For beginning blues harmonica players who have completed the first handful of lessons on my website and are ready to commit to the next step, here is a bargain: six video tutorials with the tab sheets thrown in for free. Your host is Adam Gussow of the blues duo Satan and Adam. Gussow is also the creator/webmaster of Modern Blues Harmonica and the host of "Adam Gussow's Dirty-South Blues Harp Channel" at YouTube.
The lessons in this collection, each of which is organized around a particular song, continue your education into the world of blues harmonica by teaching you a range of ways of moving through the 12-bar changes--the "blues progression." These include a boogie-woogie (Bittersweet Boogie, a melody drawn from a vocal line (Same Old Blues), a jazzy melody that deliberately breaks across the bar lines (Whistlin' the Blues), a two-beat stomp that uses double stops and chords (Red Dress), a simplified version of a Chicago blues standard (Mojo 1.0), and a rock classic (Rock Around the Clock). There is a method in Gussow's madness! These songs socialize you into the wide and wonderful world of blues musicianship, even as they develop your lip-strength, coordination, and reflexes.
Note: You do NOT need to know how to bend notes in order to play these songs. This is why they are appropriate for beginners and advanced beginners.
This collection includes videos and tabs for:
Bittersweet Boogie
Same Old Blues
Whistlin' the Blues
(Put On Your) Red Dress
Mojo 1.0
Rock Around the Clock
