across this one amongst many others. i knew harmonica.com was the school for me when i learned how to bend in just 5min watching the how to bend video with Luke! FAN TASTIC!!! looking very forward to the classes

Hi my name is David, been studying blues breakthrough now for 3 months and getting real enjoyment out of the harp. I play guitar as a novice for the last 5 years am 65 years old and have found the harp so much easier and fun as well as cheaper even with the higher grade instrument as opposed to guitars. Best wish’s to all in your endeavours and happy harping.

I’m doing beginner to boss. I don’t find it easy but I really enjoy the satisfaction the achievement gives you when you complete a unit. I’m learning heaps and feel like I’m meeting people even if only in a cyber sense. Good luck with the course.
