When you pick up your harp for the first time in the day, what do you play?
A scale? Chords? Same thing every time?

Go ahead and play the blues if it'll make you happy.

It really depends but it seems the past couple of months the majority of the time I play the C major scale in all 3 octaves up and down on a C harmonica to warm up.

The 6' 6- 7 trill over and over and then do a run in either 3rd or 12th pos to my heart's desire.

I play a note on whatever harp I just picked up. I usually will start a groove in my heat in that key. I try to make the harp sound like that groove using whatever lick or pattern I think will work best.
Sometimes I nail it. Sometimes I fall short because I need to do a riff that I can't play, or can't play well enough to hold the groove. I stop and work on that. If I iron that out and the groove is still there, I try to hammer it. If not, I move one and play something else.

I usually starts with 1-3 chord vamping in different breathing patterns. This really helps to open throat and to prepare your muscles for playing.
