So many people just walk by without stopping and enjoying this awesome free show. I would grab a cold beer and sit on that bench next to him. Them I would leave a big fat tip.

Amazing And how could folk pass by? Guess they got no soul.

Thanks to all who have been kind to this video. It was filmed five years ago by my good friend Cliff Hall. I had been playing footdrums for only two months and was greatly enjoying this new career direction. I had no idea what I was doing, drum-wise, and was making it all up as I went along. The kickdrum was more "whap" than "thump," which is not ideal, but I owe Pete Farmer of Farmer Foot Drums huge thanks for helping give me the beat. Thanks, Pete!

Congratulation Adam.... What harp used....? Awesome !

@wimharp: You mean: What drives a street musician to become a university professor? Great question! I decided that it wasn't enough just to play music for the people; I needed to honor my inner pedant.

I'm a Harp player & love U brother. Keep The Blues Alive !!

I began playing Harp the day after Christmas (26th December) and I understand how skilled this guy is. When the Harp is played well it has a feeling words can't express as you feel it more than hear it. People like Mississippi Fred McDowell, Son House, Charley Patton etc go beyond words and this guy has it also.

Neither pain nor disease can hit you while listening to this ..Great Sir ! Immune Efficiency !!

I'm wondering how some people (in the video) can just pass by without a look or to stop, are they deaf??? Your music is so amazing!!!!

​@meettheworld6241 WZ just going to say something similar. It's Clarksdale, Mississippi. They're probably jaded as they can be and see this all the time.

Love the way Adam incorporates modern jazz while never giving up the traditional blues feel. It's what the old timers would have done if those riffs were out there back then!

Omg.. This man is absolutely great !

Adam, you are one of my harp teachers, thank you. Cheers from Urals mountains, Russia

Adam, you're a hero. A while a go I was really into your lessons and they helped me a lot! Just wanna say thanks for those lessons. I want an Adam Gussow action figure.

Just Amazing! Almost 3 am now and I wanna hear this again before I go to bed.. LOVE IT! Thank You Adam!

@barkingchihuahua: Yes, I had a 50 year old student in a beginning class many years ago, and he became obsessed with the instrument. He practiced hours a day. Within two years, he was working regularly with TWO blues bands in New York City. You should take a look at my website, Modern Blues Harmonica (dot) com. Lots of lessons there. Also, on my personal appearances page, a list of gigs. Chicago, New York, Copenhagen, Kansas.....and Mississippi, of course.

@talbot300889: Yes, it's a Bb harp. I've revised the "more info" extended description to include links to a video and tab for the first song, "Buford Chapel Breakdown," which I ended up putting on my first album. It got a lot of airplay on "Bluesville" XM/Sirius satellite radio.

Truely a man that makes the world a better place. Why can't everybody do things like him.

I have watched you for years your awesome

adam as a harp player i just want to say thank you so much for the online lessons and your web site morden blues harmonica, has really helped me get better and become more musical cheers!

HI Adam, Can't thank you enough for being so generous with giving free harp lessons to the entire world! I think I've watched only 10% of them but I learned a few new things. - Ross

Adam followed you for a while now...Mate this is awesome very talented guy.....just wish i could play. Col ( England)

Adam, You inspire me!!! Tahnk-you

Followed this guy on youtube for some time and watched his lessons. Today when I was listinging to BB KINGS bluesville on satilite radio i heard him on there. Just as soon as he started playing I was like hey thats Adam. One of the best harpist ive ever heard.

This is top notch playing here!

Perfection is what this man is,thank you sir!

Mississippi 2009 reaches Lisbon 2020. Thanks for this and for your blues harmonica teaching/tips videos!

Adam, thanks for that: that's just great. I'm learning harminco and you inspire me every single day

You are totally awesome Mr. Gussow!!!

Gotta just love that.Thanks Adam.Having played blues harp for 45 years I can appreciate what's going on as far as being able to play like that well that's another story.Just inspirational really.In some ways I like it more than your Crossroads vid which is just a real jump and stomp number.Great ! Your keepin it real.

