Checkin Up on My Baby (Gussow.mov)

INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED INTERMEDIATE. A QuickTime video tutorial focused on the Sonny Boy Williamson / Junior Wells blues harmonica classic, "Checkin Up on My Baby," arranged by Adam Gussow of Satan and Adam. Technical challenges include 2, 3, and 4 draw bends, "chuck-chuck" accents, and some tricky timing. (No octaves or overblows. Advanced beginners will be able to get something out of this lesson, but won't have the technique to fully to it justice.)

Harp key: D.

Note: a PDF tab of this song is also available for $2.

Running time: 19:10
