Adam, I got to tell you, you know how to entertain, dude. I love it!!!!, I play a pretty mean ass guitar, and a little blues harp. but you make me want to give everything up for the harmonica. Rock on my man.

High Adam,

I just found your videos some weeks ago. I´m 54 years living, and it took a long time to find my way, doing Harp all the time, without understanding. Many playalongs with the great, all time wondering, what´s the difference. It´s: go thrugh the lessons. But i never found some, till yet. I hope, i live double time from now, practicin´every day, then imagin´, what i could give to the world, cause of you..

Thanks a lot

Bluewb

[Gibson889]

really great lesson, I know how to play but I can't ever understand the progressions and things, something I need to work on

[LouisNiques]

Will you do Stormy Monday, too? Great jam tracks!

[KudzuRunner]

Yes! I need to get back to business and finish up the jam tracks. Thanks for reminding me.

[LouisNiques]

With only a C harp I can just jam to "Swing in G" and "Stormy Monday" (in 2nd position) Thus I am curious what you are going to do with "Stormy Monday" ;-)

[happachu]

Bless you Adam. You never stop reminding us about how it's gotta be fun but controlled at the same time. I still go wild a little too much. heh heh

[chromaticfarmer]

You are tripping out again with this skateboard stuff.

But you are doing some serious practicing yourself here. And showing us all how to do it.

Thanks for bearing our sins so artfully.

[mottag8830]

Adam, could you write out the chords to the song because I don't know if i fully understand the progression

[KudzuRunner]

I I I I / IV IV IV IV / I I I I / I I I I

IV IV IV IV / IV IV IV IV / I VIImaj VIIb7 VI7 /

V V V V / IV IV IV IV / I I VI7 VI7 / II7 II7 V7 V7

All I and IV chords can be ninths or 13ths

Hello Adam, I'll get soon my new harpgear and I'm like a child waiting his new toy! I don't deserve this nice gear but as soon as I'll be able to express myself trough my microphone, I'll post you something. I'm going to practice in the forest with your jam tracks in mp3 format.I assure you that the trees of Switzerland will be surprised!

Thanks a lot!

[mcdookus]

I'm sitting here with a huge smile. I absolutely love this style and when you start playing at 5:35 I'm blown away. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. I could listen to you jamming all day. This lesson answered a few questions I had especially the 'to blue third or not to blue third' question. Cheers Sir Adam. You are a Legend

[OzzyCoop]

When you guys started playing did you ever have that thing where you get embarassed if people hear you practice and it makes you not want to practice even though you really want to? Kind of silly I guess. I even freeze up in front of my best friend.I love music and want to create music, not just listen. I actually get clammy and sweaty but as far as I know nobody can hear me. I have always wrestled with this thing. I just can't seem to get over it.

[KudzuRunner]

That's a great question. Yes: I talk about this at every clinic. It's crucial to create a woodshed situation for yourself--a safe space in which you can cut loose and don't need to worry about who is listening. Once you've got that, you can choose when and how to move outside the woodshed. This is a key issue. Solve it by any means necessary.

[OzzyCoop]

I never knew that is what you meant by "woodshed". hmm

[ElizabethGS]

Ozzy..woodshedding is, basically 'practicing'..(guys used to go out to the woodshed to play out of earshot of anyone else, lol)...but I get what he's saying because I'm exactly like you! I can play the heck out of anything ..when I'm alone. Even my best friend being an audience causes me to turn to jelly. I've only played for an audience twice, now..and I was a quivering mess. I'm tired of being told to shrug it off...At least Adam seems to understand that it's a real issue for some of us.

@OzzyCoop do what i have done if your living with parent{s} buy a cheap 3 berth caravan it's perfect, people next door hear you and so does your perant{s} but they all say what they think and at first their like bloody hell your noisy at half 1 in the morning and so on but 6 months later they tell you that your improving and that you sound like the music your playing {i play along to sonny terry} and this has made me feel better about playing in front of people. in a caravan nobodys looking!

[silvermediastudio]

@OzzyCoop Booze does wonders. But only if you're of legal age, don't drive or operate heavy machinery, and enjoy in moderation.

[MisterPignose]

Meaty lesson!

[B1uesUp]

This just blew me away! Excellent lesson Adam.

All the very best

[kokoro86]

Definitely love the octaves, Adam!

Still workin' out how to use those in regular playing..

Always a pleasure.
