My Next set of lessons are on the T-Bone Walker classic T-Bone Shuffle. A great tune with a great "head" or theme. This one should be lots of fun!

Hey Rick, Nice take on T-Bone! I  like how you used the turn around from Two Bones and a pick for a slow blues turn around. Nice pickin'! Duke

I think the best bandmate shows up on time, listens to the music and knows how to share with and support the other players.

Hi Guys ... video issue is fixed.  The URL had too many YouTube tracking parameters.  We will update out software to take these out in the future. Great playing Rick!

Hi Rick, I tried a few times but couldn't get your video to play. Maybe consult Mike about it and he most likely can help. Duke

Duke! You are my hero. How about a lesson on Hollywood Fats and his Rock This House? You're such a fantastic teacher and player.

Hi Ben ... SWEET !! I like how you are moving with the music and your low end tone.  The slide into the note around 0:33 is cool.  The more I watch Jerry, the more I realize how...
