Thanks Steve, yes Otis is fabulous and Mike is the best practitioner of his style I know. i was lucky enough to get to meet and play with Otis at the 1990 Chicago blues festival in...

Yes, i am using the quilter for all my lessons. They don't sell the Quilter here in Canada. I would have liked to check your their 8 inch model. All the quilter Aviators use the...

I did hear you play yours I think and did look them up.it sounded great! Duke

Also - one of the things I love about the Eric and Stevie versions is how much of themselves they brought to the table when covering it; Clapton streamlined that intro into a...

Hi Jerry, Your getting there. Just keep on preacticing it and try really thinking about the groove. You have all the notes correct. Also a big part o  f the rhythm has to do with...

Me too! Glad you're enjoying it. 

I think there's a recording of that set out there somewhere...

Yeah, I love the two sections. It's like getting to play two awesome songs in one. Have you tried palm muting the rhumba section? You've got the right idea, but muting those low...

Nice work, Bruce! (Also, LOVE the Rick 325 and Duo Jet back there...) I notice you're using all downstrokes on that little 16th note skip; have you tried alternating just that one...

it was fantastic Mike I totally enjoyed it, you are such a great musician,maybe you can join Duke  and the gang in teaching lessons on Sonic junction that would be great.

I haven't recorded it; as much as Otis is one of my biggest influences both vocally and on guitar, I've never covered one of his tunes on record. I always thought it would be fun...

Hey everybody, I just wanted to say hi and thank Duke and all of you for having me. I'm new to the whole instructional video thing, but I hope you get something out of these...

Awsome,I always loved this song, from otis, stevie and eric,they all sound fantastic, I wonder if Duke and Mike have a recorded version?

I agree, I have been using a Deluxe Reverb reissue for the last 8 years. Great amp. The older reissues had an issue with the caps but i think they have overcome that. I also picked...

Thanks Duke - I just got a very good deal on a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe so hopefully that'll give me what I need. I've always loved the blues junior for tone but also convience - I'm...

I would also suggest local blues societies, because over time you can get to know and hook up with people you can benefit by playing with.  Many of these have long jams on weekends...

I like how this song switches between two distinct versions of a 12-bar blues: The first section in the key of Em with a straight-eights rumba feel, and then a key change to F#...

Hi Steve, Man that is fabulous! you have such a great feel for the phrasing. I am very impressed! Playing along with the track a bit will help you find where everything fits but...

Sure Sunny, Where should i send it? Duke

Hi charlie, It could just be that a blues junior is just under powered for a gig with so many peices. I fact, I like to use a blues junior on small gigs and sometimes even in just...

There are usually more than one blues jam in a city,sometimes many. i may payoff to investigate the different ones in your area. Not every jam is the same and once you get to know...

Hi Mike and Duke,   Love the Otis Rush! Thanks, Steve

If there's a proper sound system with monitors, have the sound person mic the amp and augment it through your monitor.  Otherwise, you can try to have the band lower the general...

Thanks, Duke!
