Modern Blues Harmonica 132 - Ray Charles 2

Second in a mini-series about how RC's music can inspire a blues harp player eager to grow. Here, Gussow finishes up "Rockhouse" and works his way into "What'd I Say."

For a series of skill-graded video tutorials and tab sheets focused on classic blues harmonica repertoire--including "What'd I Say"--go to:

'What I'd Say' was one of the first full lessons I bought last year and I was hooked to MBH. Every time I pull that one out I get quite a reaction. Thanks Adam!

Great! Yes, I guess I should let people know that there is indeed a full-length lesson on that song, including a tab sheet, at Modern Blues Harmonica. Glad to know it worked for you.

i get it but im better at learning by ear than people trying to explain it to me i understand the harmonica is an invisible instrument you can't really see what a person is doing and everybody who trys to explain it always gets lost and says wait know it was this this and this my bad but tabs i get tabs so you should think about writing the tabs out posting them than play the music for people to play along to then break it down in musical theory so that people will understand what there playing.

Adam,

You are one Hell of at teacher. I'm on my second time through your vids and I can guarantee you I'll be back through them at least a third time. I couldn't touch this the first time. I can get 80% of everything this time around. Please don't stop your instruction. It's worth its weight in gold.

I love Ray and I love your videos Adam, did I zone out or did you cut out switching from a C to an A harp? Or was it just a slip of the tongue? Heh. Keep up the great work, really inspires me to play harp but I'm still kinda on the fence about it. I do love my blues though, piano and guitar- I'll leave the harpin' to you...for now at least ;)
