	Duke robillard left a comment on: Want Ad Blues Groove and Intro Riff Hey Bruce, Sounds good and good spirit to it. I likes! That's much more the groove of the tune. Nice Les Paul too!
	Bruce dumes left a comment on: Want Ad Blues Groove and Intro Riff Hey again, Duke! So here's another take, more appropriate tempo and now with singing. There is something so hypnotic about the JLH thing. I can't keep that groove completely locked...
	Tom k. left a comment on: Want Ad Blues Groove and Intro Riff Thanks Duke . Nice stuff .
	Chris eldridge left a comment on: Banks of the Ohio Crosspicking and the Backward Roll Hey Kip, I believe the video in question was a medley of a fiddle tune called "Whistlin' Rufus" into a John Hartford song called "Let Him Go On, Mama."
	Kip marchetti left a comment on: Gold Rush Second Solo and Moving Up the Neck In the latter half of the 1st solo - I feel compelled to play it like I do in take # 2 and # 4 of this short video but I believe you want me to play it the way I do in take #1...

	Bruce dumes left a comment on: Want Ad Blues That's a great story about your 1st guitar, Duke! I imagine you must have a special place in your heart for Teles, like a first love. My first electric was a red '69 Harmony...
	Chris eldridge left a comment on: Banks of the Ohio Introduction to Crosspicking Hey Kip, it might be a little tricky at first, but like anything, with a little practice it'll become second nature. Really try to focus on the up/down flow in your hand and arm....
	Duke robillard left a comment on: Want Ad Blues Small world isn't it Bruce. johnathan Swifts? I'm not sure, I played every club in that area. I did build my first guitar but not in school. I drew a Tele pattern on a board and my...
	Kip marchetti left a comment on: Banks of the Ohio Crosspicking and the Backward Roll Can I go off topic for a second - not sure its appropriate but I just watched a video on Youtube where Chris is picking a song that I think is called Let Him Go On Mama? Anway, the...

	Guitar dave left a comment on: Want Ad Blues Groove and Intro Riff Duke, Great John Lee story, touching. We can read books about them all but a video story from you made me smile all the way to my heart, like JLH did. thanks Duke!
	Kip marchetti left a comment on: Banks of the Ohio Introduction to Crosspicking Very cool and sounds great but like most cool and great sounding things it isn't as easy as it looks. I find it difficult (initially anyways) to follow a downstroke on the melody...
	Bill blatner left a comment on: Cotton Blend 5th Chorus Breakdown What's tough Rick is that when you play something you say is "wrong" you still sound better than me on my best day. I was thinking also that you kind of scoff at yourself when you...

	Jerry portnoy published a lesson: Cotton Blend 6th Chorus Breakdown This verse begins with a figure I lifted directly from Cotton. Around bar number five, it transitions into a cute little teaser on the 3 draw, probably inspired by Jr Wells. Then...

	Duke robillard published a lesson: Want Ad Blues Groove and Intro Riff Hello Friends, This week we are working on the second and final lesson for Want Ad Blues. We will go over some of the same points but I add in a few new chord voicings and riffs....
	Chris eldridge published a lesson: Banks of the Ohio Crosspicking and the Backward Roll There is a great crosspicking variation called a backward roll that I stole from my dad, Ben Eldridge, who plays banjo. Banjo typically is played using a forward roll, where you...
	Bill blatner left a comment on: Cotton Blend 5th Chorus Breakdown I love it when you make a "mistake". Something cool just seems to slip out from somewhere inside. On the rare occasions when that happens to me I'm like, whoa, where'd that come...
	Bruce dumes left a comment on: Want Ad Blues Not the Speakeasy. I saw you at the Speakeasy with Roomfull many (many) times. I used to bombard you with requests for Guitar Slim, because nobody but you could play it like him...

	Bruce dumes left a comment on: Want Ad Blues Thanks a lot, Duke! As usual, you have (and I mean this in the most flatteringly way possible) tremendously big ears. Boogie Chillin' is much more familiar to me and was very much...

	Stephane left a comment on: Fundamentals of Open E Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground - Key Riffs thanks Corey for your answer. your bottleneck seems to be closed at the top, i think it's really practical, but i don't find any like yours. otherwise, i'm new on this site....
	Dustin raley left a comment on: You Don't Know My Mind Soloing and Playing to the Guitar's Strengths Thanks for the response! The explanation about grace notes really helps. I noticed I wasn't getting the pull-off in there either. And thanks for the tip about singing. I'll...
	Chris eldridge left a comment on: You Don't Know My Mind Soloing and Playing to the Guitar's Strengths Hey Dustin, sounding really good! Good rhythm playing too. In addition to the hammer-on/grace note explained in the video above, my only other comment is to really think about...
