Thank you Tim - I hope you have fun with it.

cheers mr.erin!!!!  GREAT SONG  AND TEACHIN!!!!!!  

Vinny - Nice versions of both of these tunes. I like the tremelo on Hideaway also good work. Duke

Hi Alex, Nice version of this classic. Enjoyed it very much. Duke

Great stuff Paul.  This is the first time I had someone explain the idea of seeing the chords behind the solo being played, should make it easier to find the notes, I think.  Man I...

Hi Sunny, Very nice rendition of the song! The rhythm is very close and good feeling with it. Nice vocal also. I've played in Ankara several years ago. Keep up the good work! Duke

Hi Smoke House, Very nice version of Catfish Blues there. good feeling and singing also! Duke

John, I will pick a CC song soon to teach. There are quite a few requests for one. Thanks, Duke

Hi Matt, Louis Electric amps are great and he can build any kind of amp you want! I love mine. Duke

Hi Charles, I hope that helps! Duke.

Thanks for the practice list -- much easier to find what I'm looking for.  

I learned the tune off your Roomful recording, which is in F#. Trying to do it in G messed me up! :)

Duke, I recently traded my 1966 ES-335 for a Louis Electric KR-12. I wasn't playing the 335 any more, and that amp is fantastic! I only looked at the amp because of your...

I'll add my voice to the request for a Charlie Christian lesson. Any song--blues, rhythm changes, whatever--will be welcome. Also, I'd love to get Duke's take on Chuck Berry, whose...

Thank you, Paul Kolesnikow (in the video) and Duke (in the remark below), for the comments on the strumming pattern. I find the four-to-the-bar swing rhythm incredibly difficult to...

Hi Peter, Its funny, I've been playing this kind of rhythm guitar so long I dont really think about it anymore but I think I lift my left hand up slightly between every beat while...

Hi Chuck, I am pleased that these lessons are helping you. Please make suggestion for song to teach. You may hit on something I know but wouldn't think of. Can't promise I'll do...

Hi Lizalu, Yes its one of my favorites! Bet this would  be a good tune for you to sing also. Duke 

Thanks Steve, Glad you are enjoying the lessons. I play an A7 for 2 beats as a passing tone to get back to the 2nd section. Hope that's what you mean. Duke

Hi Duke: Really enjoying the lessons! It is helping my playing progress( greatly appreciated by your old friend and my teacher, Paul Asbell). Anyway, I have a couple of questions...

Nice job Paul. You're certainly on the right track. Getting a good seal and isolating the lead notes cleanly will give you a bit more power. Well done!

Hey John, Glad you're starting to get it. Keep at it - just 5 minutes at a time several times a day will really help. 

this is a frist for me  i have played be fore but could not get   it right

Hi everyone Glad you guys are making progress. Practice regularly and when you can get the correct pitch changes, be sure to do the exercises I demonstrate that help you go...

Cheers for the practice box; love the ease of it; great improvement!!

Man after my own heart.  It always upsets me when good guitarists, stray so far from the melody that first attracted them/us to the song in the first place.  What your teaching...

Hi Chuck, sure Kansas City Wilbert Harrison style works for me. I love the guitar solo on that. It has to be a Telecaster! Duke 

Man, Carlos, that sounds awesome - great!

Hi Duke, one of the first songs I wanted to play when I started this guitar journey was "Kansas City" wilbur harrison version.  Have got chords etc, but can't seem to get a solo...

First of all, this is a fantastic idea to have guest teachers and Rick is one of the most fun of all. His video has great playing and nice break down of what he does. However,...
