Hey Boyd Juke is a sophisticated tune that takes real command of technique to play well. Take what you can from these lessons and think of learning this tune as a long term...

Hi guys The satisfaction you'll feel when you finally get this will be more than worth the effort. Make sure you have a good "seal" and that you're playing a clear single note to...

Hey Phil, Just keep at it. Persistence over time will yield results. Guaranteed!! Jerry

Hi DaddyRay & Duke .. Thanks.  I updated the chords.  C6 was easy ... it was a typo.  I think I got the second chord correct ... both fingering and voicing.  Let me know if you...

Thank you again.  I need a lot of work on this... and I'm running out of breath and moving my head, forcing the sounds, some squealing out.  I intend to keep practicing along...

Jerry, this is the best lesson I've had.  Thank you for sharing what you know.  You've given me a way to practice and the sounds to listen for.  It is priceless and being able to...

Yes Ray, You are correct sir! The first chord is a C6th and whatever the second chord is is wrong. I will have to look at it and see what chord should be there. Thanks for the...

the above diagram of the turn around chords seeems to be in error. the first chord is a C6 isn't it and then what is the deal with the other turnaround chord.....

Hey Jerry ... just viewed this video again.  Very powerful.  After seeing this for the first time, I've been trying to listen and play (mostly guitar ... but harp too) ... with as...

Mike, On that final chorus I am pretty much playing Little Milton/ BB King lines. Miltons style was based on BBs directly and is just a personal varition of BBs playing. So...

Seeing I don't use fake books, generally speaking, I don't feel qualified to really elaborate more than I already have. But I can say that I often use changes in fake books as a...

Thanks Bob, I try and pick tunes that are hopefully interesting to the subscribers. So far seems like people are digging the lessons. I appreciate your feedback. Duke.

Duke this is THE stufff! Well taught andwell presented. There is a whole of learning in this one. Thanks ever so much!

It's always pianists in my case-- Bill Evans especially, because the piano is a chordal instrumant like the guitar-- we can only play six notes at a time, they're good for ten--...

I'd Like to play guitar as a drum....djembe preferibly :)

@Corey....sorry just a favour about HFB...Could you post the lyrics? You already Know the reason Why I'm asking this :DDD

This week I demonstrate the whistles and other train sounds at the beginning of “Mystery Train” including a slurring effect that is used often in playing blues.   I’m playing an A...

Lol not hats but turbans...one piece of cloth wrapped around the head.  Get them online and sometimes at a store near my home.

My main instrument for inspiration is the saxophone.  My favorite players are Bird, Buster Smith, Lester Young, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon.  I also get a lot of inspiration from...

Any good music played by good musicians...Trombone alto sax trumpet and harp lines translate to guitar well. hearing breathing patterns helped me learn to phrase better...I grew up...

Thanks for the nice comments. Stick with it. Patience and dedication pay off.

Hi Ben Yes, you can use this technique above the third hole as well but, for the most part, i'll switch to tongue blocking at the fourth hole and above because that way I'll get a...

Hi Duke .. absolutely love this lesson!  The Little Milton shuffle blew me away ... I'm going to learn all three choruses and get them into my head!   One question .. what you do...

We will consider your suggestion seriously Daddyray!

Another relatively simple chorus. I do show one spot where i switch from lipping to tonguing. Through the repetition involved in learning these choruses and constantly bouncing...

For my use, I would love for the chords on the page here to be labeled and I would like to see any set of chords played through twice so one might get a chance to chug along before...

Hi Folks, This week we are working on blues shuffles starting with the uptown and downtown box patterns that are used in so many blues shuffles. Brad displayed a few variations...
