STOP listening to harmonica players. Most of them are not very good musicians. Try listening to guitars and saxaphones if you want to play differently

listening to keyboard players can be useful in learning accompaniment, as well.

Hi,
This is something I absolutely agree with and harp players are often CLEARLY guilty of listening to absolutely nothing else BUT harp players, and it's quite ironic that the large majority of their heroes often have been listening to other instruments for inspiration and then adapted techniques from other instruments to the harmonica and the classic case in point is probably the one harp player most guys are totally obsessed with sounding more like: Little Walter.
