For RAW BEGINNERS--novice players who come to the instrument with little or no prior experience. With Adam Gussow, a professional harmonica player best-known for his extensive work with blues duo Satan and Adam.
If you were my private student and you arrived for your first lesson having just purchased (or been given) your first harmonica, I would spend much of that first hour showing you the things I show you here. The difference is this: a private lesson would cost you $60. This video costs you $4. I take apart the harp and give you a quick-hit lesson on how it's put together. I show you how to make single notes with the proper embouchure (mouth-shape). I show you the two ways that the majority of pro harp players hold the harp. I teach you a basic diatonic scale in the key of C, and I give you another exercise that will help familiarize you with every hole on the harp. I help you troubleshoot the problems that crop up when raw beginners try to play an ascending or descending series of notes involving multiple holes. I also give you a sample of my own playing.
In short, I do my best to frame the fundamentals in the clearest and most accessible way possible; to set priorities that can guide your future development; and to inspire you.
Harp key: C
Note: Unlike the great majority of the video tutorials available at Modern Blues Harmonica, this video has NO corresponding tab sheet.
Running time: 48:53 (long!)

Awesome Video! I have looked in my city for a good harp teacher, and thru YouTube I found Adam! I listened to him play, and thougt, I sure wish I could have him teach me. Low and behold, HE IS! Im a beginner, but a beginner with passion to learn! The correct way though, and so far I have been 100 % satified. Buy It
Very easy and simple to use

1st time
good vid for a beginner. Even intermediate players cna pick up things from this one.
Brilliant! Exactly what I was after, and the best investment I could have made. Thank you!
Great stuff, exactly what I needed to get me on the right track. I almost sent back my harmonica thinking I had a duff reed until Adams comment about the 2 hole draw, revelation time!!
Fantastic instruction. He keeps it light-hearted and interesting. I chuckled several times through the video and I really appreciate his instruction on how to hold the harmonica. I was hesitant on whether I should buy this or just YouTube something, and I am very glad I purchased this product.
Awesome - I love Adams teachings!!
my xmas present to me - happy holidays
Gets your basic stuff together.
great first lesson. Still practicing before I go to my next class
Great
Great for real novice; same style as youtube videos with more details; not much on breathing though.
