Give It Away, Now.

You have to love it when actual experts embrace the Internet and decide to “give it all away”.  In the bicycle world, Sheldon Brown was the prime example.  Mark Bittman seems to be today’s cooking populist.  For harmonica, it’s got to be Adam Gussow.

It almost doesn’t matter what Adam is teaching.  His style is addictive.  Equal parts authority and humility.  Both inspiration and instruction.  His Youtube lessons are some of the best that I have received on any topic.

Does every little knowledge niche have an Internet icon?  If I hadn’t picked up the harmonica, I never would have “met” Adam.   He only exists to a tiny bubble of enthusiasts - that is, thousands and thousands of Youtube viewers.

Who else should I know about right now?  Who is giving the best lessons on the Internet – in any subject?
