Blues Harp is subtlety and no one teaches it like Adam Gussow. Thanks for these ,machine, lessons Adam.

@sopleto 17 лет назад

Thanks Adam, i saw 1-8 lessons and you answer so many questions! You are very clare, and i love your thinking about the harp like a machine to explain the differences between the sounds that you made. thannks!!!!!

@N62KNM 17 лет назад

Hi Boss. I don't know if you realise what a great lesson this is. To me it has taken me out of a rut I didn't know I was in regarding was in regarding breathing patterns while playing rhythm. Everyone of your lessons open new vistas for me. Many thanks, please keep 'em coming

Hi Adam Just wanted to thank you.You are a great teacher.Brilliant music, keep up the videos-they are fantastic.

@Modernbluesharmonica 15 лет назад

It's called "Winter Blues" and it was published in Harper's in April 1995. It's the leadoff piece in my new-ish book, JOURNEYMAN'S ROAD: MODERN BLUES LIVES FROM FAULKNER'S MISSISSIPPI TO POST-9/11 NEW YORK, which I've linked on my website, Modern Blues Harmonica. ("Adam's books" page)

@drm107 11 лет назад

Wow finally got it.. Slow, but now I'll just practice and speed it up. It's the same deal with other instruments, like learning a specific right hand rhythms for a guitar. Eventually it clicks. So I though Id mention what was blocking me: 1) I noticed I was doing the 'tuca' blowing out. So it broke the rhythm. 2) I realized it's really short; I was trying to play a longer riff, but its actually repeating quickly (there is a small variation though, I'll pick that up improvising later)

@cestlagvie 11 лет назад

after three days practicing on night... i see is not impossible... Awsome

@hansbaank 17 лет назад

Heee Adam !!! You are a devil on the harp! You get me out of my harp dip. I was stuck, but coming out of it now. Thanks . Hans from The Netherlands

@k0vert 15 лет назад

i like this guy; very well-spoken yet still feelin it...

@ckpyron 14 лет назад

WOW! Awesome lesson, Adam. I've watched this one at least a dozen times now, beat the tab to death, and then WHAM! It clicked in tonight about midnight (which thrilled my wife none BTW). Thanks soooo much for all this great info out here. Sorry I missed your clinic in OK last month. Hopefully I'll catch another one soon.

@DocM. 6 месяцев назад

That sure looked like the 1986 Crossroads tree for a moment! 8:12 I wish we coulda had a break down on that Shwoopdee Woop right there! 😂 I wish you had a lesson for that whole jam at the end! As always thank you and love you for everything you've done and taught us ❤

@blackktieguy 10 лет назад

I've been playing for quite some time and never thought to open my mouth that much. Very useful technique.

@timwoodville4502 12 лет назад

very cool, a snappy pattern, its an over and over for me to pick this up. but not gonna stop till i get it. have to close the door to my room, the wife is getting tired of hearing me repeat this. thanks adam for the lessons.

@Modernbluesharmonica 17 лет назад

Billy and Sopleto: Thanks! I appreciate the kind words, and I don't take them for granted.

@danieldrumsfreites 17 лет назад

you are an xcellent teacher and a good man. thanks a lot from caracas,venezuela.

@deathoxy 12 лет назад

THANK YOU ADAM. For the first time when i tried to copy your playing at the end of the lesson, i was a bit lost, but after numerous tries i downloaded this video on my computer, played it 2x slower, and found what i was looking for. Basically you're maintaining the rhythm by timed sequences of double-chords at offbeats, either blown of drawn, everything else is single notes. Knowing what is happening made this a lot easier. Anyway, all this felt sort of a good puzzle with the reward in the end )

@Modernbluesharmonica 15 лет назад

You've got the right approach.

