Hello wahoo. Since you already know how to read music, I recommend you ditch the TAB.

Im not sure how to go about

Im not sure how to go about doing that ?? I know the harmonica CEGCEG and so on but I think I would be lost ?? Is there a lesson that focuses on learning this or any suggestions from you ?? Any secrets ? I played the trumpet and learned what valves to play but on harmonica I dont know ? Any books or any thing or some kind of lesson ? Is there any thing on this site that talks about this ? I have been here for a while and just thought about it and thought its something that I should learn and know . Thanks
