I dabble with the harmonica a little bit but certainly nothing to brag about. I've been looking into getting a decent set so I can learn a little bit more.

I attemped it several times but never really pursued it. My biggest problem was and still is, I have no sound proof area(s) to regularly practice in. One of these days though...

If you get a chance... listen to Rory Gallagher's " Live in Europe ". This was Gallagher's BIG seller - about 5 million sold which was astounding for a live album in 1972. There is a song " I Could've Had Religion " where he plays electric slide and harmonica - some parts where they are both playing lead. This isn't some simple folky tune where a guitarist will switch to playing rhythm guitar while playing a lead harmonica. You have to be an extraordinary talent to play 2 lead instruments at the same time ... live... while being recorded.

Although he dosen't play guitar while playing harmonica I reccomend you check out John Popper from Blues Traveler.

I got it from my local music shop here in Norway, you can buy them a lot of places online:

But it seems that they don't sell that exact set in the U.S. the only one I can find on american sites is this set:
