This lesson deals with the technique for draw bends, as well as the uses and advantages of bending notes on the harmonica. You'll need a C harmonica to take part (I'm using a Hohner Marine Band, but any ten hole diatonic harmonica will do just fine).

The video is aimed at beginners who are able to get good clean single notes on the harmonica and want to learn to bend them (change their pitch).

It is also possible to blow bend and overblow notes on the harmonica but these techniques are beyond the scope of this lesson. You might also like my lesson on blow-bending:    • How to play harmonica blow bends
