Hi Mike: Yes, it works now. Thanks.  Now, just another thought. I came to Davell from the harp side of things - I've been trailing Jerry, Rick and Dennis for a couple years now,...

Chris - thanks. I think with this lesson I didn't spend a sufficient amount of time with you and the tabs. I'm not a huge tab guy but there is something to be said for using them...

Hey Mike: My compliments on the direction SJ is going. To my thinking Davell Crawford is a great addition. For a sheer piano newbie, he's often way over my head. But that's a good...

I've got a computer that is trying its hardest to die, but I've put it on life support and keep loving it one-way, despite its best efforts.  Sorry for the lag:(

I started out with Catfish, but hadn't scrolled all the way down on your tracks.  Skip is hands down my favorite and your interpretation is unbelievable.   This is where I'm at...

Chris - I'll work on that. I didn't have a complete understanding of what I was supppsed to do or better yet ... what a trill is supposed to sound like. I didn't really pick it out...
1621 thumb Chris eldridge left a comment on: Nashville Blues Norman Blake: Funkiest Flatpicker of All Time
Kip, once again, great job! There are 2 things to work on here: - You are adding a few beats around 2:04-2:06. Those trills are triplets so the notes are coming alot faster than...

Kip, there is no correct tempo. I probably just play it too fast most of the time! :-) Play it wherever you feel it. The other thing is that you will have good days and bad days...

 Ok - here's what I got. Tele thru a little Champion. I LOVE Freddie, and know I'm nowhere near doing him justice. Still try to shake the 'English' out of my playing (as in too...

Hi. Those bass runs that seemed so difficult to play are finally explained... thank you! But after years on alternate picking it's almost impossible to me to play all downstrokes!

Hi Dennis --- can you remind me how you get the "distorted" note --- are you picking up a bit of an adjacent hole?
