Modern Blues Harmonica - Harp Websites (Gussow.038)

Satan and Adam harpist Gussow talks about his own youthful journey into the blues, surveys three excellent blues harmonica websites, and talks about the purpose of this channel. Bonus: Gussow plays the head of "Morning Song," an unrecorded original in the spirit of Sonny Rollins's "St. Thomas." UPDATE: in response to overwhelming popular demand, I have created my own harp website, MODERN BLUES HARMONICA:

How much are YOU paying for marine band these days?

[KudzuRunner]

@tictoctictoc07: It varies. I'm a Hohner endorser. Sometimes I buy direct from them for $21.50. Sometimes I buy from Rebel Music here in Oxford for around $29. Sometimes I phone up Rockin' Ron's and get them for somewhere in between those two rates.

Your turn. How much do you pay?

[brujo927]

I most definitely am interested in seeing songs you have tabbed

[KudzuRunner]

Well, there are a lot of them! Go to "the store" at Modern Blues Harmonica (dot) com. The hundreds of emails (literally) that I've gotten tell me that my way of tabbing--and teaching my tabs--produces remarkable results.

You have a horrible haircut

hello adam! first of all, thank you for these precious lessons! they're just awesome..

I'm confused about the harp-type.. you said, special 20s don't have a good sound, hohner marine bands are okay! i have a "hohner special 20 marine band"..is that the special 20 you're talking about? because I felt comfortable with it and bought a few of them.. after seeing this lesson, I'm afraid that I've thrown my money down the drain.. (In switzerland a harp costs nearly $50 and i'm a "poor" student ^^)

Very cool philosophy.. A lesson in Tao.. If you want to contain something, you must let it expand;Give it away.

Should you want to take something away, you must first grant it full access. It is called the lesson of obscurity

I like your style.

I need to check your website out.

@KudzuRunner

Gosh......l bought my first marine band (but not my first harp) for around $40, which I bought at the guitar center in Fayetteville, Arkansas last year. I think thats what i paid for it. Harp prices up here in Missouri must be crazy.
