@Corey..thanks for the lesson :)....Palm muting and slide control is the most challenging and important thing for me to study when I play slide. I'm not so interested in speak too...

Hi Mike, It's just the finger numbers for the 9th. 3's instead of 1's etc. Tim.

Hi Tim .. thanks for the feedback.  Which chords do you think I missed?  I re-check and update.  Thanks!

I think Mike got the fingerings wrong for the 9th chords. . . Tim.

Thanks Tim, Next up- Chicago blues in E ! Duke

Hi Duke This Lesson 2 is really useful as a starting point with the "Slow Blues" theme.  Perhaps it should have been considered as Lesson 1, as we're used to the "chords first"...

Hi Stekks .. Got it.  Sorry for the issue, we will resolve in the next day or two.   Mike

Hi, The first solo lesson of Memphis Grind is not working. The video doesn't show up and the tabs are all the way to the right and cut off. Maybe the webmaster could take a look...

Hi, I was buying some Hound Dog Taylor songs on Itunes and "The Goat" was listed under his songs (off the album "Come On In This House"). It's clear, however, Junior Wells is...

This week we're re-issuing one of Duke's most popular lessons: Slow Blues In C.  We've updated the lesson with a full transcription of the solo's 2nd chorus.  Next week Duke will...

This week we're going to begin learning Little Walter's Juke - the most famous of all harmonica instrumentals. We'll take it in small bites, one chorus a week, until we work our...

@Corey .. Moanin' at Midnight is AWESOME!!  Thanks for the introduction.

You're welcome Duke :)) I'm not very expert with music theory but about woman body language...well this is something that is international!!! :)) I only share another video because...

Hi Mike, What I'm thinking is just the notes I'm about to play and how I can bend them and stretch them to make ME feel good. But really, that is in a very etheral way or state of...

Hi Duke .. I'm really enjoying this lesson .. thank you!  It's going to be some work for me to create really emotional solos.  I can run around and play pentatonic licks ... but...

Hi Bruce, The chord voicings I use are just what I've figured out that works from the hunderds of tunes that are based on "I Got Rhythm" There are many different inversions of...

Hello Alex, That is very cool music using the 1 and the 5 to create a spellbinding effect. Between the hypnotic effect of the music and the woman dancing, I believe it could cure a...

Hy Duke...nice to talk to you...sorry for not being very present at your lessons but at the moment I'm really focused on acoustic blues. I don't even have an electric guitar but as...

Hi Ron, Thanks, I will be doing more on the key of E Chicago style blues soon. Duke

Bluesman, This would actually be a good next lesson so I will put key of E chicago blues variations on my list. Duke

Oops - my bad!  F is not 5th position for C#, A is and that sounds a lot better (for See Me In the Evening).

Of course this is all great music and great performances. Music truly is the universal language

Hi Alex, That was really beautiful! And I love the no changes thing and all the different players and genres. Verry Cool! 

Can I add also this one? Playin for Change I think is one of the best musical project ever made...Don't know if you guys have ever heard about this incredible mixture of...

Duke   Phenomenal lesson! I am from the South Side of Chicago...and always have struggled with this type of Low Down Blues sound. I can't keep up with the wealth of lessons you got...

One last question (hope you don't mind all of this being off topic but I'm learning a lot) - I have the main blues keys -  A, Bb, C, D, E, Eb, F, and G.  If I were to get a few...

Thanks Jerry and Mike.  Not having an F# or a B, I tried it on an F (fifth position) and it sounded okay - actually kind of cool.  I read a description of fifth position which said...

The song is in the key of C#. I would play this in 2nd position on an F# harp or in third position on a B harp.

Hi Rich .. Great tune! I'm going to be jamming with that one.  It sounds like it is C# / Db to my ears.  That guitar lick at 1:46 is awesome!
