This is a great way to start learning the harmonica. You'll need a Diatonic in the key of C, such as a Lee Oskar. (Don't buy a book with an included harmonica; those harmonicas are usually crap. A good one is only about $20.)

The book teaches notes, harmonica tabulature, reading music, some bends and chording and has a decent selection of tunes you'll recognize. It includes a CD which is very useful for hearing what the harp SHOULD sound like as well as music to practice to.

My only gripe is that I already know how to read music and find the inclusion of tabs all the way through a bit intrusive. But it made learning the harmonica faster and easier than I expected.
