Hi Folks, this week we end the "Fishnet" lesson with more solo ideas and the ending. I teach a few Buddy Guy type licks then also show how some Kenny Burrell style riffs really nicely in this groove. It's important to remember that you can employ a swing feel over the top of a groove like this. If fact 60s soul Jazz was all about that. I also demonstrate how you can play Albert King style licks over this and how they work well up high. I give away many of my signature licks here and my "In Crowd" lick is a good example. Using the high E string as the root note here (on G) and the third string playing the 4 b5 and 5 you can make some really cool sounds, in this case a quote from the "In Crowd." I also teach a method of signaling your band mate an ending and demonstrate how I end "Fishnet" live by playing the decending 13th chords and retarding them from the Bb13 down which is another way to end a song. All in all you are getting an awful lot of my musical ideas here on this tune so eat em' up and send me some videos! And Remember, my point here is to give you some good tools to develop your own style of bluesy playing. I demonstrate the best of what I have developed in my playing over the past 50 years here at Sonic-Junction and I hope it helps you become a better player and have fun along the way. Enjoy, Duke

Hi Duke,
Here's my re-take on Fishnet, It was fun to revist this tune. As always thanks for the lesson and any feedback.

Hi Marty, Great playing there! Some real nice funky stuff utilizing a lot of different techniques. Very GOOD! Duke
Thanks for the feedback Duke!
Hi Duke, Here's something I put together while the turkey was cooking..
I played along with you for the first chorus did some chord fills for the second then improvised a solo based on some of the ideas you presented.
Thanks for the lesson, have a great Thanksgiving!
Hi Scott, I'm using a Roland 30 watt cube. But what you are saying is probably not the amp but the balance of the pickups or the pickups themseleves. Try lowering the bass side of the pickups a lot. For the neck pickup you can really bury the bass side and the low end will still be there but not so muddy. If its still muddy try new pickups like Seymour Duncan 59s or Duncan Seth Lovers. they are lower output and will be less muddy. Duke
Duke, I play a Korean made Epi Sheridan. It's actually a relatively new experience for me as I played strats mostly and acoustic.
This may be a left field question, but I find lots of amps that just don't take it very well. Ends up muddy from the humbuckers. What are you playing through in these lessons? Any suggestions ?
Hi Duke ... I love the "In Crowd" quote. Learning about these classic tunes and how you draw inspiration and ideas from them is priceless to me. Thanks so much.
