    Thanks for making these newer lessons Mr. Gussow. I've always wanted to play harp as a kid but never tried til now in late 2021. I've been learning and practicing your beginner lessons like these and then attempting to use them as a vehicle for improvisation over a jam track in the key of G. I probably still suck, but im having a ton of fun making bluesy sounds for hours!

    I'm still amazed at the technology which allows you to sit in your car in Mississippi and share this lesson (on your German made harp) to the whole world. Thanks for your great lessons. By the way, it's raining here in Boise Idaho.

    I've been learning from you for about 6 months. This one was a real break through for me. Even better, Ive been jamming on cajon and percussion with some guitarists, then today I just pulled out the old marine band c and riffed in classic folk tunes and found I had a great understanding of rhythm, pitch and general techniques accumulated from watching your videos. It was an amazing feeling, like being off trainer wheels, or my first flight. Thanks Gussow, you've enriched my life and added to my music arsenal.

  • @Harp_and_Guitar_Moving_Forward

    I don't think I've ever learned something so fast and so fun. Keeping an eye out for part 2. You had me at "no bends required". Bends are still a bit confusing.
    And ps it sounds a little tiny bit like yours. So far I'm mainly doing lip pursing.

  • @gordonliu7951
    @gordonliu7951 Před 2 lety +1

    Trying to learn how to play this rhythm is probably my main driver for trying to get a good sounding 2-draw (I'm new to the harp and that's been my biggest obstacle so far)

  • @usedtobered6816
    @usedtobered6816 Před 3 lety

    Thank you for your lesson, Adam! One observation - I think it would help if you would use your hand when playing to indicate if you are blowing or drawing, It is not always obvious.

    • @gussowsclassicbluesharmoni2726
      @gussowsclassicbluesharmoni2726  Před rokem +1

      Blues Harps are a fine model. They used to be made with slightly softer brass than Marine Bands, which enabled bends more easily but also led the reeds to get mushy faster. I'm not sure whether that's still true.

    @codybuffoord3172 Před 2 lety

    Ive never felt like you try to sell marine bands, you say you play them because you like them. I am gonna get one, been playing my big river and blues harp, I do enjoy the wood comb I just like being able to take it apart easily to clean it since I can't run it under the faucet lol. The new designed blues benders, made in china, cheapest playable Hohner, probably my favorite, and it's marine band like without wood comb, so I'm thinking my next might be this anniversary model (I collect them as well) because it looks the business lol

      I'm using a key of C harp, as I note several times in the video. I'm playing it cross harp (2nd position) in the key of G. So if you were jamming along with a guitar player or piano player, you would want that person to play in the key of G.
