Let's use this string for new lesson ideas for Adam. Let's start it out mainly in the lower intermediate level, then go up from there.
and Go Bears!!!

Ditto on the Wolf. I love his style and Dr.Ross'. Adams "Goin Down South" by Ross was great. Please check this Wolf clip out, you gonna need to shake a $20 spot while watching, it's required. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ou-6A3MKow

It would be great to see Adam dissect the Wolf.

Oh, Yeah! The Wolf! He might not have been the greatest harp player of all time--but he sure was about the best performer of all time--I just love to see him.

I'd love to see a lesson on the Wolf--but I do find that, if I just use the tools Adam has already given us, I can figure it out pretty easily for myself--he is primal and basic and unrelentingly cool--but he isn't rocket science to sound pretty close.

Of course, performing the way he does--that is rocket science--but I don't know if a lesson could help with that aspect. . .

Howlin wolf eh,He da man!Just look at the guy,He got a million miles on the clock and pure class oozing out of every pore! And to think the vast majority of the music listening population think that people like Celine Dione are the greats,I tell you what i pity the fools!, And i thank my lucky stars that i live my life to the beat of a different drummer

I'd be interested in another call/response challenge much like video 146, where Adam plays a series of licks and it's up to the viewers to post video responses duplicating his call/response by ear.

Considering the last one only got 6 video responses, maybe another easy video, or an intermediate video would be next. Or a video divided - in a 10 minute YouTube timeframe, 3 minutes for beginner licks, 3 for intermediate, 3 for advanced. Something for everyone to participate in with a quick intro referencing the first video, so full time can be devoted to examples/challenges at all levels.

I could go for a lesson on soloing on the upper register. I can fumble through it but I know that there is stuff that players better than me are doing I just can't seem to wrap my mind around it. I think that would be fun. Those higher notes really diversify good players from great players in my opinion.

I agree tyler, most of the music i listen too is live music that I get online. you get a sense of what licks and parts of the song people have a strong reaction too. A lot of the time its when a harp player goes from the higher notes and works down to the lower notes, or vice versa.
