Easy sad Blusy Music?

I am complete Harmonica newbie.. I got a Diatonic Suzuki Folk Master in the Key of C. Recommended for begineers (C). I am quite intreseted in playing sad blusy music on it, but i am not really sure where to start, I tried google but really not much of luck. If u found a record I like , i can't find tabs for it and if I find some tabs can't find the actual recording.

Any Advice would be appreciated, one more thing, i am also not really sure if I am on the right track or not. am I supposed to start playing stuff like that in the beginning, or do I start with something else.

I downloaded a book "Harmonica for Dummies" but with no CD so useless , anyways what I need is something easy to start with and work myself up. Thanks

    Learn music theory, not just harmonica. There are many concepts that will help you achieve a tone that can be perceived as sad.

    One of the first things you do on harmonica to achieve a more-expressive ability is to "bend" notes (to change the pitch of a note).

    Look on YouTube, there are many great instructional videos there. Look for Kudzurunner, Ronnie Shellist, Jason Ricci, and you will find more.
