Hi Adam,
Please you steer me towards which of your tabs/study songs are related to overblow and overdraw use.
Starting to tongue block overblow and overdraw now and working through Ross Garrens material so would like to add what you have too.
Much appreciated,
G

None of my tabs has an overdraw in it. I can barely do them.
At the risk of making a commercial announcement, I'll post all my stuff with overblows below. Or you can just go to the page on this website called "THE STORE" and scroll most of the way down for "Buford Chapel Breakdown" and all the way down for the rest:
"Buford Chapel Breakdown": a gospel-flavored original blues, with three complete choruses. For ADVANCED INTERMEDIATE and fearless INTERMEDIAT players. This is an exact transcription of what I play on the recording, which can be purchased on iTunes and it part of my debut solo CD, KICK AND STOMP. (Note: This lesson includes a three-chorus extract from the original recording, so you can hear exactly what I do in the studio.)

"Adam's Warmup Exercises (with overblows)": For ADVANCED INTERMEDIATE blues harmonica players, or INTERMEDIATE players who are developing the ability to overblow, this lesson works through a half-dozen different exercises created by Adam Gussow for his own use. (Three of them are featured in the preview.) These exercises develop speed, fluency, and the ability to transition smoothly from the bottom to the top of the harp and back. They help players integrate overblows within a traditional diatonic blues context. They also provide a workout on upper octave bends.

"Blue Monk": When I talk about pushing forward the boundaries of blues harmonica, I'm thinking of this bebop standard. It requires overblows on holes 5 and 6, and is therefore appropriate for ADVANCED INTERMEDIATES. But it fits amazingly well on the diatonic harp--a natural, in fact--and will awe your buddies the first time you pull it out at your local jam session.

"Tenor Madness": For ADVANCED INTERMEDIATES. This Sonny Rollins jazz blues is perfect for players who are beginning to add overblows to their repertoire, since it uses a couple.

"Watermelon Man": Herbie Hancock's classic instrumental, adapted for harp. For ADVANCED INTERMEDIATE players. Warning: contains overblows! Not for the faint of heart!

"Sunday Driver": I've tabbed out one of the most challenging solos I've ever recorded. It's a power shuffle in B-flat, played cross harp, and in order to nail it perfectly you'll need to combine overblows (5 and 6) and fast triplet runs in all three octaves. You can find the original song for sale on Adam Gussow and Charlie Hilbert: Blues Classics, a download for sale here at Modern Blues Harmonica.

"St. Louis Blues": This is the most famous blues song in the world, bar none. W.C. Handy's 1914 hit deserves a serious blues harp arrangement; this is it. An incredible value, this lesson focuses on a four-page tab (the longest currently offered at MBH): three 12-bar verses with that distinctive, Latin-flavored, 16-bar, minor-key bridge thrown in. This is a really cool solo performance piece. (NOTE: The second verse contains several 6 hole overblows. If you're not an overblower, you can simply repeat the first verse.)
Harp key: A
