Hi Tom,
Mike and songman give good info above.
I get paid to play harmonica, and sure can remember starting out with no musical theory to lean on at that time.

I figure you may be at the place where I was, and could benefit by just jammin with the harp in various keys. Here's a hint.

try noodling around with your C harp to tunes in the following keys:

C (1}

Dminor(2}

Eminor (3), sometimes called "country cross harp")

G ( 5 ) blues "cross harp" position)

Also get to know the Nashville number system and chart out all the keys. Check in the music therory forum here, I noticed there a lot of posts on the topic. Having this chart will give you a visual reference to help figure out how this all works.

have a good one
