HI, I am new to the forum. Just finished watching Adam's lesson on the Harlem Riff. Is there any follow up lesson on the song?

Thanks

he has two videos one with A harp and another with Bb and a paid lesson on it which I havent' checked out.

it's a really great riff to get under your tongue, it really helped me with my two draw intonation and getting the quick in-breath and the blow chord right is tricky. you really have to get it in your head (at least I did).

I liked the Bb lesson a bit better BTW but they are both worth watching.

I also found it sounded much closer to Adams version with harps that are tuned a bit towards just intonation so you get those sweet chords.

oh and welcome to the forum. I'm kinda new but this place is a goldmine I think you will find.

I am in my 60's and was a drummer when I was in high school and college and played in several bands. Dabbled in harp off and on over the years (mostly off). Started playing guitar about 10 years ago and now am back into harp.

Thanks for the help.
