- What is a turnaround? If you're a blues harmonica player, it's a neglected but critical part of the 12-bar blues progression. You need some new licks for that! And you need somebody to break them down for you, step by step. With Adam Gussow of ModernBluesHarmonica.com

Love this. Now I’ve got an entire catalog of great turn-arounds to ear train with. Thank you for the content
So I'm about to be 53. I love "almost" anything music but I never had the "time" to learn anything. Just like every other kid I always had a couple of harmonicas laying under my bed. But you sir have got me making music. Thank you!
Same
So I've been checkin out ur vids for about a week now. Pickin thru some things n I gotta tell ya man, I'm learnin a lot. I love ur exercises n the way u explain things. I picked up the harmonica about a week ago cuz of some of the 80s rock music I love. Because of u n ur exercises I was able to figure out the notes by ear!! Thank you n I will be continuing to learn from you!! Ur Awesome Brother!!
Bravo, Gussow! Great stuff

A master on the blues harp
Nice to see how Mr. Adam Gussows shows his on youtube
Thank you from Germany
I love the look on your face between turnarounds! Like you are looking through a mental encyclopedia! Awesome lesson.
Yes! That is pretty much exactly what I'm doing. Truth is, there are a LOT of turnarounds that I just couldn't bring up on a moment's notice--and some of them can be found in the lesson that link in the extended video description.
Your harping is soooo Full Rich and Juicy! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Great concept, lesson and performance! Inspiration for great harp playing, thank you :)
Gussow. You are incredible. You approach harmonica like no others. You know one more of the devil

Thanks so much Adam. This is the next piece in the puzzle of my harmonica playing. I downloaded the lesson and tab. Looking forward to some woodshedding.
Thank you, Adam!
Think you, Adam!
A brilliant lesson Adam. Thanks so much.
Jeez, there were so many turnarounds in this, I watched it with the back of my bonce to the screen. Love it, thanks Mr G :)
Long live sterlings spirit,kidzu
Hair Professor...thanks for your all your teaching all over here...so...when Sonny Boy and Sonny Terry play they sometime poke a finger or two under the covering hand to "feel" the harp....WHAT IS THE DEAL? I have tried it and like it but don't know why. Why do we palpate the spine of the harp..."tickled" to find out your research !
Good idea and good lesson on that subject
Thanks for this video, man!!
Professor .... that one turnaround you called diminished strikes me as a ragtime tone . It just has that color to it and due to my lack of theory I don’t know how to better explain it . I think it’s because releasing the tension ascending instead of descending the pitch .
very good
Emanuel,obviously get the "correct" mic.Silverfish do good mics-medium and small,with low and high impedance.Dynamic/Crystal.
For anyone who needs to know what Adam is talking about about counting the bars, check out this index to his videos.

Watch videos 18, 19 and 20 in particular.
The bessssst
Muito bom
I can play blues hamrmonica on a hohner special 20 right?
Yes
Do you sell a lesson for big boss man that you did with Marcus Mookie cartright.
No, but the next lesson that I'll upload is about how to comp on EXACTLY that kind of two-beat stomp groove. So stay tuned!
What is the trick in keeping your lips moist while playing?
Several tricks. First, stay hydrated. If you're licking your lips, that's your body's way of saying you're dehydrated. (I'm speaking here as a longtime distance runner in Mississippi.) Second, Chapstick or Burt's Bees.
Gussow, Is it okay to plug mic into guitar amp? Iam asking because it isnt recomended. My amp is brnad of Peavey. Thanks Master
Hi Emanuel.Yes you can.But to satisfy your concerns-go to UA-cam and type in "Peavey amp for harmonica". Keep practicing!!
You need an impedance adapter, otherwise your sound will be very very weak. The harmonica microphones have the proper impedance for an instrument amp (about 1000 / 1k ohm), but Vocal microphones need the adapter since they have low impedance (about 100-300 ohm)
well i checked my mic and it says 600ohm its vocal mic but thanks for recomendation
Yes! You do have to make sure your mic and amp have matched impedance (as already mentioned) or your sound will be weak, but most amps were guitar amps before someone decided that they sounded good for harp. Some amps will sound better than others. If you've got setting on the amp you can dial in the sound with some practice. I have a cheap Park solid state amp that I use. (Park is a brand that Marshal used to use to sell discontinued parts.) Never heard of anyone else using it for harp, but it's got two gain knobs that let me control the distortion and a built in reverb to fill out the sound. It took a while to figure out how to dial it in, (and because no one else was using it no one could tell me what I needed to do).
Some amps work better than others. If you are buying an amp it's useful to know what other people find useful, but if you already have an amp, just play with it and see if you can get a sound you like. If you really work at it and can't, well maybe it's not a good harp amp, but there is no risk in trying!
I like the diddly.
