Blues Harp From the Crossroads (Gussow.037)

Also: an open invitation to the first Satan and Adam gig in NYC in nine years: Friday June 1, 2007 at Terra Blues (149 Bleecker St. in the Village), 7 PM.

great harp material.

Come to belgium, here you can taste some real beers.

That dutch beer is realy bad.

[KudzuRunner]

I love Belgium. I love frites and chocolate. I just don't like Duvel. That is WEIRD for a guy who played with Mr. Satan for 12 years, I know. Duvel/Devil....

Perhaps this has been covered before, but could you please share your views on what you think is the best harp make? I have a Hohner Blues Band (key D) and I'm not entirly satisfied with it. For example it's two hole draw plays an E-flat :( It's also quite hard to bend...

[KudzuRunner]

If the 2 draw on your D harp--which should be an A-note--plays an E-flat, which is to say, a diminished fifth away from what it SHOULD be playing, either you or the harp, or both, are in serious trouble!

wish I was in the states right now!

greetings from Amsterdam, Holland

[KudzuRunner]

I had a wonderful time as a busker in Amsterdam in 1986--at the Leidseplain, at the Malo Melo blues bar. Draft Heinecken in the pubs of Amsterdam is probably the best beer in the world.

middle eastern mary had a little lamb, lmfao! that is awesome. hahaha, seriously that is just too much man, freaking great.

@KudzuRunner Duvel is awesome, its something you learn to drink like guiness.

Try Tiple Karmeliet in Belgium (best beer of the world in 2008) ;)

Great! Fantastic. I really enjoy your lesson from Japan. I am lerning blues harp recentlly at the same time playing in my band along with my vocals.Your video is very good. I look forward to seeing next lesson.

[LordAzus]

Haha, mr. Gussow knows Duvel ^^ Awesome!

But we have all sorts of beer so no problem there, choice enough ;)

ADAM NORSWORTHY, AMAZING!!!!

[Curlysblues]

Adam,

I've had a blast with your great lessons!

"Dark Adam" is genius -- a great contrast to "Bright Adam" :)

[belleray2]

when moving through those quick changes,is it tongue or diaphram controlling the rifts?breathing seems to be a major contributer to clear tone.
