[Bageh]

Thats some nice shit man, thanks for the pleasure of hearing that. Salutes from brazil.

[chrisdavies23359]

I got my own website, but still put a link on for you if ya want.

[chrisdavies23359]

could you please post the tabs for this?

[fanniechiasson]

I got that too !

[ClassicPen]

I have always wanted to learn to play the harmonica, such a beautiful underestimated instrument. Just recently purchased my first one and your lessons are great cant wait to become better from your lessons, your awesome!

[sanox15]

I wanna play like this. That all I want. I've had a Harp for a while now but I've never really had the motivation to pick it up until I saw your video "front porch mississippi blues". It touched my soul and now all i want to do is play like that. My biggest issue is I'm having trouble finding a good starting point. can you help? I have a Hohner pro E harp, if that helps the answer any

[KudzuRunner]

@sanox15: You might take a look at the pages on my website, Modern Blues Harmonica, marked "quick start for beginners" and FAQs." You should get harps in the key of A for this particular video. You might check out the title cut of my album, "Kick and Stomp," in which I work this riff into a song using a Bb harp. If you're crazy enough for an immersion experience, you might come to Hill Country Harmonica 2011. (Google Hill Country Harmonica.)

[PurpleGummyBear]

You are so cool.....O_O

Can you make a CD and sell it? I will buy it in a heartbeat.

[KudzuRunner]

@PurpleGummyBear: I use the riff in the opening cut on my new CD, "Kick and Stomp." (The cut and the album are both called that.) Its' on iTunes and Amazon mp3s.

[gluzzo]

[toomyg155]

You make it look so easy!

Great video.

[JohnL9013]

I'm having trouble with the air on this one. Do you play with your nose open or sealed off?

[Zdenal626]

[NoblezadaXfan]

as far as i'm concerned yes!

[waddlesgee3]

[KudzuRunner]

Hohner Marine Band, key of A.

[liecron]

hi great harmonica playing, been following your vids for some time,have you seen the utube video darth vader feeling blue,were luke takes his dads helmet off and he plays an amazing harmonica riff,just wondering do you know who played this awsome song,ive been trying to find it but having no luck...

[KudzuRunner]

Sure, it's all over the web. Put "Darth" and "harmonica" into the YouTube search engine.

[CurlywurlyBooBoo]

Dude - it's Sonny Terry, country harp god. :)

[michelvn]

@liecron the harp player in the darth vader video is sonny terry

[Zo0oL89]

i couldent find it in mp3

[KudzuRunner]

I had it as an mp3, for sale, for quite a while, but I'm not sure it's still there. It's on the new Satan and Adam album, WORD ON THE STREET, a cut entitled "I Need Your Love." For sale at Modern Blues Harmonica.

[Acsemic]

Excelent!!!

Very good!! You are a terrific player!

Good bye!

Chino Benitez, From Argentina.

[NoblezadaXfan]

thanks gussow this riff broke me of my nasty habbit of breathing in through my nose while i play

-adam Summitt

[wartsucker1]

Adam...hello

luv ur vids but could u say which key this riff is in and name the holes (draw/blow) as u go along......and while I.m here may i ask why do we hav to ajust harps out of the box....they should work properly shouldn't they?????

and which keys are mainly used for blues ....

wart....

[NoblezadaXfan]

hes using a harp in the key of A...and the holes used mainly for blues would be the 1,2,3,and 4 holes

[NoblezadaXfan]

and the keys would be "A Bb C D F"

[martinblues22]

gracias ....en serio gracias

[dgrebin]

LOTS of draw work - I'm going to hyper-ventilate if I play this has long has you can... Wait I'm getting light headed... Get me a bag quick!

It's a great riff Adam but the breathing is a little tricky. Took a while but I can do for an extended period now... (Without passing out) Love it all day long!

[chaseb17]

Can you give us the tabs to this one?

[domokenji]

Adam

you the most! I;m gonna learn this and re-post it in your honor!!

[petro62]

Amazing stuff as always. I am nowhere near being able to play this stuff, but to see you break it down makes it seem possible lol. Great stuff and thanks for your hardwork.

[kokoro86]

Had to laugh at the eerily apt 'drowning' analogy.

I have totally been there!

It seem most time is spent on draw notes.

Can't wait for part 2.

Thanks again.

[renzor22]

Hello there Bro .. Nice Vid .. the only problem .. is that even that im trying and trying cant create music like yours ....=´(

[ilovecereal371]

I bought the mp3 and I must say that's one of the best spent $1.50 I've ever gotten the privilege of spending :D

Always enjoy these videos!

[DistantSoul13]

[KudzuRunner]

There's an excellent chance that Satan and Adam will play Philly in July/August 2008. If you've got a club, or a private party, let me know.
