'Blues is a music that knows all about hard times' 👍👍
I’ve been playing very casually for the last 10 years (wow it’s been that long?!) I can bend notes and tongue block and do all sorts of stuff. I play little riffs here and there. I need to start to concentrate on playing something that just keeps going. I’ve watched lots of your videos. At first I would get frustrated because I couldn’t just play something, make “blues music”. Now I just keep a harp on my belt in a leather case I made maybe 8 years ago and just play when I feel like it, and now I just look at it as part of the journey. I can totally agree with you on it getting you through hard times, god knows I’ve had more than a few! Thanks Adam!

i love you
I thank thee, oh Great Gonzo. 🙇♂️
I find you inspiring, you're passion for the Harmonica and your honesty in speaking from your heart in sharing the joy of the Harmonica to help get us through the tough times. Thankyou👍
Thank you soo much the people in my corn fields are really gonna love it
What you said that got right to the point is that I just started the harmonica to keep my sanity through the most difficult time of my life. Thanks. I’ll be exploring your site.
Adam, thank you for the things you teach and how you break them down for us .
Thanks for these videos, I just decided to learn to play the harmonica due to a sudden influx of free time and inspiration and I appreciate the way you lay things out. Cheers :)
Actually happened to me,
I always wanted to learn harmonica as a boy but I never got the time to.
But when adulthood came and my life's getting steady and boring, suddenly I remembered that I wanted to play harmonica, and it actually makes me passionate again somehow.
I'm on the same journey bro. It's been a month since I got my trusty Fender Blues Deluxe in D and a wonderful month it has been!
Besides all the techniques and stuff you are a great teacher as well. And what you said about how Harmonica helped you get your life together, I kinda felt that. Wish I had at least one teacher like you in my whole life. Respect 🙌
Well, you've got me as your (distant) teacher now. :)
Changed my life for the better. The devil makes work for idle hands. Got me back on the tracks and in a great head space. Very appreciative xxx
the last couple of minutes of this is really hard hitting
Thanks for your openness about why playing the harmonica is emotionally healthy.
Easy peasy, I already mastered the hand vibrato and working on the tongue blocking right now, later I'll expand to three hole draw technique, she's very happy so far, thanks for the tutorial, it works.. :)
"the sound" now this man knows what I need to know.
Glad to see you are still making videos! I learned the basics of harmonica about 9 years ago when I was 18 by watching your "Blues Harmonica Secrets Revealed" videos on UA-cam. I have not been practicing regularly, but I have had tons of fun playing harmonica with my friends and myself. So thanks and keep going!
It's hard to believe I've been doing it that long, but yes, I have. Whew. Time to hang up the shoes.
Thank You Adam for the Videos that you make for Beginners. I am not looking to learn because I am going through tough times or anything like that it's just that I have always wanted to learn to play. You would think I would have started earlier in my years but I am a Gold Metal Winner of the Procrastinators Award , but I know it's never too late to start. I will be doing several lessons a day and I hope to be play the Blues really soon. Bringing The Blues back to West Texas.
Thank you Adam your awesome ,,! I am self taught so these videos mean the world to me!
Thank you gussow! Love your vids
Thanks' Mr gussow. Very helpful video. You are the best. Greetings from Finland.
Thank a lot Sir. Mr.Gussow.

Awesome instructions! Thanks
What a teacher thank you sir for giving back!
I just wanna know who’s getting new harmonicas for New Years.
Two words: Thank you!
You're welcome!
This stuff is gold, Adam.
Good! Glad you feel that way.
Great work...positive impact indeed...keep it up brother...cheers
Wow. Great info. Thanks so much.
Whole bunch of information condensed in less than 10' WOW!!
Why does the -4 on my harp sound like the -3 on your harp? Love your videos . . . I'm self-taught.
Hi Adam I'm 59 and harmonica saved me I'm half way there but I know what you mean my lips have ulsers that's how much I want to play
Thank you very much I’m happy for you as you are giving now but you need Ed to go through the blues as I’m on the Cross roads to get the soul back on track! Or the other thing as you may well no ?giving is a good place to be mr harp:-)
It’s 4AM and I have no regrets.
Sounds good
Search The Tongue Block Trainer on UA-cam to see how to get started. It was a big help for me.
Thanks for another great video Adam.

ROFLMHO
Anyway, keep up the good work. :)
Sounds like we're on an upward curve. That's good!
@@gussowsclassicbluesharmoni2726 what happened then, you won the lottery or something?
My harmonica is split into two sections top and bottom
Adam....awesome video as usual but you made me comment with this one. It felt like the preacher talking directly at me. You know the harp and why it’s played. Great work.
Aha! I'm glad I produced that feeling for you. I will continue to share the Word to the best of my abilities. At some point, of course, they will pry the harmonica from my cold, dead hands.
Hi, what the cause on harmonica when a reed sounds like some rattles attach to it, could the rivet holding the reed be loose, or does it just happen?
I been playing for decades just watching others to expand my techniques. I can bend those draws are not as easy as it looks. You can use higher end stuff too. Singing into it best way to play if you know the words to a song. Holy Spirit taught me to play its a healing ❤️🩹 instrument.
Great vid gussow!
Quelle chance vous avez monsieur de connaître toutes les astuces de ce petit instrument. En France c'est difficile d'avoir un bon professeur! M aryline Thouvenin
Thank you, excelent!
This leaves me thinking maybe 2018 gonna be alright. :)
Yes it is!
Wish 2020 was alright 😂
@@ethanjs672 2020 is not the best but it will always come down to what you make of it yourself man!
I 've pic up two key of c harmonica s at antique shop one is a army March ing band key of c lucky right
Thanks for the video, also enjoyed your Beyond the Crossroads book, bought it at Google Books.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I slowly greyed over the seven years it took me to write that book--my hair, I mean--but it's done now and I couldn't be happier about that.
Hey Adam i was hoping you could release a tutorial or Cover Harmonica Intro to the Roseanne series Opening.
I picked up a harmonica too 40 years ago. I got most of the mechanics after a year and could pick out any tune, but it still sounded like morse code. Back then there was no UA-cam (or even VHS.) Despite being a big Blues fan, I concluded I was just too white and gave up. Adam is giving me the motivation to try again.
Oh yeah I know the blues in my soul. And I recognise when others have it too. Hence, not being a John Mayer fan. 'great technical player'
Hi Adam. I'm a beginner harp player, and I'm doing Neil Young impression/tribute unplugged thing by myself. What should I watch of your videos for that 😂 and should I learn harp , with brace first?
That's a good video to start learning blues??
"Does that sound like you?"
I feel attacked
A Hohner Blues Harp in C it's good for blues?
Yes.
I'm turning out to be a natural bender! Apparently a good few of us are
This IS the right video for me....ha ha ha ho hum.
I hate you I love you . I hate you . I love you .
I find you very annoying but very informative .
why does he annoy you? hes just passionate lol
Bro! You talk a bit too much instead of teaching technique and follow alongs.
Good dud I get a lot out of your teaching please keep up the good work
