Hohner Big River harps are the best all round deal, considering what you get. I use 'em all the time, and I love 'em. For an easy first song, learn to play the harmonica part to "Mister Tambourine Man", an ideal harmonica song. Start out by playing 3 note chords and then learn to narrow your lips down and pick out singe note melody and harmony lines. That's straight harp style. Then there's blues harp which is a bit different. Get a blues-style harp player to show you some simple riffs for that. Have fun!
