real nice subtle use of percussive technique with tongue block / and air spill ... very usefull

@rizdraver 16 лет назад

Yeah, you can mimic 80-90% of the tongue-blocked sound through lip-pursing. Jason does a great job at this. I throw fakes tongue-slaps on most of my notes and I get players commenting on my good "tongue-blocking". They're always surprised to hear that I only tongue-block octaves.

Hi Adam, I have been working on this lesson for 2 weeks and I've watched this lesson many times and I have finally nailed it !!! what your doing before you slide off the 3 is a 123 draw, very subtle. It would be chi-chi (123 blow releasing air) then 123draw then slide off the 3. I cant even put into words how much your lessons are helping me. I have been playing for about 5 years and I feel I'm at the point where these lessons are really sinking in. Your teaching style is AWESOME. Thank you Sir.

Glad Adam can't sleep at night to bring us awesome tutelage. Thanks.

@concertguitarist 17 лет назад

Mr Adam, I thank you for your lessons. But it will be much easier for all your internet students if you told what key of harmonica you usein every single lesson, so that we don't have to get confuse figuring out which harmonica should we use. Again thank you, I love it!

@Modernbluesharmonica 14 лет назад

You're quite welcome! It's very gratifying to hear that I've helped you crack the code. But you've also shown people that learning this stuff is about being pointed in the right direction and then putting in some hard sweat-equity time of your own.

@BMWWhitey 17 лет назад

Adam, you are a genius! I have picked up a Honer MS Harp in C I bought last year, and I found the confidence to play, the lessons are invaluable and you are an excellent teacher. Thank you for the music. God Bless you, your family and Mr Satan! Keep up the good work..

@pinkushn2 16 лет назад

Your videos are too much fun! I discovered them tonight and blew all my practice time (and then some) watching. Thanks.

@unclevit 17 лет назад

Great lesson. Inspiring for beginner like me. Tks.

@RidiculousFail 14 лет назад

Holy hell! When I first started practicing with my harmonica I was only able to play a few notes coherently, but it wasn't much more than just blowing into and out of the harmonica really fast. I wasn't really able to keep a sound rhythm. I watched this video once and I already started to get an idea on how to start playing melodies. Granted, I've got a load of sweating to do and much to learn, but I'm definitely on the right track now. Thank you so much, you're an excellent teacher!

@bnorthup3 16 лет назад

Thank you Adam. I am getting very close to mastering this lesson now.... I have been playing off and on for 20 years and I never could make that sound.. Now, I can. Thanks.

@DennisGruenling 17 лет назад

Hey Adam - great playing! Teach me more about the tongue-blocking approach...it sounds awesome! Hope to see ya soon, man...

@jamesejudy3 10 лет назад

Wow, that two draw/ cord blow rhythm is kicking my butt! This is the most difficulty I've have with anything. Admittedly, I'm just a beginner, just been playing for a couple weeks, but the coordination is hard to pick up. Thanks for the challenge, I'll be mastering this if it kills me!

@herbster22 11 лет назад

Adam does so Much with just a couple of holes!! Great!

@SpaSeattleCrowsWing 9 лет назад

Such a gifted teacher

@samzie67 17 лет назад

Hi adam and everyone, I'm having great fun trying to learn but, im playing with a C harp i bought for £3.00 so im going out to buy a bflat this weekend! many thanks for the lessons!!!

@Bluesguy2009 15 лет назад

Thanks for another great lesson. I think i got it now.Only problem is my tong sometimes still goes up and messes up the tone. But its getting better. Thanks again. markus

@Modernbluesharmonica 17 лет назад

Well, I should make clear: I'm a lip-purser AND a tongue-blocker. Tongue blocking, when my teacher showed it to me, transformed my playing. But I continued to lip-purse--a technique better suited to overblows, I think.

@Modernbluesharmonica 17 лет назад

It IS awesome, especially when used in concert with lip pursing! We overblowers have lots of neat tricks up our sleeves. See you soon. Give Jon my best :)

@tosulami 10 лет назад

Great Adam! This one took me to another level. Thanks so much.

@mechachoi 11 лет назад

Adam, you seem like a really cool teacher. Can't wait to learn more from you!

@Modernbluesharmonica 17 лет назад

I don't know. Maybe I should take Thaqib's suggestion and market the first 20 lessons as a CD-ROM. The thought has crossed my mind lately, as this madness continues.

@solbrand 17 лет назад

Like any other RU-vid video, if you are stuck on the "Loading" screen you should try accessing the video through a proxy server. Such as.... avoidfilters DOT info

@Modernbluesharmonica 17 лет назад

Thanks. Your video is fine, too. You've got that distortion-and-reverb thing happening--like Steve Vai in the movie CROSSROADS. Whatever pedal or box you're using is working well for you.

@nohandle802 9 лет назад

this looks so easy why is it so hard , its twisting my brain I love these riffs just have to practice more.

@nohandle802 9 лет назад

nick putzell I Got it sweet.

@AndonMie 13 лет назад

All Night Boogie or something like that. It reminds me of Howlin Wolf.

@Modernbluesharmonica 16 лет назад

This is common. It happens to me. Moderate the amount of breath you force through the harp; play with less intensity. Find an intensity level that lets you own the riff/rhythm, rather than it owning you. And mix it up with other stuff.

@behavis 12 лет назад

Hey Adam, I'm so enjoying these vids. Even though I've only playing for a good 6 months now and I can't get the exact sound, I'm picking up a lot of information and ideas. And I guess if I just keep at it eventualy I will be get that sound right...

@Modernbluesharmonica 16 лет назад

I don't know how to U block. The dada sound can be made easily when you lip purse and almost as easily when you tongue block. It's slightly harder when you TB because your tongue is already doing something else--blocking--and has to adapt to the second demand.

@Modernbluesharmonica 14 лет назад

That's exactly what I did. Great minds think alike!

When You Do The Goldfish Thing Are You Exhaling Or Inhaling And The Exhaling?

@wildbill8547 16 лет назад

Adam, picked up on your reference to tooling around Norfold/Richmond with your mentor, Nat Riddles. I'm from Norfolk and I'm interested to know when you were there and where I might have seen you play. I know you're not from there because you pronounce it wrong (should be Naw F**k), so I'm wondering -- why the heck would you tool around that city?

@battlepro77 11 лет назад

can this lick can be used for the I chord in the blues even if your blowing during the lick?

@realmellomoka 15 лет назад

I was wondering about that too. Thing is, I don't like sweating. _-_ Are you bending the 2 a little bit before you slide to 3?

@Skelter84 14 лет назад

i dont wanna sound liek a total noob, but when i play i allways blow. should i be sucking insted. i think i need to like start over the way you have been showing me in these vids

@ericaltenloh278 7 лет назад

in wich key do you play ? tanks for replay

@Modernbluesharmonica 17 лет назад

See the FAQ's page at my website, modernbluesharmonica dot com

@Modernbluesharmonica 15 лет назад

Figure it out. Sweat over it for six months. Then take another six months and keep sweating. Eventually, if you have any talent at all, you'll get it. That's how every player who ever got good on the harp got good.

@DiAL033 15 лет назад

It looks so easy when you do it and it sounds like shit when I try it :}

@Doggieman1111 16 лет назад

just inhaling

@Modernbluesharmonica 15 лет назад

That's not the way I tongue block. I hit the comb of the harp straight on. Players tongue block in several different ways. Sounds like you need to lay down some cash and get a teacher who can answer these questions in detail.