Adam thank u for the music n the lessons u put up on YT❤

Awesome Adam, you are the best. I´m your big fan. Best wishes from Brazil.

Just brilliant. What a gem.

Hey you really got my attention man, God bless you.

Adam, Mahalo (thanks in Hawaiian) for your continued flow in inspiration and instruction of playing the blues harp. Your personality and style of teaching makes it so accessible to padawan learners. Just when I get too frustrated or hyperventilated and want to put down the harp...there you are encouraging me via your vids. Thanks again, Jedi Harp Master. "Puka" is Hawaiian for "hole" thus I am the Ten Puka Man. Aloha, Adam.

Blues Magic thankyou this is unforgetable

Man that is pure talent..Love it and will soon be learning to play myself..Due to rheumatoid arthritis I cant play stringed instruments any longer.Your a true inspiration.

Super Adam votre feeling est excellent continuer a nous faire plaisir...vive le blues salutations de Suisse

Great jams! Those passers by don't appreciate what they're missing. I also spotted the new "Ain't going doggin' no more" video that just came up. Lovely. Live long and Keep Harping! Cheers

Just found Gussow today. Absolutely love this guy! If you're looking for solid advice and lessons ...please check out his many videos I've learned a lot from him. God Bless you Gussow

Just awesome! I was really suprised hearing Ronnie Earl tune on harmonica - sounds just amazing!

Wow.. Amazing skills. Not many people can rock a harp like that. Please upload more!

Really outstanding music.

Cant stop listening to it !

Mr Gusson tanks for share your knowledg with us you are a simple man congratulation. My name is Marcelo from Brazil.

Beautiful man, thanks for putting this out!

Wow...thank you! ive been playing guitar for almost 9 years now and just picked up a harmonica. Im really into the blues and your videos really inspire me. thank you for the techniques, skills, and feel. best of luck my friend.

Kool so Kool ,we spend most of our lives not doing the things we should do.and the many talented people out there doing what they love and sharing what they are good at. Big thanks much appreciated.

The daddy of all harp players.this man is unbelievable, and for sharing his free advice videos- a legend and a gentleman. Adam plays like we all aspire to one day, but sadly, the reality is- we won't. Why?? Cos no one plays the "devils music" on the harp like Mr Gussow. Thankyou for sharing Adam

O man, i loved an one-man Mississippi Blues Band, thanks!!!!

This guy is GREAT

Awesome Adam!!

Absolutely awesome.

great work Adam - thank you

BEAUTIFUL !

Mississippi 2009 in lockdown London 2020. Keep playing Adam!

Adam i love your harp playing.

Most excellent!

Excellent,first class loved it

WA-O!!! I like your Music and Your Play Style.

this is great man enjoy your music im all the way in australia geraldton !! keep them coming

If I was walking on the street in that area there ain't no way I would not stop and drop my jaw. WOW that is awesome.

Very nice job Mr. Gussow. Watching many of your vids for lessons......

Much love from overhere sir, thx a lot for your videos.

Greetings from Poland! Thanks for everything!!

Still my hero Adam. You play a HUGE part in keeping great blues alive. You may not know that, but I'll bet you do. Hope to see you in May!

You really had it going on that fine summer day. All of the vids are great.

A legend. Thank you.

now that sounds amazing! respect from scotland!

The sound like a electric guitar. Perfect!

Great Adam Satan would be proud Who'd think that the student came to be as great as the master Thanks for bringing the sweet pain of the blues into my life

Darn good man! Cheered me up with this!

Keep them Coming!

❤ lovely! Congrat's!

I particurlarly like the all the people...walking by....knowing they hear you and yet, pretending not to. The reality of a street performer: the emotional strength to perform for performing sake, knowing everyone hears and most enjoy even though few acknowledge. Outstand Adam, simply outstanding!

Your tone is awesome whatever you play through.

The second half of this song is one of the hardest harmonica songs I’ve ever seen ever It’s harder than Freebird This one’s actually giving me a headache trying to learn it I’m getting there though

Great stuff!

He's got talent. Very well done.
