Satan and Adam at Mr. Gip's - "Fever" (2008)

Satan and Adam (Sterling Magee and Adam Gussow, with Dave Laycock on drums) play an old torch song in a smoky juke joint in Bessemer, Alabama.

If you're interested in learning "Fever" as Gussow plays it, there's a video tutorial and tab sheet available at Modern Blues Harmonica:

Adam, did you ever consider doing this in 3rd? What are the advantages of 2nd?

Keep up the good work, dude

3rd postion would definitely be the default option in this. Since I overblow, and since I'm much more fluent in 2nd position, I found it easier this way. But you've got to hold down those pesky little thirds: avoid the 7 draw, the uninflected 3 draw, etc.

Goddamnit!!! you hit the sweet spot right there! do you have a lesson on this one??? this song is so freakin'good!

[KudzuRunner]

Yes, I've got a lesson at Modern Blues Harmonica, based around exactly what I play here. Google "Fever," "Gussow," and "tradebit"

Great groove! Love it- very soulful and right in the pocket.

I must admit I'm slightly disappointed that the video ends a bit abruptly.

[KudzuRunner]

Great! That means I've done my job as a blues instructor.

Is that because you can't get away with those notes if a tune's minor, but you can when it's major?

[dylansdisciple1]

YEAH!!!!!! Little Walter would be proud!

[warrcrew]

hahahahaha

[KFDonny]

Listening to this, I say you haven't lost much in the intervening decades, and neither has Satan. Beautiful.
