John Lee Hooker s Boogie Blues (Gussow.mov)

INTERMEDIATE. A QuickTime video tutorial focused on an original 12-bar blues harmonica instrumental in the style of John Lee Hooker's endless boogie, composed by Adam Gussow.

Technical challenges include several triplet riffs utilizing 4 draw bends, some "blue thirds" (3 draw bends), and some subtle embouchure shifts required to make the whole thing swing. ADVANCED BEGINNERS will get something out of this lesson, although they will find it a challenge to master in its entirety, while ADVANCED INTERMEDIATES should be able to master it fairly quickly. Please listen to the preview to get a sense of what this lesson is about.
