I am Glad I found Both yours and Jason's lessons, they are great,However I am very interested in doing some over-blows and customizing harps for this can you at all give some more pointers ?

[KudzuRunner]

I covered this pretty thoroughly in one of my early lessons. Can somebody remind me which lesson?

[marcospokermail]

thanks adam that satan and nat was sweet. i love the guy

yelling "he showed you how to play?" your inspiring a whole generation w these videos. thanks again

[KudzuRunner]

Yes, your ears are good. A woman leaned over and asked me that as he began to throw down. If you pick up a copy of MISTER SATAN'S APPRENTICE, btw, you'll find that I've written about the Satan & Nat throw-down. As Huck Finn said of Mark Twain, I mostly told the truth--and I included that line.

This is a "beautiful" video. =p

[joshshuffman]

It wasn't the harmonica's fault you spilled a drink on it.  You shouldn't have thrown it into the Mississippi.....Dusk.

[RykaTMAA]

Gosh, that was such a clear explanation. Thank you! :)

I'm sitting here with my guitar and I'm pretty sure Miss You by the Stones is in the key of A not B.

I don't know if anyone's ever mentioned this to you but John Popper's favorite harp is his E. A lot of his songs use it like But Anyway and such. It's a pretty good harp for that funky high end second position stuff because it's a high enough key to make it easy to slide around but not too high that it sounds irritating. Great video, third position is my favorite, five stars
