@@gussowsclassicbluesharmoni2726 great! Thank you!

Hey Adam, I'm a young musician and your videos are really great. You are ensuring blues stays alive for future generations and although I might not end up making music there are people who watch you who will. What you're doing is an honorable thing, keep up the good work.

Just watched 'Satan and Adam' on Netflix. A very moving documentary. Well worth watching.

I watched one of your tutorial videos while I was scrolling around on KZread and I instantly tried to find my Harmonica from when I was just in fifth grade but I couldn't find it so I ordered one online and I just can't wait for it to arrive to start learning how to play it

I received this one Harmonica from my dad 4 years ago and now im trying to learn it thanks alot

This lesson is a game changer. Thank you for explaining how to hold your arms! Plus the whole rotating wrist vs flapping thing.

That is a large help for me to hold the harp in a useful way. Keep up the great work Mr Gussow.

Thank you for the lesson really I love the Harmonica coz of you just iam new to used this and I bought it last few days I appreciate

Dude; you’re awesome

Just realized the other day … self taught mistake of a lifetime. I hold the harp in my right hand … I’m trying to relearn now to hold it in my left hand. It’s awkward right now but I’m going to keep on with it. I can hear the wha wha tonal improvement and I seem to still be able to find the right notes intuitively as that didn’t change. I’m right handed btw just started out wrong I guess depending on who you ask. I wouldn’t change if I didn’t think it is a difference maker. I wish I would have paid attention to this 20 years ago. Forcing myself to relearn a 20 year mistake. Have not tried a mic in left hand yet. Playing harp upside down I don’t think I can relearn the notes phrasing now playing left low to right high all these years. I have 10 1/8 inch hands so I have a gift for the air chamber I can make. I was a little devastated when watching Ronnie Shellist on this topic a couple of nights ago. If you think I’m making too much of a big deal let me know but I don’t think I am. I think it is that important … unfortunately.

Thanks Adam Brilliant

nice opening gussow`s thank`s for the info, great man.

I just bought a marine band after watching you for months, and I can tell you, you were a BIG help. Problem is I'm still figuring out how to get single notes consistently 😂

Hope you still enjoying it 👍🏻

I'm loving your channel man, It is making me realise I have been taking my guitar playing for granted 😔. I now am reminded of the excitement and indeed existentialist joy of learning not just a new song but a new song on a new instrument, and it has reminded me how special that really is in this crazy and short life of ours. I would honestly say picking up my old harp recently and actually attempting learning it properly this time has been a God given intervention. I've been out of work a while and have become very low, very dark and depressed. I can honestly say I haven't felt depressed much at all the last week or so, and I've watched at least a 100 of your vids man. Music is so special. Seriously. Thankyou 😊 P.s. I've also just bought 'A hero with a 1000 faces' after hearing you talk about it.

Just finished watching your 101 video and thoroughly enjoyed it. Now newly subscribed..Keep well out there and Im looking forward to catching up on videos..

My God (that‘s you 😁) this was soooo helpful. I have small hands and found it really difficult to cup the harp. After watching this I got the famous wha-wha. Ok only for half a second but now I know it‘s possible.

Just suscribed thanks. Just recently picked up the harmonica, but thank's for the expert advice! Also Index and thumb matching eachother feels more natural!

👍 👌 🎶 ✌️ 🤘.. For Rhythm Diatonic and for composition that require full octave... Chromatic I assume...My most favourite Chromatic player is Franz Chmel.. But you know what? I'm enjoying the impeccable resonance of Low Tuned Rocket 🚀 and also Thunderbird.. Crossover is cool 😎 as well and Steve Baker 365 Pear wood.. Mr Gussow is very spontaneous, versatile and unconventional player.. I like Winslow Yerxa too.. I'm also playing Rick Epping XB40 .. It's such a sheer joy with it to do. I'm a hobby player since 1977.. Here I attempt to imitate Adam, Musselwhite, Butterfield, Magic Dick and you're already aware Sonnyboy, Carey Bell, Hugo Diaz and etc.. Many other legend's particularly African American 🇺🇸 who are 6 feet under the ground now.. My 61 year's old Puerto Rican wife from South Bronx NY 🗽 says that I'm cuckoo.. 🤣 I become cuckoo's when I listen to Blackfoot number.. Train, Train 🚉 and of course Jimi Hendrix dude's.. Walter Trout is arriving soon in Hamburg.. Now he's good.. B.B King 👑 concert was also awesome beside The Who & etc.. You guy's in America, Ireland and also in England are musically much incredible.. I mean without Scott Joplin, Robert Johnson and Django Reinhardt.. I wouldn't have understood what's down to Earth 🌍 music is all about minus lousy Waltz.. I also got influenced by Puerto Rican music 🎶 it's multicultural unlike typical approach.. Here in Hamburg Germany 🇩🇪 they don't have any Harmonica and Blue's enthusiasts.. Konstantin Reinfeld is exception.. While Steve Baker also reside here in collaboration with Hohner.. I play various brand's from Hohner, Seydel, Hering, Suzuki and also Tombo.. But at the very moment I'm sitting in confinement due to Chinese Checkers 😂 Well! So long no vaccine is available all one can do is minimise interaction in public... I wonder after Mr Adam Gussow goes through my written monologue.. He might also assume that I'm in all course of social normalcy.. 🤣

