Hello Adam,

I just cant figure out what you are playing, even when i follow your explenation, can you write the tab please?

It would mean alot to me..

Thanks

If you google "john lee hooker gussow tradebit pdf" you'll find the tab sheet that I've worked up for this. It costs $2. There's also a video lesson that goes into much more detail, for $5. John lee hooker gussow tradebit .mov

What an outstanding player and teacher: utterly inspirational, thanks!

[KudzuRunner]

Thanks. Spread the word!

Adam - ok, intermediate here - I'm working on this with you - making progress but not sure of a few notes you're playing - I'm usually not a big tab guy (more a feel-guy) but can you tab this riff for some extra guidance?

Thanks to you - I'm getting bluesier!

[KudzuRunner]

I did tab it. It's a video + tab in "the store" at Modern Blues Harmonica (dot) com called "John Lee Hooker's Boogie Blues."

It amazes me that some people have the audacity to make derogatory comments (on the first page)toward individuals who take the time to help people out with free lessons. Come on, how about a simple thanks.

This is a great lesson, excellent player. Keep up the good work. Thanks

PRO TIP: If you are asking for the tab, you're in the wrong place.

[chrisdavies23359]

amazing, thank you

[clementejazz]

Thanks a lot for the time you spent explaining all this. I couldn't get your album in france but I bought it online from amazon. Great music!

Great lick!! I love your honesty!Thank's!

@crookedstixz Try to listen more closely to what he's playing. Feel it. Connect it to your harp, and when you have the sound internalized, you will find you can play it. Listen, listen, listen. Then play. Tabs are not necessary.

[silvermediastudio]

@mightyfool1 Listen more, tab less.

[ezzthemc]

This is a bad ass lick!! I gotta master this.

Thanks Adam

[crookedstixz]

@mightyfool1 hi adam,please dood show some tabs,written is easier to follow.all you good guys helping us try hards need to show the written info



[jamsock55]

@camstheman1 maybe you should just put your harp down and maybe think about taking up a diffirent instriment, adam is one of the best teachers out there and if you cant learn from him then you are an idiot.

This is great teaching Adam, it is right down to the detail.
