Re: Blues Harp From the Crossroads (Gussow.037)

It's my first video on Youtube, so be patient. I'm playnig a shuffle from Adam Gussow's vid number 037 (many thanks for the lessons :)). I am still a begginer (playing six months) but I'm trying.

It's a A key (Hohner special 20). Adam Gussow plays it on Bb flat but I like that deep sound of A harp and I haven't got Bb flat :). Basic riff is:

-3-4(together), 4, 3(but u can play -2), -3-4(together), -2, -123, 123, 123, -123, -1, ---2, -2, -3, -2, -123, 123, 123, -123. "-" indicates draw hole and "---" big bend(one tone). You have to use blue third(Adam expain it in his great lessons).

If you want to learn this song you have to watch Adam's vid :). My version is little odd.

@just4digginthis Thank you for positive feedback :), canned heat is my favourite band, i tried to learn "on the road again", but there are some harp solos in the middle and it was too hard. Unfortunately i stopped playing harp and now I play the bass guitar. have a nice day

My hats off 2u. Obviously your what they call a natural. I know I should be practicing or taking notes or something but your just 2 darn easy on the eyes not 2 mention u inspire me personally by your playing. "the boy cant help it" .Right? Hey do u remember a band from the 60's "Canned Heat?" They modify the 6th reed to sharpen the note. I believe it was in the key of "C" They were famous 4 "On The Road Again"???? sumtimes the old broken down harp sounds better than a new one. ur  alright!!

I think it´s pretty amazing o_O I´ve been playing for about a year, but i have trouble with blues (which ironically is what i really want to play). Could you please send me the tabs and the key of the harmonica you´re using if you have some time? thanks a lot in advance =)
