Caledonia/Caldonia (Gussow.mov)

ADVANCED BEGINNERS / INTERMEDIATES. A QuickTime video lesson revolving around the Louis Jordan composition, "Caledonia" (also spelled "Caldonia"), adapted for blues harmonica by Adam Gussow of Satan and Adam. Technical challenges include repeated riffs and bent 2 and 3 draws.

Harp key: C

This tune should be part of any blues harmonica player's repertoire; it's a blues standard. I focus on two slightly differerent versions by Muddy Waters here.

Note: TWO PDF tabs are available for this song, one for each half of the 24-bar head.

Running time: 14:56
