Modern Blues Harmonica 135 – I Feel Good 1
Gussow goes head-to-head with James Brown’s best-known funk/blues. Zow! You’ll need a G harp for this one.

Can’t believe how …
Can’t believe how fun this song is to play. I almost passed on this lesson because I figured that it would be beyond the harmonica but Adam nails it. Please don’t stop posting. YOU are OUR Nat Riddles! Thanks so much ADAM
great lesson, not …
great lesson, not sure i believe you about the NATURAL high tho, your looking like you feel good, Tony Little, just kidding
Great question. …
Great question. Yes and no. The minor third–E-flat on the piano when you’re playing a piano blues in C–is a good start, but if you watch blues (or rock) guitar players play the note, they always smear the minor third up a few cents, so the pitch is more like the quarter tone between minor third and major third. There’s also a blue third that is slightly BELOW the minor third; Dickie Betts and Duane Allman use that note on LIVE AT THE FILLMORE…..
when you say blue …
when you say blue third do you mean minor third?
It’s the flat 5th …

These are instructional videos, not performance videos. It’s hard to instruct if I don’t talk. Perhaps I should take up mime.

Well, I’m doing all three of those things. I’m using 2-5 and 6-3 in the “bridge” riff (sax); I’m blocking left side–or at least I demo this–on the repeated 2 draw riff.
