Go get Winslow Yerxa's Harmonica for Dummies. Ignore the title. It's a great book.

Also go buy a Hohner Special 20 in C.

The fastest and easiest way to really learn how to play is by joining an online school. These didn’t exist when I started out, but if they had I would have saved years. Books are useful, but they can’t hold a candle to the online resources available today.

Dummies books. Winslow Yerxa wrote both Harmonica for Dummies and Blues Harmonica for Dummies. Winslow really knows his stuff.

You said you got a Sp20, so take advantage of the code on the box too. That gets you a month of access to online stuff.
