Modern Blues Harmonica - Improvisation 1 (Gussow.039)

And now for something completely different: core principles for the developing blues harpist drawn from Jungian depth psychology and New Age soul ministry. Gussow explores the first of three archetypes--warrior, lover, painter--that govern soulful improvisation.

If you'd like to purchase a copy of my new solo album, KICK AND STOMP (2010), please hit the following link. Only $10 for 14 tracks of harp-powered one-man band music, all for instant download. Liner notes included!:

that was an amazing improvisation in the beginning

I'm impressed that Jung is incorporated in this lesson. The harmonica used to appeal to my persona and ego, now it appeals to shadow and trickster archetype. In my musical journey I anticipate the harp and Blues culture to be discovered as integrated with my SELF archetype. Thanks for the lesson. Also, I just purchased the "Turnarounds" lesson from Modern Blues Harmonica store and it aided in the elevation of my playing in a matter of minutes. I recommend it!

Awesome improvisation!

I've a doubt, is it E flat major? minor? don't know too much =(

[Clearie28]

Hmm... The warrior metaphor is a good one. The aggression is there. But the skill required to bring that agression out as a coherent, interesting piece of music is something that takes good skill and practise...

Well. At least theres something to aim for!

[guitarsalert]

awsome man!

[daunis]

i am or want to be a better warrior , a lover and a painter...
