how to play 'Crossroads Blues'

A step-by-step explanation of how to play the opening chorus of the harmonica adaptation of a classic song, with Adam Gussow of Modern Blues Harmonica. Gussow is currently featured in the Netflix documentary "Satan & Adam" (2018), the story of a Harlem street-blues duo. (Note: you need a key of D harp for this song.)

It does sort of sound like Gussow + cocaine. Not true! 16 oz. Panera dark roast + half 'n half. It's just sad how little tweaking old people need in order to tilt a few degrees past dead center.

I'm reasonably accomplished as I'm 53 and started in my teens. I just wanted to say that I watch every single one of your videos and I really appreciate what you do. It warms my heart to see someone so in love with the subtleties of this little thing.

Could be my 'magination, but I think the singing is tighter (better) now than it was then.  Sweet!!

Your version of Crossroads Blues is a classic. You should be very proud. Thanks for all you do Adam.