@TheCreedBratton 14 лет назад

thanks adam for all you do for us! keep up the good work

@chingpow2 14 лет назад

i can't believe youre in oxford! me and my buds drove down old sardis every day to go to the lake, very weird but i love your lessons, maybe we'll run into eachother next time im down there

@jonathaneguy 16 лет назад

Man this is a cool concept. . . Like the Endless Summer for blues harp. I've really enjoyed the last couple of videos. Jonathan

@Modernbluesharmonica 16 лет назад

Thanks, SK. I'm glad you let me know--and I'm glad my year's work has helped give you something new and useful to play with.

@Qwante 17 лет назад

this is the best! thank you soooo much! best regards from Sweden

@ChristienGagnier 9 лет назад

A very interesting video. I love your enthusiasm and desire to share the secrets of harmonica playing. I still can't play the riff like you but these things take time. I am glad the state troopers let you off with a warning :-).

@tommallais2328 6 лет назад

I just had a breaktrought yesterday after about 2 years of part time playing......i just learned how to breath correctly !!!! Remembered this video and i had to tell haha thanks for all the great lessons 😊

@yoncofi 14 лет назад

No puedo parar de sonreir... eres un grande Adam, muchas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos, haré lo mejor que pueda. GRACIAS!!!

@Modernbluesharmonica 16 лет назад

It really varies. In this particular rhythm, I don't believe I'm tonguing. You need to try it both ways and see which feels and sounds right to your ears.

@MuriloHarmonica 17 лет назад

Gussow i find you the harmonica man...you really know how to teach,you have the skills,i think you can teach you past idols now..i've been playing harmonica for 3 months and your videos made me improve 500% my harmonica play,you are keeping the blues up...is there anyway to send you a contribution as a post or something as a thank for the really good tips...hope u have time to reply to this...keep the blues alive. take care

Thank you for your videos

@harmonicanoobs6123 9 лет назад

What was that lick towards the end of the video half way through him playing I need to know it ahhhhhh

@jrhorowitz 17 лет назад

Adam, that was incredibly helpful. I've been trying to figure out how Sonny played that lick. Very eye-opening! Let me know if you're playing in NYC anytime.

@Rouxloubac 14 лет назад

I would love to meet you and t have as a friend but the world is well done and thank you to some free videos on the internet and you tube ... Thank you thank you thank you. Good teacher ... Brice

@12barz 17 лет назад

Sooooooo useful. Yes!

@colecut 17 лет назад

thank you so much

@Modernbluesharmonica 17 лет назад

You've got great ears. Yes, I do do that. It's the fruit of practice, but it's not something I consciously do anymore. And it does make a difference.

@Modernbluesharmonica 17 лет назад

Good. My hope was that the information I'm sharing would have just this effect. Stay tuned.

@The.Chiefman 17 лет назад

This stuff is Gold Keep it up

@josephmaw 17 лет назад

Cheers Adam. wish every teacher was as in depth as you, I think most players forget that they too were once beginers.not you though. keep the vids coming, plz try pik up where u left vid 7.thanx.Joseph.England

@Learntheharmonica 8 лет назад

So good it's almost illegal!

@Modernbluesharmonica 17 лет назад

Thanks guys, all of you. I'm just doing my best to spread the word. Please check out MrHilbert, which is the new channel for my good buddy and guitar-man, Charlie Hilbert.

@ColorsMusicRecord 17 лет назад

soon we will see ourselves in the competition in BOSTON ...edwin amorfy

@strawwoodclaw 16 лет назад

Dylan mainly plays Straight Harp. Blues players play in Cross position so you would be bending the notes on your C harp to G unlike Bob. I would try bending notes & practice simple tunes like Jingle bells or when the saints . until you know your way around the harp.

@evanstheframe 17 лет назад

Hi Adam, so pleased to have found your lessons. After giving up hope of playing I now want to play every day thanks to you. Is there any chance you could put up the tab for the turn around you play on this lesson? I cant get it, I think it starts 1D 4D 5B 6B but I then lose it. If you could find the time to put that up I would be very grateful. Keep up the great work.

