Blues Harmonica Secrets Revealed (Gussow.010)

Mr. Satan's harp-boy plays a B-flat blues (with several extra beats thrown in--an idiosyncrasy of Mississippi blues musicians) and demonstrates the 4-hole-added variant on the "blue third."

@antoni7515 : I've got dozens of live performance clips on YouTube, actually. Just put my name in the search engine--starting with gussow crossroads blues......

Is it possible that there is one beat to many in the 7th bar???

It just doesnt feel right when I'm playing this..

Could be just me.. been playing for 6 months now..

[KudzuRunner]

Congratulations! You are absolutely right, I do this the first two times through--and you seem to be the first person who noticed that, or was bold enough to point it out. Please contact me through my YouTube channel and give me your email; I'll send you a free file or two.

Adam, this is an amazing journey! Although I have no rythem, I certainly enjoy trying to follow along! So, any advice on how to get the music in my head to make playing blues on my harp a little easier? Thanks again for your lessons.

Take a look at the Top-10 and Second-10 lists on my website, Modern Blues Harmonica. ("all-time greats"). Buy at least a few mp3s, or a full album, by each of the 20 people on that list. Play them constantly during the day and in the evening. Then tap your foot, find a simple riff or two, and keep the groove. It's simple. Give it 3 years.

Hi Adam. Been following your lessons for a couple of years but only playing with commitment for a short time. Your videos keep me coming back, now I´m hooked. I love the Bb harp, it just feels right. Low bends aren´t as hard as on the A, and the sound is great. This is one of my favourite "old" lessons. Glad you are still uploading and flying the flag!

Sounds like "Why Are People Like That?" from the Muddy Waters Woodstock album, featuring Mr. Butterfield on the harp... but you're playing the harp part and the guitar part and the vocals all together. I've heard you live several times, and like the way you play a whole song, chords, melody, solo all at one time. Very cool.

I love this little riff. I play it to warm up & build chops. Lotta fun! My 2 yr old nephew loves to dance to it too! LOL
