@ Mike...good to hear you trying to sing.  It's never too late to learn something new.  Do your best to try and play the bass at the same time as you are playing the melody riff...

Hi Fellow guitarists, For this weeks lesson we work on the head or theme to Chitlens Con Carne. It is a very simple melody that is straight out of the pentatonic blues box on the...

@Mike...you are the man!!!!! :DDDDD...great video...I like it and I like the timber of your voice which is in my opinion the most important thing for a singer...I mean on the rest...

WildWillie, Thank You! Mike suggested it and indeed it is the perfect groove song for my lessons. Duke

Hi DaddyRay, That guitar is a James W Murphy archtop custom made for me. It is the best archtop I have ever played, and I have owned Stromburgs, D'Angelicos, Epiphone Deluxes...

Hi Corey, here's where I am with 44 Blues.   I try to sing on this one.  I'm not a singer at all, but would love to learn.  I know it's probably a long, long road for me ... but...

Thanks Mike, I purposely varied the style of chording to show some minor variations of it. Yes, my favorite musical thing in chords is is close voicings where one or two notes...

@Corey....no worries!!! When you have time, we are here...I knew you were in Africa :) Now  We're waiting for you here in Sardinia. We are all so excited!!!!I'm happy that finally...

Corey, I know and love Wolf's version best...I think I have him doing it live as well.. I have seen Jody Williams do it around chicago (the band was a mess though) and I like...

@ Alex and mike... I am not able to watch your videos right now...something is up with my phone on thisInternet connection. I will watch when I get home to my computer. Thanks for...

@ daddy ray...sounds good. I coulndt see but a few seconds because i am watching on my phone in kigali airport and internet is really slow. You got your own way of doing it. All I...

Greetings everyone from Kigali Rwanda. I have been here for the last week,playing a festival called Kigali up with Rwandan, Senegalese, Zimbabwean and South African artists. I have...

NICE  

@Mike...I'm not a singer too!!!! :DD...I try but I should study more and also the pronunciation is a big handicap for me which is normal because english is not my mother language...

@ DaddyRay .. sounds great!  I like your right hand technique ... and the tone of your guitar sounds really good @ Alex .. awesome!  I like you're singing on this one ... great to...

duke, pardon me but what is that guitar?..it looks and sound similar to my 50s Silvertone which I dug up in a pawn shop in chicago. that good stiff archtop with a single PU in it

here is a quick overview of the way I do this one...no disrespect to how Corey does it of course. I have been grabbing phrase here and there out of these lessons to graft onto the...

the subtle variances are so cool.   They force you to slow down and give each note its turn.  thanks for turning  me on to this different way of approaching a solo!

@corey...here's my last video....I've tried also to sing...It made me smile too :))) what is more difficoult for me with this tune is put that accent on the E Chord @Mike....please...

Dear Duke,  I'm kind of confuse hered. I think you can't call this chord a Cm#9 because the #9 (d#) is also the minor  3th of the chord. If you were talking about C7#9  (the chord...

Super!

nice nice nice....

Thanks Jerry, I've been waiting for this one.  Great explanation and demonstration of the first solo.  As you said, that's the part I've had trouble with. You've given me some good...

Absolutely love this one DUKE !!  I have a new favorite chord .. Cm#9.  It's cool how some parts move with the chords and others stay the same ... like the bass note on the IV...

Hi Friends, This week we are learning the chord pattern of Kenny Burrell's "Chittlins Con Carne." It's a fun tune with a minor Latin feel. All the chords are dominant 7th chords...

Excellent lesson!  I think I've also heard the march referred to as "lumpty-lump" vs. swing.  Also, one of the things I always liked about MW's songs is the departure, at times...

Hi Ben Your time and rhythm is spot on and in general it's pretty good but there are a couple of essential things that need to be addressed. In the first phrase I hear you play 3...

Mike this is the best video ever uploaded here in sonic junction....father and son..wow!!! :DD Next time, if possible I'd like to see both in the video.....:))) why don't your son...

OK .. here's where I'm at on 44 Blues.  Loving the tune.  I still need to learn the B7 transition (which is awesome Corey!). My son is playing the drums with me on this one.
