Thanks Bruno....  :)

@Alex...Thanks for the reply.  Not so bad at all...you play very well.  I think the percussive approach is good, I like to try and do that too sometimes.  But on tunes like this I...

@Corey....thanks for feedback...Before Mike mentioned it, I didn't know Creole Belle!! I just listened once very fast just to hear how similar this tunes are....I'm glad to hear...

Good start, Andrew. However, there is no double draw on the 1/2 draw chord when you return to the rhythm after slap tonguing the 4 blow or the 5 draw. It's just a single draw...

This is great!  Thanks a lot for this one.

Hi Mike, Yes Honky Tonk is in a league of its own. Simple yet completely original! Duke 

@Mike...yes itìs very similir to Creole Belle....MJH and ML I think both influenced each other :)

Corey...it's just a first approach...I'm tryin to focus on the bass lines...It's pretty hard the alternating base on the I when I add the melody! 

Been waiting for this one! I love this song. Thank you!

Great one Duke!  There's something magical about the groove of this song and the solo.  I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's a beautiful thing!

This week folks we learn the most classic of all R&B guitar solos. We will attempt the first verse which is deceptively simple. Believe me, to really play this solo correctly takes...

It's 16.0.2.   I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for all of your great feedback.
