In today's harmonica lesson I'll give you seven tips for helping you to bend notes. This video is for you if you are trying to bend for the first time, or if you have been giving it a go but feel you need a bit of extra help.

I recommend learning to bend on a Hohner Special 20 harmonica. Here's an Amazon link (I receive a small affiliate payment if you buy via the link) - https://amzn.to/3ll6pGZ