@Modernbluesharmonica 16 лет назад

It's a rhythm by Sonny Terry, more or less. It's called "Sonny's Squall." Try iTunes.

@Modernbluesharmonica 17 лет назад

Ahhh: because it's tricky. There really aren't any shortcuts. It took me a good long time to have the several breakthroughs necessary to be able to feel and play it.

@bladesaint21 13 лет назад

*LOL* EXCELLANT!!!!!!..Love this!

@Doggieman1111 16 лет назад

how cool is this vid

@Modernbluesharmonica 15 лет назад

Good question. If you keep struggling to find the answer, your body will slowly reveal it to you.

@Modernbluesharmonica 17 лет назад

I'm happy to know that I've got some viewers in Hong Kong. RU-vid is a great thing.

@Modernbluesharmonica 15 лет назад

See the "more info" tab, above R.

@pe003 14 лет назад

Look kind of like home in the weald during the summer

@Modernbluesharmonica 17 лет назад

You are too generous, but I'm glad to know the Gussow method of harp-attack teaching is getting through.

@MuriloHarmonica 16 лет назад

Hi Adam i need ur help if u watch buddy greene the first 2 video he plays if u type Buddy greene called "Classical Medley" By Buddy Greene (HARMONICA)this is beautiful i guess ur pupils would love to learn these 2 songs too,just wonder if u have the break down of them? big hello from london thanks a lot

@genemir 16 лет назад

thank you very much.. will any 10hole diatonic harp do? and do i still need to adjust the reeds like he said? thanks

@Buzzman1949 14 лет назад

Is the 123 tuca after the initial 2 hole draw a blow or draw?

@clrn2mt 16 лет назад

Adam, do you tongue the exhales? My exhales do not sound good. I would say they suck, but that would be rather confusing.

@jp_engineer 6 лет назад

5:16 - You mean the top of the tongue? or the middle like in bend? I'm trying. Thank you so much

@Modernbluesharmonica 16 лет назад

You need an A harp to jam with a guitarist playing in E.

@Modernbluesharmonica 17 лет назад

Hasn't healed yet. Good thing I've got a harp in my hand.

@k0vert 15 лет назад

haha "well well well, mista state troopa"

@bassinjasson 16 лет назад

Yeah you can. you should be able to play this in any key of harp

@strawwoodclaw 16 лет назад

Hi Mr Pignose. Why are you called Mr Pignose is it to do with the Amps. I bought a pignose G40V as i heard they was good harp amps but it was unusable nothing but feedback & sounded poor - sounded good with my friends guitar.

@Modernbluesharmonica 17 лет назад

Well, cross harp on a C harp would put the band in G. If you're skilled, you can also play that C harp in D--good for funk and minor blues--and C. But G is the obvious place to start.

@genemir 16 лет назад

can you play this on a C harp?

@Modernbluesharmonica 17 лет назад

Yes. This is why I'm spreading the gospel. Bad harp players are a threat to civilization--as least as guitarists understand it.

@lguapogreengo 10 лет назад

great! what key?

@SuperGilfred 9 лет назад

B flat.. C will work too

@Modernbluesharmonica 16 лет назад

Sounds like you need to visit my website, Modern Blues Harmonica dot com

@Modernbluesharmonica 15 лет назад

It doesn't have a name. It's something I made up on the spot.

@SuperGilfred 9 лет назад

I'm not gonna lie the first 100 times I watched this video it pissed me off more and more and I started to dislike you. Then one day I got high and I watched it again.. All of a sudden it ALL made sense. Especially the part where you talk about the machine language and how they don't tell you the important aspects that make the most difference. After trying this riff for s month straight and having trouble all it took was that one break through. I now think you're a genius. But if you or anyone could help me I'm looking for the tabs for D12 purple pills, the harmonica at the end, and j. Jefferson black harmonica.. That's would be awesome..
