    You're one of the most inspiring and encouraging musician in the world. Why? Because you convinced me that it's nothing that I can't afford to buy a sax and pay for lessons. Little and cheap 10-hole harmonica is equally or even more powerful. I'm learning from your lessons, and feel my dream is gradually coming true. Thank you for that. Please keep on posting your videos, no matter if these will be lessons or performances - both are great :)

    this is really amazing! Adam Gussow used to be black, and then when his abusive mom bathed him in a lead solution, turning him bright white. it was a medical miracle that the poor kid survived let alone learn to play a couple of songs on the harmonica, even if they were quite weak and soppy. I am so glad I could see this. Keep up the good work Adam!

    that was brilliant Adam!
    I was actually hoping you would do more of these "street harp videos", since I loved the last one so much.
    Just a harp and a drum sound so nicely together!

    This is great!! Although this was probably just intended to show what the teacher is able of doing, I think it's one of the most valuable harmonica lessons here. We get to see and hear how to integrate a melodic line with a rhythmic background, keeping the beat. This is something the great blues players know how to do. I am going to try to use this as an example to set up a bunch of riffs within the progression, using different rhythmic backgrounds. Maybe I'll learn to play...

    @phatenderske: Good question! Zen practitioners talk about "no mind": just doing it with bare attention; just letting it happen. That's where much of my best music comes from. I work on lots of things quite consciously when I practice; I also do repetitive patterns that train and upgrade my reflexes. But when I play, I just play and let the music flow out, without over-thinking it.

    ... are you really speaking french Adam?? Holly molly! This was a master one-man here, you just kind-of summarized your unique style in one single video, I dig it.
    Au contraire je trouve que parler en français rajoute encore plus de mystère au mythe AG ;-)

    Je t'assure que je ne m'arreterai pas. Mais c'est possible que je n'essayerai pas encore d'ecriver Francais dedans un RUclips "comment." Cela me donner un saveur cosmopolitaine que peut derange les gens qui me prefereraient "rootsy." :)

    "just doing it..." "and let the music flow out" this ist the real "Kunst" in german.
    this comes from "können".
    You can. you just do. sometimes I try but I should practice more just to have the
    courage to myself.
