I am a new harmonica player but I want to be able to play the harmonica in this song as I sing karaoke and I would be able to delete the harmonica sound on the backing track. I need a few clarification on the harmonica part to this song. I am aware the song is in the key of C and hence I need a C harp. I played around with my guitar and found out the notes if I am not wrong is C, B. A, G, G, A.    Am I right? Does playing this little harmonica riff requires bending any notes? I cannot bend notes yet. Am I right playing this little riff means blowing on hole 4 (C), drawing on hole 3 (B), drawing & bending a whole step on hole 3 (A),  blowing on hole 3 twice (G G) and ending on A (draw and bend half a step on hole 3) . Is this accurate? This requires bending one note (A) but is there a way of playing this riff without bending any notes? This is the song and the harmonica riff is at the beginning lasting for a few seconds starting from 0.10 to 0.15 on the timer. Here is the link to the song:
