Hey Bill... maybe record yourself counting beats and just start playing along. Or download a metronome (or you may have one) and start counting along. One thing you dont want to do is start counting and playing and really thinking about it at the same time. All the feel will fly out the door. Just let it come to you. It will happen. Soon you will be at the point of having musical ESP. You will hear those changes coming!

 

Watch dancers too... you will see good ones just flowing and then you will see the ones who count every beat and stomp around like bigfoot. Which in dancing is totally me. :)

I love the bit you talk about with the old fellas fighting thier guitars, strings, the sloppiness that comes form all that (which I love)

I always say "All us young guns and modern players spend all this money to get the tone of guys who didnt have a damn dollar to thier name and we cant seem to come close"

It has so much to do with things you can buy or learn... 

Another great lesson. One of my all time fav songs. I have a video of me playing with my band. Maybe I'll try to post for you if I muster the courage. :)

Yeah... I really like this feel. I have even oplayed it on many tunes myself but it's ncie to step back from yourself a bit and hear it and dissect it and remember some of the little flourishes here and there.

Indeed... gives it that slippery, almost drunk feel at times. Love it!

Just amazing lessons Duke. You have been an inspiration for many many years and I thank you. One suggestion. The tab has all the 1st frets notated but if you capo at the 1st they would really be open strings, no? THanks again for all this!
