Blues Harp From the Crossroads (Gussow.026)



Uploaded by: KudzuRunner
Video Description:
Another late night Mississippi conversation about the journey to be taken by any blues harmonica pilgrim in search of self-improvement: obsessional practice in the woodshed; which harp keys to start out with and which to add as you go; who to listen to and what to strive for. Brief examples from "Creeper Creeps Again" and "Key to the Highway."

Well, the flu was givin' ya a nice gravely quality to your voice, huh?*L*..Sorry you were sick. I have just started to learn the harp, and I am loving it. The breath control you have to have is amazing! I get dizzy! I really enjoyed the lesson, thank you for posting. You are AWESOME!
Hey Adam. Great ... ( 1 year ago by grimesn)
Hey Adam. Great clip. In the little tongue-blocking example of Little Walter's that you play in this clip are you using 'phantom' tongue-blocking? You seem to get real bite that I can't get from normal tongue-blocking.

I took the plunge ... ( 11 months ago by mortydude)
I took the plunge and bought a harp in every key. I got some Lee Oskars and Hohner Special 20's at Jon Gindick's recommendation. I also got an A harp made by Bushman. It bends fairly easy and don't have much to complain about it. I had my first gig doing a couple songs at a retirement ceremony in Afghanistan. I had a full band backing me up and all I did was put together some riffs. The crowd loved it. Spread your wings and have fun!

Nice to hear you give Paul Butterfield his props. (He's my first and foremost influence, still). I'm SO tired of the "just copied Little Walter" rag.

Can I meet you on Old Sardis and Rte 105?
Wolf played fairly ... ( 2 weeks ago by KudzuRunner)
Wolf played fairly simple harp, but brilliantly. Nothing fancy. But deep, distinctive tone--pull your tongue back in your mouth, down into your throat, for his vibrato--and I wouldn't change a thing.
