Anybody can blow or draw the notes. I have been teaching myself harmonica for about 3 months now and despite learning the bends, I am still struggling with the top four holes, 7 to 10. I either get nothing or maybe a whistling noise. I have a Special Twenty so it's not the harmonica. I have searched for weeks now on the internet trying to find some sort of help, technique, advice. So anybody can blow the holes but how to get them to sound right or even sound at all in some cases is defeating me. There seems to be no help out there and I am so frustrated. I want to play them well and even fast. Some technique and advice pleeeeeeeeease :)
