Hey Jim, That's great, you got both Paul and my solos right! Keep up the good work. BTW, where are you in this video? Looks like grocery store or something. Duke

Thanks Duke, Steve

That's great - I'm glad you like the lesson and I'm real glad you're getting that tongue switching deal! Easy, right? Good work Paul!

Rick.  really enjoying this lesson.  The last couple times through at the end where you slow it down are very helpful.   If you would have asked me a week ago if I could under any...

I think it was BB King that said "if you haven't lived the blues, you can't play it" or words to that effect.  I am working on this months lesson, The Song has ended, and as Paul...

Hy all... I upload two more videos. First is the traditional spiritual song...Needed Time and the second it's the arrangement of the instrumental tune Feelin Bad Blues. I want to...

Oh Man! Those are some AMAZING Blues! Thank you for that Rick! Dan

Thanks Rick, I've uploaded an audio file with some bass-line backing and me counting the measures. Now I've listened to it over the changes a bunch it makes a lot more sense to me...

Hey Moto - I went back and checked and I think I figured out what you might be referring to. When I play the piece in the beginning of this lesson, I break and cut it off after the...

Hi Moto - As far as I can tell I'm sticking to a standard 12 bar form on this piece. I'm not thinking about it when I'm playing. I'm pretty much on auto pilot regarding counting...

This is a great lesson! The rhythmic variations are awesome, and that has me wondering... Are you thinking about or feeling the changes when you're playing this solo? I know the...

That's what you want! Keep that beat in your head and your body!

If you're anyhing like me, developing your ear takes time and is a never ending process. My advice,(learned from my experience) is relax, take your time and above all, listen. And...

Thanks for this lesson, Rick...you make it fun. I can't get the beat out of my head and discovered today that my vacuum cleaner makes a great dance partner.

Thank you Rick. People around me think I can play this one a little bit but I know better. I don't quite have Estrin's ear, but thanks to you slowing it down I've had a couple of...

Hey Duke,Paul,and Mike, I'd like to take a stab at this weeks lesson. I've been sick since December with Candida Albicans. Lately I've had the attention span of a gnat with...

Tank You Vinny , JD , Alex for your encouragement, I will keep on triyng I'll let you know  

Duke I am honored by your words. Read them gave me great satisfaction. I remember that people remained impressed when I played this tune in my concerts. I always liked it because...

Duke...I've just heard it...classy!!! Actually this is not my version...I've first listened Eric Bibb's version and I've tried to follow it....I could steal some licks of St Louis...

Mattia, Really nice performance and song! You and your band sound great and that's a nice tune with an interesting twist. Great guitar playing! you have a great command of your...

Hi Paul, Really nice playing. As an old friend of Jerry's I'd say your are really getting the right sound and feeling. Now just lay into it and you're there I'd say. Tony is right...

Good playing and sound Michael! I love Rockabilly and in a lot of cases Rockabilly has a lot of swing in it. You sound great! Duke

Wow Alex, That was great! Really great guitar playing and you really evoked RJs spirit there. I'm really impressed. When my hand is healed i'm going to pull out my acoustic and...

Hi Roger, sounds great, you definately have the right idea and feel. It's not that easy to play like Charlie Christian! I've heard that he played all downstrokes when he soloed...

Hey Alex, Really enjoyed your version of "Going Down Slow"! Great classic blues. Have you ever heard it by Saint Loius Jimmy Oden? He wrote it and has one of most unique voices I...

hI Vinny, Nice version of Cocaine! enjoyed your guitar playing and singing and those are some interesting additional verses! Fun stuff. Keep up the good work! Duke

Thank you Duke....I do appreciate it! :))

Like what I posted above this is not a video but a "live" one-take recording I did of a track I learned here, "Romance in the Dark." Again, it's a Rode R144 Ribbon mic in front of...
