You're a joy to listen to--and a very effective teacher, not afraid to nag when it's about something important.  I really need those constant reminders about the metronome.  If you...

Beings of Sonic Junction - welcome back to the next chorus (Chorus 3) of my new study song "Buffle Off To Shuffalo". This week there is still plenty of shuffle rhythming going on...

By pure chance I found a "jazz drum track brushes 150 bpm back track"( on the Tube) and it doesn't sound that faster than Duke's105bpm. How come ?it seems to fit Honeysuckle...

Hi Weeks, welcome to the site! I've mostly laid things out so that different concepts and techniques tend to build on each other, so I'd recommend going in chronological order....
1621 thumb Chris eldridge left a comment on: Banks of the Ohio Introduction to Crosspicking
No, not necessarily at all. I played everything very evenly in the example for clarity (although the super even approach does sound nice in it's way). Feel free to accent strong...
1621 thumb Chris eldridge left a comment on: Banks of the Ohio Playing Melody Whilst Accompanying Yourself
Yes, sounds great! That's a fully legit reading of the song. One thing that I personally would do differently (so take this or leave it) is I probably wouldn't emphasize the...

I was having the breakup trouble too and  Mike pointed me to the connection speed thing.  That was the problem.  All fixed up now.  Thanks, Mike.

Hi Chris I recently joined the site and I love your playing. You have a lot of focus on bluesy notes and slightly dissonant notes that I have always found very interesting. I am...

 Trying trying trying again. In the cross pick are all the notes to have the same emphasis? Any kind of exercise you can recommend to improve that?

This any better? I personally like the bobble head I've added in for visual effect haha! geeze

You may want to think of a rubber band in your head. Rubber bands usually last a long time, as long as they are not stretched too far beyond their capacity. If you stretch it just...

I practice your mantra to play softly, but it's good to have the reminder.  Also your advice to go easy on that 4-hole bend lest we blow out the reed seems particularly appropriate...

Hello. First of all , thank you for all those great lessons. It is really a joy to learn with your help . I was wondering what guitar you are playing in this video?

It takes time but not that difficult once you get the hang of it...and makes a HUGE difference.
