I've got a lesson specifically focusing on the 3 draw bend at Modern Blues Harmonica (see "the store")

Hey man, do you ever play the whole, guitar and harmonica at the same time sorta thing? It would be great to see a lesson as detailed and insightful as these on the multitasking techniques

Hi, Adam. My name is G from Korea. It was my first visit to your show and it was awesome!! Could you be a little more specific

on the 4th overblow? I find it pretty hard to do so. Anyways, keep up your good work. I will tell my buddy about you.(There are 2 professional blues harp players here in Korea, believe it or not)

You rock!!

[KudzuRunner]

Visit overblow dot com, where you'll find a discussion of how to create overblows. I discuss how to create overblows in an earlier video.

Hey, man, great method!

Could you do/say something about the Big Walter's "sound"

(like Annie Raines, in example)?

Thanks, keep the good work.

[KudzuRunner]

Big Walter played fairly simple stuff brilliantly. His sense of time and swing were fantastic. Sometimes he hits bang! right on the downbeat; sometimes he anticipates (the early 50s stuff from Memphis). BW's "blue third" is the one I modeled my own after. ("Have a Good Time," w/Carey Bell)

Thanx Adam,

again a great Roshi teaching. Even for me as a rookie.

I wonder how all these Harp players produce such a fat

and nasty tone. Are there any tricks how to do this?

I started playing a few weeks ago, inspired by a song with Mark Ford called "Mellow down easy".

Keep this good thing going and a deep gassho (which means something like great respect in buddhist terms).

Hi Adam, thank you very much for your videos man, I'm a beginner learning a lot with them. Which book or resource do you recommend to learn blues music theory? I'm looking forward to see you in Europe!

[KudzuRunner]

See the very last item in my FAQ's at modernbluesharmonica dot com

Another great lesson. thanks Adam

Your portrait of Nat will be in your hands soon. MH

[BlueVooch]

Hey Aam, thanks for the lesson. Five more days in the woodshed, in the Green Mountains of Vermont and I think I'll have the licks to your "Thunky Fing". With your permission, I even might consider posting my first video for your perusal. p.s. keep 'em coming

[KudzuRunner]

Yes! Bring it on.

[Mueleski]

Thanks again for the lesson.

Hey Adam...Looking forward to meeting you on my birthday at the Bean Blossom Blues Fest in a few months! I've got a "quick" question....what exactly are you doing with your tongue and throat starting at 3:20 to get the tongue-block-like sound? Thanks for the help!

[KudzuRunner]

Nothing with my throat. I uploaded two YT videos about tongue-blocking. Have you seen them? They're in the mid-50's, number-wise.

[axvxia]

Are you doing the "Adam Gussow" tongue blocking alternative or honest-to-God tongue-on-the-wood tongue blocking? Again, thanks!

[KudzuRunner]

I'm putting my tongue on the wood.
