Perfect. I teach the same to my vocal, piano, and guitar students. Lil' Smokey Smothers teased a young man at Rosa's in Chicago many years ago. "Do you have sex like that?" "You get on for 3 minutes go real fast then look up and see if she liked it?" Then he went on to show his prowess with slow trills and tremolos, ending with "you gotta play like you are going to be up in here all night long". The inbetween I didn't dare write, but had the ladies screaming and laughing both. And he is right.
@gussowsclassicbluesharmoni2726
Yes! You're exactly right. That IS the lesson, as the old-school guys tried to communicate it.

Priceless words, which are useful not only in the context of music. I'm not a guitar/harmonica virtuoso, but taking my time to be better and better and feeling the groove.

Hi Adam, I, as a beginner on harmonica but a hobby player of a couple of other instruments over many years, greatly appreciate your sharing of knowledge with everyone. I especially dig the "one on one" feel of your teachings. Though I am much too old to have the time to become anywhere near pro level, I most certainly do have the "Feel" of the blues in my blood and soul. For me to finish out my time with late nights in a blues dimension of harmonica, bourbon and buddies, would be the ultimate send-off -- but I'll take my time getting there! You keep being you, brother. Thank you from the "harp"! John W
@gussowsclassicbluesharmoni2726
You've got the right attitude and will definitely get there.

Helluva good lesson. Funny this came up in my feed cause I just worked on this very thing on an original tune my band does. My second to last rehearsal I was so gung ho on the song that I overplayed way to early...and proceeded from there. It didn't fit...or didn't serve the song. I broke it down to the simple melody, playing minimally, and ended up embellishing very little,but focusing on better tone and vibrato. Doing "less is more" but getting more out of less. Over 3 nights I refined my runs, and Saturday played exactly to the tune and tone of the song and singer. It was a few evenings of hard work and dissections but next gig I'll be very confident with what I have to lay down. Thanks for reiterating what I worked on all week. Great lesson.

The best advice I ever got as a harp player by my Old mentor Tall Richard. He said you need to calm down and stay on beat. Nice lesson Adam !

I recently broke a developmental plateau, thanks to a couple of videos by Howard Levy and Jason Ricci respectively. As excited as I am about that _Next Level_ development, I have _also_ realized, in the last couple of weeks, that developing my _technical_ proficiency sometimes comes at the cost of neglecting the _expressive_ elements of the music. Since realizing that, I've been consciously forcing myself to start _simply_ and build _slowly._ This lesson supports that effort beautifully...particularly your mention of _intentionally leaving space._ THANKS!!! Side Note: My martial arts journey has led me to realize that everything _on the way_ to Black Belt is just to lay a foundation, so you can _start_ learning the really good stuff! P.S. Once, at a workshop, I saw Lee Oskar, Magic Dick, Mark Hummel, and Jerry Portnoy all jamming together. Taking turns in the order I just listed, the first three all threw down their best licks for about four choruses each. Then, Jerry Portnoy locked eyes with Magic Dick, took a big breath, and hit the 9 Hole Blow...and held it for two full choruses! The _anticipation_ that built was...well...returning to the martial arts analogy, he knocked out everyone in the room (on stage and in the audience) with one perfectly placed, perfectly timed punch!

I've been in a couple of bands in NC, and just moved back from Jax, FL... Already being recruited again as a rare instrument since I've been back, playing at open mics... I learned so much from your lessons about technique and embouchure... Guitar is easy, by comparison, and I say that because I've learned to play guitar... I couldn't give you enough appreciation for what I've learned from you... People meet me with a guitar, but I have to remind everyone that I'm a harp player, not a guitarist... Mad props, bro, for helping me and so many others!
@gussowsclassicbluesharmoni2726

I got recommended some of your old vids and ever since I’ve been binging a lot of your lessons and other vids, man these ain’t just any Harmonica lessons they’re straight up life lessons hahah. Got a little fender blues deluxe and toyed with It for a bit, after a few of your vids I got a Bb Hohner special 20, fast forward a few weeks I just dropped 90 on another hohner in c 😅 my early days have been very fun due to your videos. Taking my time is the best advice you can have as a beginner hahah, just starting off with being able to play the single notes clearly

@S.h-comma.to.the.top-Dynasty
Hey Adam, I’m a beginner but I feel as though I’ve gotten into something of a rut lately. I started playing two and a half months ago. It feels like all I’m doing is playing simple melodies and I’m not really grooving. I’m working on my bends. They aren’t very good, but that’s to be expected for 2 months. I think my main problem is I don’t have a very good ear since this is my first instrument. What are some ways I can keep things fresh, and learn not to be so tab-dependent? I really want to eventually be able to improv 12 bar blues solos. Thanks!

I don't know the name of the short story... Irish I think, about landscape work. It was set doing landscape work at a rich man's house. The head groundskeeper had been working there for years. He'd never really talked to the owner except for 'do this, do that'. They always worked slow and steady. One day they had a new hire. He worked faster. They told him to slow down, but he didn't. At the end of the day the owner pulled the the head worker aside and had tea with him. It was his way of breaking the news to him that he was fired and that he was giving the young kid the job. Of course, the young kid only kept the job a few weeks. He was fast, but he didn't know what to do with that speed. You need to know which ones are flowers and which ones are weed. /Another short story, about a boss who kept pushing his farm worker to work faster. One day he went out to work with him to show him the pace he wanted. (Of course, he was only working for a short burst.) They were moving hay from the barn. The worker had had enough, so he worked full speed from above and left the boss buried under hay. It's interesting how many short stories I've read about pacing work. A few just within the musical context too. Important lesson. :)

It’s almost scary to devote time into something that you might just throw away. I’ve been able to play a few minutes practice five days a week. It’s worth this small effort for the improvements (in technique, knowledge) u will make. You gotta carve out those minutes though if you have a day job or some other things going on. Sounds like a drag but that’s all subjective anyway. Best of luck.
@seedbankdkfrafrotilplante6342
It is easy to start. But a used harmonika and get going. The good ones ate built so it is almost impossible for it not to sound awesome and be fun. Them you just play and build more and more to it. Check this 3 laver harmonika out. In this yiu cant get air.. insane but easyJet to play by design.. Have some great playing time m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c_LRRs0UQBc.html
