Gussow OMB, "Superstition" (Philadelphia, 2009)

[@Modernbluesharmonica]

I'm playing an A-flat harp in this one. An uncommon key, but that's what the original is in.

[@hessonr]

Your show in Philly was multiple levels of amazing but this was definately a memorable highlight! I'm so glad I could be there to witness.

[@musthaveblues]

Adam, great stuff. that was a hella performance. The drum, the varying of tempo, and your tone were right on. Thanks

[@moonwood16]

We were scheduled to play BB's in June but had to cancel. With luck, we'll do it next year.

[@Modernbluesharmonica]

@Urbanomad22: I'm playing an Ab harp in Eb.

[@DBrownofdc]

come to dc!!!!

[@ChrisKChandler]

Great performance! Add a caption with that Sesame Street video linked in it. That way folks don't have to search it out! Or toss the link in the video description.

[@BBHRalle]

So cool.... BBH

[@Modernbluesharmonica]

I'd love to, but somebody needs to invite me.....and pay my way!

[@Modernbluesharmonica]

It's not an original song! I've adapted the various parts (keyboard, guitar, horns), fusing them into one groove-heavy harmonica part. The original is in Eb, so I've used an Ab harp, played second position, but you could certainly move up to a C harp. Credit where credit is due: this is Stevie Wonder's song. I gather that the Jonas Brothers covered this, too, but I hadn't heard their version when I felt moved to work this harp version up.

[@Modernbluesharmonica]

Well, I rarely use it. This is the only song that I play on it. I got a good one, this time around (Marine Band's are variable in quality). It's certainly noticeably lower than an A. Didn't Stevie Ray Vaughan tune his guitar down a half step? Might be useful for playing along with his stuff.

[@J.M.Stigner]

also Louise by Big Walter H

[@MissVerdine]

Why are you not a super star? You have it, baby!!

[@clrn2mt]

[@MissVerdine]

[@essoman2010]

that performance KICKS ASS!!

[@bandrowskisturban]

I'll second that - if you make a lesson of this one I'll be first to buy it! I've been trying to plkay a convincing version of this for years

[@Puabond]

i wanna see you live bro, SHOW DATES!?!

[@25lber]

Adam 10 out of 10, are you ever coming to play in Ireland?

[@Modernbluesharmonica]

The foot drum is made by Pete Farmer. farmerfootdrums (dot) com. They're what makes the whole thing possible.

[@jbth123]

would love to see a lesson on this one and willing to pay for it of course

[@MarkTheHarper]

EXCELLENT! Not only did I love the playing, but your shoes looked really fine, too! Please tell us where we can procure a harmonica tray like that that I am assuming mounts to a standard mic stand. How did you find a pigmy bass drum like that?

[@jbth123]

i think yo should go on americas got talent with this one you would win for sure

[@SZCZYPIORHARP]

WOW, it's great!!! What key of harmonica is it? Are you using overbending?? JUST LIKE S. WONDER!!

[@BBHRalle]

There are 100000000 Harper but your sound is unique. BBH

[@adeeter]

Adam, awesome tune. I'm #2 in line to buy the lesson. I tab'd out the first two verses - the Main Riff and the "Upbeat" fiff On the Upbeat riff I get: |r 2 r 2 1+ 1' 1 2" 1 2 2| r 2 2" 2 4 4 2 | Playing the 1+ 1' 1 2" 1 2 2 is a bit awkward - not a typical riff on the 1+ 1' 1 - is this what your are playing? Thanks Alan

[@nacoran]

That's great, but can you pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time? I know one of your early lessons said something about always tapping your foot while playing but my foot and my brain won't cooperate while my brain is trying to do something else (playing the harp.) When I play back my recordings my rhythm is on harp but my foot seems to always be doing it's own thing. Your lessons are great, but watching you actually jamming, wow!

[@bladesaint21]

WOw, You were in my hometown?, In my area where I work and I didnt know it! ?!?!

[@GregParker]

Great playin', Adam . Wouldn't work without the drum. (Not as well, anyway.)

[@tmccombe1]

Can we start a one man band youtube showdown! My money is on AG!

[@Modernbluesharmonica]

See my response above.

[@mayo470]

Who the hell actually disliked this video....?

[@pedropinon2553]

Probably someone who thinks "danza cuduro" is the song of the century
