Mojo 1.0.mov
For BEGINNING and ADVANCED BEGINNING players, a video tutorial that presents a simplified (but still soulful) version of Muddy Waters's "Got My Mojo Working." Adapted for the harmonica by Adam Gussow of Satan and Adam.
"Mojo 1.0" takes you through two 12-bar instrumental verses, one focusing on the song's familiar driving riff, the other focusing on the "head" or harmonica intro made familiar by Little Walter, James Cotton, Jerry Portnoy, and Kim Wilson. Gussow spends some time at the beginning of the lesson playing selections from several versions of "Mojo" by these these harp players, helping you tune in to the heart of the song.
Technical challenges include the "breakdown" groove with its stressed offbeats and some introductory versions of 3 draw and 2 draw bends. Gussow takes his time, giving you detailed explanations of how to play all the tricky passages.
