Just wondering if anyone knew of any online chromatic blues resources besides Dr Gussow and Jason's YT vids. Thanks.

I got a new Chrom the other day and i'm woodshedding Jasons "Chromatic for the Diatonic player video" and also Dave Barretts bluesharmonica.com has loads of great Chromatic study lessons, i highly recomend them.

There's a thread on slidemeister on blues in E using a C chrom--Winslow posted a really nice sound file.
There is also this thread http://www.slidemeister.com/forums/index.php?topic=7054.0
that deals with blues on the chrom.

Here is a link to a good chromatic resource, though it is not a tutorial, and not specific to blues chromatic:

what is a good, INEXPENSIVE chrome in G to buy.
i stress inexpensive (not cheap), because i'm just getting started with chromes and may only use it for a couple of songs to play in 3rd position.

I like the Suzuki SCX-48, it comes in G.
It's not cheap tho, less than a CX-12 but more than a Swan or something.
Hohner has a new chrom, called the Discovery, but I don't think it comes in G.
The 260 comes in G, that's a nice ten hole chrom--but for blues, ten holes might not be enough.
I don't know of any harp manufacturer who makes a 16 hole in G.

The 12-hole size is where you find chromatics in the most keys.
A Hohner 270 in G will run about $175-ish, while a Suzuki SCX-48 in G will cost about the same.
You may find Chinese brands such as Swan for considerably less, often under $100 - if you can find one in G. These harmonicas tend to be less robust in both sound and construction, though.

Thank you all so much, those links are really helpful. Frank, what I guess I'm looking for is something in the "just beyond absolute beginner" area. Still focusing on 3rd position, though a lot of these resources make me think that stretching out into others might not be as difficult as I thought.
