I use to have one....

Until they broke into our caravan just before we went on a trip and stole the damn thing.

I bought a Hohner Blues harmonica in C key.

Easiest to learn and very versatile.

LOADS of online lessons if you google.

yes i seen all the online lessons and youtube help, thats why i thought it would be fun to learn, also spend about 4 hours a day in a truck alone so plenty of practice time

If you are wanting to play blues then a C harp is the go. You should be able to get quite a good one for $50. Ive just started to get back into learning blues harp. The hardest part is finding time by myself to practice so I don't annoy my wife with it!

Bought myself one a few weeks ago for the same reason - spend a lot of time in a truck by myself and couldn't take the guitar with me. Bought a Hohner SilverStar in the key of C, cost was less than $20.

Have had a Kangaroo harp since I was 5 yr/o and bought a Hohner about 18 years ago with the idea to learn, but it hasn't happened yet.
