I've gotta say I am really enjoying the Freddie King stuff, thanks a lot. For a future lesson, how about a Guitar Slim tune, like "Letter to my girlfriend"? I also like Clarence...

Hi Friends, this week we are working on the second chorus of "The Stumble." There's more deceptively simple lines that are a bit hard to nail as far as playing exactly like Freddy...

"Back at the Chicken Shack" (Jimmy Smith, with Kenny Burrel on guitar) is a fun "greasy" blues in F. Sure you know it. Think many of the members would enjoy playing it, and I can...

Thanks, Duke! I love all those tunes---great to hear there's a chance it could be "Shivers". That's a great one

@Claudio...I use .12s strings and that works for me.  Some people like .13s...so it's really whatever you feel most comfortable with.  The action doesn't need to be that high on...

@Alex...as usual your playing here is nice.  I think it is good that you added something of your own to the song.  Your slide playing is clear and it sounds nice.  I would only...

Hi Guillaume, i am glad you are getting something out of it "Lonesome Road" is a fairly simple song so I bet you got really close. Duke

such awesome guitar work - so true!  was this solo transcribed from a particular recording of The Stumble?  I've got six versions and they're all different!

Hi Alan, Sounds good! Don't worry about the tempo, its really hard for me at that speed. If you notice I teach it slower! My age and my feeling for music makes me want to groove...

Well, Duke, when you get to a CC tune, will it be "Seven Come Eleven"? Barney and Herb (as well as many others) recorded it. I love his solo on "Flyin' Home" with the Benny Goodman...

Hey Jerry, How long (hours of play) does a typical Honer 1896 last you before you blow a reed and replace it? Seems like I'm buying new ones way to often.  The cost just keeps...
