For ADVANCED INTERMEDIATE and fearless INTERMEDIATE players: a Quicktime video tutorial focusing on Gussows original instrumental composition, Buford Chapel Breakdown. The three-page tab around which this video is organized is an exact transcription of Gussows performance on KICK AND STOMP, his debut solo CD. (You can purchase the entire album at the URL below. The individual cut can be purchased at iTunes and Amazon mp3s.)

This lesson is ideal for more advanced players who are looking to broaden their approach. It has a fair amount of repetition, thanks to an in-and-out gospel chord pattern.

Technical challenges include lots of 2, 3, and 4 draw bends; a number of rapid slurs (a pros trick); and, notably, a handful of 5 and 6 overblows. Gussow takes you step by step through every lick, breaking down the challenges to make them manageable. (Note: THIS LESSON INCLUDES A THREE-CHORUS EXTRACT FROM THE ORIGINAL RECORDING, so you can hear exactly what Gussow did in the studio.)

Harp key: Bb.
