Gussow one-man Mississippi blues band, busking (2009)

[@snakebitmgee]

So many people just walk by without stopping and enjoying this awesome free show. I would grab a cold beer and sit on that bench next to him. Them I would leave a big fat tip.

[@drackoarchy]

I got you

[@huckfinn4260]

How could you hear this and not want to groove with it?

[@kinhelfa]

Amen to that, brother 🤘🏼

[@soothingtrax]

Oh yeah bro. Definitely!

[@philglover2973]

Wow just wow this guy is really talented 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ajdicandia]

He was the professor for one of my English classes at the University of Mississippi. Very cool dude and a really good professor

[@faz1991]

Haha wow no way! xD Amazing.

[@carlaodopala72]

Nice professor

[@colinl9018]

He plays a mean Harp too.

[@stephenbouchelle7706]

cfl logistics He is considered among the best by many professional harp players.

[@sheunglok8712]

Amazing And how could folk pass by? Guess they got no soul.

[@Modernbluesharmonica]

Thanks to all who have been kind to this video. It was filmed five years ago by my good friend Cliff Hall. I had been playing footdrums for only two months and was greatly enjoying this new career direction. I had no idea what I was doing, drum-wise, and was making it all up as I went along. The kickdrum was more "whap" than "thump," which is not ideal, but I owe Pete Farmer of Farmer Foot Drums huge thanks for helping give me the beat. Thanks, Pete!

[@m.erickson5274]

playing the street is the most fun I've had. Adam makes it look fun.

[@artavyasugg3251]

hey adam this is is me taby who lives in dallas how r u doing

[@taylorp.2872]

Just watched one of your lesson videos, my god that helped, too bad i dont know how to bend notes yet, i am mostly learning by just what i call shooting the breeze on my harmonica, a bluesband honer C

[@canaya77]

Muy bueno!!! Desde Argentina

[@EIYH58]

Congratulation Adam.... What harp used....? Awesome !

[@Modernbluesharmonica]

@wimharp: You mean: What drives a street musician to become a university professor? Great question! I decided that it wasn't enough just to play music for the people; I needed to honor my inner pedant.

[@HarmonicaMan1955]

I'm a Harp player & love U brother. Keep The Blues Alive !!

[@russellsmith3567]

I began playing Harp the day after Christmas (26th December) and I understand how skilled this guy is. When the Harp is played well it has a feeling words can't express as you feel it more than hear it. People like Mississippi Fred McDowell, Son House, Charley Patton etc go beyond words and this guy has it also.

[@brucekolinski5401]

Hard to ever stop listening to Gussow's incredible rhythm and soulful sound. In Clarksdale no less. One fine day in a man's life.

[@21stcenturyseed]

Neither pain nor disease can hit you while listening to this ..Great Sir ! Immune Efficiency !!

[@tarasmazepa4461]

Adam, you are one of my harp teachers, thank you. Cheers from Urals mountains, Russia

[@Napsugar1205]

Omg.. This man is absolutely great !

[@Joever9000]

Adam, you're a hero. A while a go I was really into your lessons and they helped me a lot! Just wanna say thanks for those lessons. I want an Adam Gussow action figure.

[@Marabuntas01]

I'm wondering how some people (in the video) can just pass by without a look or to stop, are they deaf??? Your music is so amazing!!!!

[@kishascape]

People who aren't terminally online and actually leave the house tend not to overreact to normal things on the street.

[@meettheworld6241]

This is just another day of life in Mississippi... Talent and soul are common place within the older generations

[@charlesbireland1780]

​@meettheworld6241 WZ just going to say something similar. It's Clarksdale, Mississippi. They're probably jaded as they can be and see this all the time.

[@jimmymurphy7789]

How many Buskers can play like this ? The least they can do to reward such great, rich sounds is for everyone to put a Dollar in or more as they pass by - no excuse. 🤔

[@petro062]

Truely a man that makes the world a better place. Why can't everybody do things like him.

[@mrtambourineman6107]

We are not all of the ilk of AG, but we all have our part to play in life. It's about working hard to find your gift in life and then working harder to give that gift away. Peace brother man and best wishes on your journey 🤘

[@underdoggoethe8971]

Cuz we ain't superhuman.

[@redantares]

Just Amazing! Almost 3 am now and I wanna hear this again before I go to bed.. LOVE IT! Thank You Adam!

[@Steve...66....]

The daddy of all harp players.this man is unbelievable, and for sharing his free advice videos- a legend and a gentleman. Adam plays like we all aspire to one day, but sadly, the reality is- we won't. Why?? Cos no one plays the "devils music" on the harp like Mr Gussow. Thankyou for sharing Adam

[@rosstones1]

HI Adam, Can't thank you enough for being so generous with giving free harp lessons to the entire world! I think I've watched only 10% of them but I learned a few new things. - Ross

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

Brilliant!.... I could listen to that all day...thanks

[@ScottyMayhaw]

Adam, you are the genuine artifact, and an asset to the blues harp community, thanks for all the great videos.

[@elcoh]

Love the way Adam incorporates modern jazz while never giving up the traditional blues feel. It's what the old timers would have done if those riffs were out there back then!

[@tom27j]

adam as a harp player i just want to say thank you so much for the online lessons and your web site morden blues harmonica, has really helped me get better and become more musical cheers!

[@douglascarrier2938]

Just awesome..... love it 👌👌👌👌

[@bridgebean8284]

A treasure trove of licks that will keep me coming back for inspiration. Excellent 'Good Morning Little Schoolgirl' at the end too.

[@thomashyde9529]

[@kennethnilsson5976]

He is so great thank you

[@brentsmith8068]

I have watched you for years your awesome

[@Modernbluesharmonica]

@talbot300889: Yes, it's a Bb harp. I've revised the "more info" extended description to include links to a video and tab for the first song, "Buford Chapel Breakdown," which I ended up putting on my first album. It got a lot of airplay on "Bluesville" XM/Sirius satellite radio.

[@juke1208]

Shades of a Great Duo! Always great Adam

Great Adam Satan would be proud Who'd think that the student came to be as great as the master Thanks for bringing the sweet pain of the blues into my life

[@uncynd]

Adam i love your harp playing.

[@Modernbluesharmonica]

@barkingchihuahua: Yes, I had a 50 year old student in a beginning class many years ago, and he became obsessed with the instrument. He practiced hours a day. Within two years, he was working regularly with TWO blues bands in New York City. You should take a look at my website, Modern Blues Harmonica (dot) com. Lots of lessons there. Also, on my personal appearances page, a list of gigs. Chicago, New York, Copenhagen, Kansas.....and Mississippi, of course.

[@harpgear]

Awesome Adam!!

[@shemayashilo6598]

Approval. Just listened to the Crossroads video. Inspiring. I found my way to your website, Blues Harmonica, went through the lists, listened to the 20s and 30s and liked Alfred Lewis, Lee Brown, Jaybird Coleman, and Robert Hill. Thought of Cream-ing them or Led-ding and what it would sound like. Now back to your site.

[@clackclack2]

Keep them Coming!

[@ToddGates]

Amazing--and inspirational!

[@TomLumpkins]

this is awesome.

[@LemMychal]
