I love harmonica. Harmonica is great. I play mine while playing guitar or
piano.
If the band you're playing in is playing a song in C major, and you have a
harmonica in the key of C, there is no wrong note you could play. They are
easy to learn relative to other instruments, In my opinion.
However, if you want to sing while you play harmonica, now that would be tough.
My opinion would be for you to take a music theory class and learn the basics
of music. After a solid foundation in theory, you could apply the fundementals
to any instrument you choose. I can't tell if you want to be an
instrumentalist or a musician. I think focusing on the fundamentals of theory
and applying them to any instrument would tend to make you much more of a
musician than the alternative of picking a particular instrument and becoming
an expert on it... Once again, only my opinion...
Yes, for the record, Bob Dylan plays harmonica, and, as a matter of fact, his
influence is why I play one.
I'm a huge fan of Bob Dylan.
