You know that period of blues was not that clean all the time - nothing wrong with sounding like a drunk bluesman - if he's a real bluesman.  Being off beat here and there - if it...

Fantastic! I love the low lick at the very end just before the final chord. Super surprising but super cool! The B-part could be refined a bit, but that's being nitpick-y. 0:16 is...

Okay, finally got a good enough internet connection to get a low res video uploaded tonight.  I have a few more, I'll see if I can get them up here.  This is a song by Leroy Carr...

 Loving this song more and more with each lesson! I've always wondered what Tony and other amazing bluegrass guitarists (including you) do to get that bluegrassy sound. Thanks so...
