I have an odd habit of making my vibrato on my blows be too rhythmic..I mine in time rather than just expressive. I have complete control on my guitar vibarto...slow fast deep wide etc. On harp the habit is hard frome to manage.

again this lesson like many others here is calling out for a simple chord chart so that one could grasp the basics on the progression and not be forced to start with the  hot filigree......I do not need the whole thing tabbed out but having a chord chart gives one a chance to address wehat the progression is. prettyplease! Duke's lessons also suffer from this lacking. Start simple and slow and build up to it. dial it back for great comprehension. 

I mean I can hear the what is what but with all that playing it gets hard to keep it straight.

 

thanks for hearing me out.....

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.....

Daddyray (Robbie) commented on: How Long Blues Chords Apr 20, 2012

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 something new is introduced. I am not used to all these shapes. I can grab them but it is hard to be catching new to me chords and follow the sequences when they disappear so quickly. For the 1 chord on these I usaully play a root of the sixth string and I do not voice the b string so that is a pretty big switch in my grips. I am enjoying this very much and am merely offering my little old opinion to make it easier.

nicely explained.....I am mainly guitarsist who is a former harp student  of Joe Filsko but my harp chops are a mess now. I am curious to hear and see how you teach this stuff. 

 

I have a couple of buddies that have wanted me to show them some hard so I will encourage them to try these lessons out.

 

I also would like to say thanks for all the music you've made. Your playing has been a huge inspiration to me since I starting fooling around with the instruments where I grew up..Muddy's blue sky stuff was really my inroads to this stuff because all the Chess stuff was out of print. I used to cut school and go into chicago to find the blues bus or hit Rose on wabash and buy a few things. Your playing and Luther Johnson's playing on Baby Please Don't Go (off the live record) made me NEED to learn to play. so again the biggest of thanks!

Daddyray (Robbie) commented on: Everybody Ought To Change Lesson 3 Apr 17, 2012

this is nice stuff..thanks. I know the main riff as a Mance thing and the slide D7 shaped A chord from Robert Johnson of course.  ..the filligre across the 4 chord is cool. I have played that differently but now I ahave some new variations. Thanks you

 

(and some of us cannot sing and play at the same time...and oddly since my foot is messed up I cannot tap my foot in time (as my drummer brothers razz me about that endlessly...different strokes for different folks as Sly sang))

Thanks Duke...just ran through the whole series. Interesting to see what I had been playing differently than you do and besides the trouble of UNlearning my lines I can have some fun mixing and matching......I am grateful for te chance to enjoy these.
