Another 5 star lecture for sure, professor! I think your description of Butterfield "holding it in reserve" was remarkably apt. I like the idea of cultivating a buildup in a song so that when you do end up cranking the throttle wide open, it blows away the listener. To be perfectly honest, I'm gonna have to re-watch most of your tutorials to digest all of the stuff you touch on. Keep em coming!
One of the things he does in his solo that I don't touch on is hit the blue third in bar 3 and then holds it, nurses it, until the change in bar 5, when the IV chord comes in and it makes more harmonic sense. I know no other player who has done that.
Adam I kind of forgot how damn good you blow,love it and I do believe that Sam is a Boston Terrier,damn cute dogs,second only to baby orangutans for cuteness IMHO. Great post maestro,thanks.
Thanks Adam for another great vid giving us your insight to the Blues. I just want to let you and the viewers know, if you already don't, that Pauls son is filming a biography about his father and the teaser can be seen on UA-cam at Dharmabum333 or use Paul Butterfield Biography as a search engine request. It is going to be a good Bio. One he deserves. Thanks again Adam!!!
Great video once again Adam, that's some migthy impressing Harp Playing there Mister 8-) Btw any chance of an Xmas Edition one day, you know blusy xmas song (just for the fun of it) or is that a big crime against the Christmas ?
Is that puppy a boxer? Boxers are awesome, I have two of them. (And also a bunch of harmonicas...) Man, I've become rusty, but I promise I'll get back in shape, so that I'm able to play a little harmonica again!
Good idea. I actually play a few xmas carols, so I just might do that. I certainly won't name my harmonica Jesus, though. That might get me sent back to the Sudan. :)
Absolutely. But Walter, even on that wonderful track, did nothing that leads directly to the lip-pursed seamless waterfall of triplets that Butterfield does here. LW's tongue blocked notes are much more angular. He and Butter are both geniuses: origin points. That's precisely my point.

Even when you do something you really like, there are times you feel that "the thrill is gone" :) Adam, your lessons bring the thrill back! Thank you!

Adam,
Very insightful advice. It's sometimes difficult not to play too much, and proper mix is important.
Thanks for sharing.
Jam On!

You're right. I covered that a lesson or two back.

how do i know that solo is blow or draw notes thanks
