103 thumb 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...

In this lesson I will walk you slowly through how I play the tune as well as variations that you may want to try out. I will also discuss the slide technique that I call decay...

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....

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...

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...

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...

I didn't realize you spent time in boston! are you refering to the Speakeasy? There were quite a few clubs in that area and I played them all. Seems like yesterday and a million...

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...

Hi Bruce,  You sound good bruce but the tempo of Want As Blues is much slower giving it a very different feel than what you are playing. that being said, you are playing a nice...

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...
1621 thumb 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...
1621 thumb Chris eldridge left a comment on: Gold Rush Second Solo and Moving Up the Neck
Kip, great job! I love how you're playing the melody your own way but still sticking to the essence of what I taught. Fantastic. Also, I really love the spirit behind how you're...
Corey Tom dancer left a comment on: Fundamentals of Open E Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground - Key Riffs
regarding Stephane's question.....I find a couple of bottles I like from the recycleing center and saw the necks off until one "speaks" to me.  Might try a tile cutter or take it...

I agree.  Thank you for your thoughts on the topic.

I personally like E and A because it's possible to tune up my acoustic and play some bottleneck without changing the action; whereas tuning down to G or D does not work as well...

It is also probable that at least Open G was used in the South and called by other names, depending on who was handing it down to who and when. But Open G Spanish is also a...

Corey:  I think these lessons are terrific.  I think it's very important to identify really key blues techniques that reoccur in addition to learning songs.  They form sort of a...

I wish I could tell you where I buy this one or the brand name but I don't remember.  I prefer a thick glass slide if I am playing a normal wood body guitar.  If I am playing a...

Greetings and thanks....I think you are talking about when I fret the third string on the second fret...yes it gives me more strength for the hammer on on.  Great question.

Hi Corey.  I'm a big fan and loving the lessons.  I was wondering if there's any particular reason why you move out of the E chord position for the first part of the main lick...

Hi Corey, I live far from a city, in the countryside, so we have very slow Internet connection. To watch a film is very, very time consuming. As I can only read standard musical...