Adam so I have some pretty good news that I think you might think is cool. I’ve been playing harmonica for about a year now and since then I’ve started an Instagram page where I just basically post videos of me playing. Anyways, recently a guy asked me to play on his next album, which is pretty cool considering, as I said, I’ve been playing for a year! Now I’m not playing on every song, I’m only playing on a cover of You Was Born to Die by Blind Willie McTell, but even still it’s pretty crazy to me. Anyways I just figured I may as well share it considering over the past year you’re one of the people who’s taught me a lot of what I know. So, thanks!

Almost 100000 you helped me a lot just started

Thx & bravo

GRACIAS, GENIAL !!!

sweet sound i like it kept it up

Hi Adam, thanks to you I know how to pass my time in quarantine, can you explain in the next video how to play living in a ghost town, thanks and greetings from Rome

Who could teach us the harmonica better than Hosea Matthews himself?😂😂 Thank you!

Thx I needed that :-)

This is awesome! I've been watching you for years. I was hoping maybe you could talk about your drum set up you have used in your other vids (i.e. "Crossroads" or "Rollin' and Tumblin"). Keep up the great work. Thanks!

Could you break down the beginning of the movie crossroads

sir plz make a lesson on dispacito n cheap thrilles

My hands are really small and the harp extends past my index. Is it ok if I move the harp up on to the web of my fingers so that I can cup the harp? It also gives me a little bit more room to work with on the harmonica, instead of having the whole thing covered by my finger.

Hey dude do you know the tabs to tb sheets by van morrison, can find it anywhere peace man

aha got it , but my hands are too small to cover completely to the end of the harp , I will manage somehow

Hello mate. Loving your lessons. Wonder if you can help me out? I’ve got a Hohner Marine Band in the key of C. Bending on the 4 hole draw is easy. The 1 hole is ok but the rest of the holes just don’t seem to want to bend. Is this a common thing or have I got a dud harmonica?

I have a old Horner 80 keys 20 on each side double stacked and I believe it was made in the early 1900 before 1909 that was handed down to me how do I play it what types of techniques can you play with that type of harmonica

Just ordered a book from you on Amazon hope its signed lol

I'm trying to figure out which harmonica to use for my guitar chords in A7, D7, A7, E7, A7. Do you have a recommendation?

Since i started playing a couple years back i have been holding my harp in the other hand.

what the kind of your hermonica please ?

I just bought my first harmonica, it's a Lee Oskar in key of c. Is this a good harmonica to start and progress?

using lip purse, how much inside of mouth would sould the harmonica go to get a good embouchure? thanks from Buenos Aires

I'm trying to do the harmonica parts from the Aerosmith song "one way street" and I"m having so much trouble with the lower bends...I'm wondering if you can help me? Is it possible that an F harmonica is just difficult to bend those notes, or could it be that I have a plastic reed and should be using the wood type?

Please can someone tell me the name of the song at the beginning, I've heard it before but for the life of me I can't remember it. Really would love to play that

Hello Adam. Is there any reason to pinch the harp with your left hand? I'm right-handed (well, maybe a bit both-handed), but my harp lies definitely more comfortably while pinched by the right hand, when the left hand is free to make any effects. But I'm a very-very beginner, so maybe there's some reason I'm not seeing yet.

@gussowsclassicbluesharmoni2726

We hold it in the left hand because the low notes are on the left and because if you want to get wah-wah hand effects, you need to cup and close down the low notes. When you hold it with the right hand, you lose the ability to make wah wah sounds in that way--unless you turn the harp over, so the numbers are on the bottom and the low notes are on the right.

Which hand should i be holding the harp if im right handed?

Almost all harmonica players hold it primarily with their left hand, regardless of whether they're righty or lefty. Occasionally you find somebody who holds it with their right hand, but most who do that turn the harp upside down.
