Hey Mike, Yeah, that line is a real groove! Duke

Hi Peter, Well THANK YOU! That's the spirit, any part of that solo is worth having in your arsenal for sure! Duke

Hi Danny ... thanks for the request.  We've tabbed out the high string melody.   Please me know what you think and enjoy Keep Your Lamp Trimmed and Burning .. it's a great tune!

Hi Duke ... I love the low walking riff ... I could sit back and play that for hours!!  

This week folks we finish up Honky Tonk with the low string riffs behind the sax solo and the great ending chorus with it's stop time and off beat guitar finale. During the sax...

@Alex -- I don't really hear any similarities between Django and Mance Lipscomb.  I don't know much about his life, but I do know that he learned mostly from other musicians and...

@Ben Jones -- Watch each of the four videos.  I slow down and isolate the bass line and then show how they fit with the melody riffs.  The best way is to learn the bass line first...

Hi Peter, Very good start on it. Honestly I have trouble playing it at that tempo myself. When I play it live I play it a bit slower so don't feel bad about fitting all the notes...

Hi Joe, I will consider Blues in D Natural. Not a tune I play but I'll check it out. Duke

Hi Peter, I play that riff a bit slower at 7:10 and it might be eaiser to figure out from watching it from there. It starts with sliding down on the E string from Ab to F. Duke

Hi Daddyray, I use my thumb and index finger mostly but when I use a pick and fingers too I use my middle finger in combination with the pick. Duke

Hi Tom, You are very welcome, glad to have you aboard! Duke

@Alex...I think you got it.  It sounds good to me.  I like your alternating picking too...I think you are very critical of yourself, which is good.  You will always get better that...

Hello Jerry,         When playing the two hole chords for the SBW-I Lessons is it ok to use the Tongue Blocking method or should we use  the Lip Pursing method... Thanks &...

Thanks for the lessons on Juke! That song pulls together so many of the skills you covered, plus it swings hard and is so much fun, even at half speed. Having just started to work...

@corey...only the right hand

@Corey...I'm tryin it slower...I still have problem with alternate picking mostly when I go to G, I think..I'm separating the tune and at the end I put all the pieces together...It...
