Modern Blues Harmonica

Welcome!  With more than 21,000,000 views since 2007, Modern Blues Harmonica is the #1 blues harmonica channel on YouTube.  Here you'll find literally hundreds of teaching videos, for beginners and more experienced players alike.  Most of my conversation is oriented towards intermediate and advanced players who have learned some of the basic techniques but KNOW they are missing something.  I drill down into that "something" in my videos. 

You'll also find performance clips of my own ensembles (Satan & Adam, the Blues Doctors, the New Delta Jukes, the Gussow one-man band) and other remarkable blues harp players. 

If you're a beginner looking for guidance, or if you're an intermediate or advanced player seeking additional challenges, please visit my website, ModernBluesHarmonica.com, where I've got a range of blues harp materials for sale.
