Gussow's classic blues harmonica videos
Here you'll find a fresh and engaging series of blues harmonica instructional videos designed to answer both basic beginner questions and more advanced concerns. Your host is KZread pioneer Adam Gussow--one of the best-known and most widely respected blues harp teachers and players in the world.
This channel also features exceptional performances by blues harmonica masters like Nat Riddles and Jason Ricci, along with curated HD versions of selected instructional videos from Gussow's other KZread channel, founded in February 2007.
Gussow is half of the world-famous Harlem blues duo, Satan & Adam, along with the Mississippi-born legend Sterling "Mr. Satan" Magee. More recently, Gussow and his Blues Doctors duo has joined forces with Magee's nephew, singer/dancer/front-man Rod Patterson, to form Sir Rod & The Blues Doctors. Gussow is also the creator of Modern Blues Harmonica, one of the world's leading blues harp instructional websites.

Have you played a Hohner 590BX Big river? If so, your opinion? Just ordered one in the key of Eb. Love your videos, btw. You helped me decide which key was the best fit for my taste and my vocal range. Big thanks, Amanda from Memphis, Tennessee
Hi Adam, i started to play the harmonica a week ago. Found you on you tube, sitting in a car teaching ha ha. And now trough my vpn watching Satan & Adam. I must say : you are a special person. Love your personality. Thank you for being who you are. Your my inspiration to learn how to play at the age of 62. Love it. Dear greetings from me in Holland
At 80 this weekend, I'm old enough for the infamous monkey gland. But no need! A beginning harp, plus this amazing musician's encouragement in just two tasters and I'm feeling reborn. Big thanks to you Maestro Gusson.
So excited!!! Absolute beginner here, grateful for this brilliant introduction to a wonderfully expressive little instrument. Gives back everything you give to it, and more.
Super stuff I’ve been trying to play for years you simplify it to lay man terms pal I love it well done from an elder lemon 💯👍☘️🇮🇪❤️
Is a hohner standby okay for a beggener
That so amazing
Bob Dylan’s use of Charlie McCoy playing harmonica on some of his recordings helped me infuse a complete love of harmonica
I am a woman here and I have a good nack at it and am getting there
I have played quietly few times, at hotels, at the doctor’s office, car wash, repair shop, etc. It can be very satisfying and I often come up with a new riff :)
Was recording harmonica on a song today and came across this video. Thank you for making me aware of how to manipulate the frequencies of a harmonica. Lots of gold for me to reference here. Shoutout the hohner C blues harmonica, I got the same one!
C?
Marine band C?
Well said.
As retired professional classical (bas)clarinet player (belgium) and teacher I want to play an other instrument with a more auditive way of playing without a visual input of a score... Hard for me , because I played my whole live with a score. Difficult! The way you explains the harp gives me the courage to go further... thanks A question : many times I want to relearn some lessons, but can not find them. Is there a sequence, structure in your lessons so I can bild up and learn? Thanks
Glad I've received exactly the same harmonica!
Quite amazing how these two get so much groove and music going……
😂😂😂😂😂
Waow!
My fingers must be too short because I cannot comfortably get my index finger and thumb the same distance down the harp. I have no problem doing it with my right hand but cannot do it with my left
Adam I saw you at Jamey's last night. You were absolutely amazing! I am proud to say I saw a Harmonica Legend. TREMENDOUS Thanks for the photo Michael Fiscaro
HI Adam from France! , Thanks a lot for your video and lesson.
Thanks for this, Professor G.!
Struggling hard my shits in A tho
Yo Goose you my role model
What 3 keys? I think that depends on either your singing or the singers you play with the most. For me: Learning: C, Playing the blues on my guitar in E or open E so A. And the singers I jam with seem to sing in A the most so D. So for me it was (C,A,D) After that the singers want keys of Bb or C so Eb or F.
Props to this man for teaching us how to bend harmonica notes while the CIA is out looking for him
Hello Mr. Gussow, I want u to know that u inspire people even from Turkey, I am one of them, thank you.
After the C harmonica i bought A harmonica but A harmonica also sounds same as C harmonica nothing change , but checked notes as per blending traning app it's perfect , need help to understand the keys
16:42 Trynna figure out this lick. Mr. Gussow or anyone here... Can comfirm if i got it right ? -4 -5 -4 4 -3 -2 -2" -1 -3" -2 -3" -2 -2" -1 -2 Sounds similar... I just don't know how to write tabs for scooping notes.
I hope your renditions of Whammer Jammer turn people on to the J. Geils band's many albums BEFORE Freeze Frame. "The Bad Boys of Boson,"-- What a band! I have all their albums up to Love Stinks, the one which I would happily give away. Saw them right after Peter Wolf shaved his iconic beard and I didnt recognize him at all until the music started. 🤣
Like how voice inflections lead into harp 'inflections' and versa vice.
Pfffft hmmmmph good grief...clown around too much
Hi sir Gussow, I am already 38 years old and I started learning to play harmonica just at this age. Actually In the Philippines we are not used to hearing blues music, we are more in pop, rnb, classics, rock but not blues. My question is can I be just a single note player if I was not able to master other techniques like bending, tongue blocking, puckering and etc? I only know the wah wah effect and the train.
I always carry an A harp with me just in case I run into a guitar player who wants to jam. Unlikely, but you never know
Really nice lesson. Even an ols fart can get it clean and clear. Thanks so much, Sir.
BRO you are BACK after a while!!! So GLAD!!!!
I play a catatonic harmonica
Thank You Adam. It feels so good to listen to You. Have a great trip!
My keyboard makes wonderful harmonica sounds. If you have a harmonica player in your band, all songs get harmonica whether they need it or not as these guys think it improves ANY song LOL.
The only way I would tongue block is to get those fancy slapped notes, and I would immediately switch to lip pursing if I don't need the slap anymore. Other than that, lip pursing feels more natural to me
Very nice! I love the resonant sound of the trombone.
Honestly, I only listen to the playing and back off when the yacking starts. I just dig the harmonica
Dude; you’re awesome
Very Cool!! Yeah!! Thank you for sharing!! 👏👏👏💖😄
Mr.Gusso, thank you so much for all you do giving all the lessons and education. You are one of the first people I started watching on KZread ,you and Ronnie Shellist.Hats off to you professor 😎🎶
You're final tour is just a little too far from the Canadian border for me to see you all live :(
Id love another audiobook where you narrate for this new book.
I need more Adam Gussow in my life
Outstanding.6 months into playing harmonica. AI has no chance. You need soul to play harmonica which you clearly have💪
The man is back in town. Spread the word around.
AI and other computers need electricity , a harmonica is powered by imagination!
