John Lee Williamson´s Blues (Gussow.mov)

ADVANCED INTERMEDIATES and INTERMEDIATES unafraid of a challenge. A QuickTime video lesson focused on a 12-bar harmonica blues in the style of John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson, by Adam Gussow of Satan and Adam. 3 and 4 draw bends, 14 and 25 draw tongueblocks. Gussow plays the song at normal tempo, counts through it in slo-mo with the videocam framing the tab sheet, then free-plays to show ways of incorporating JLW's licks into a more contemporary amplified context. Gussow uses a key of D harp, but song is playable in any key.

Running time: 11:23
