Does anyone know any good climb riffs to manuever up and down the harmonica.

Yeah, check out Adam Gussow and Jason Ricci. They both have good videos about it.

I've seen most of Adams video's and I don't like one... can you give me the # if you know it? I'd be interested in it, too.

Well I usually use the major scale with some bends. But its getting routine.

Play as triplets. (Start and end where you need to.)
-3 -2 -3, 4 3 4, -4 -3 -4, 5 4 5, -6 -5 -6, -7 -6 -7, 7 6 7, -8 8 -8, 8 7 8, -9 -8 -9, 9 8 9, -10 -9 -10

Also, blow-draw-draw. For example:
3 -3 -4, 4 -4 -5, 5 -5 -6, etc.

The second one is easier for me because I don't have to remember to swith from starting a triplet on a draw to starting on a blow. You can even keep the blow-draw-draw pattern intact through the 7 hole. Nobody notices the change.

Thanks.
BTW:
You can still play blow-draw-draw on the way down, too.
