Hi again Jerry, on the lick that starts at around 13 seconds in, after you hit the 2-5 draw, are you going to the 3-6 or 6-9 blow octave?

Hi Bill - Once again, you made me go back and take a closer look at some of the things I just automatically do and don’t really think about when I’m playing. When I release the...

😂‼️ Hi Gagi - I didn’t start doing that until I had already been playing about 20 yrs. I think everyone should get a good command on the harp WITH their hands first, before they...

This week we will focus on the main riff of the tune, paying special attention to the steady bass. Take your time playing it to lay down a solid groove. We discuss how to imply the...

That counterpoint is really just embedded in the chords and melody, both of which were written by Julian and Margaret Glaspy. So usually they would be spread across 2 guitars, but...

Hi Remy, Sorry, it seems I missed this comment from you a couple of weeks ago! I definitely think that it is not good to have your hand/wrist resting on the saddle and/or bridge...

Hey Duke!  What a great tune and so much fun to play! I'd never heard the Kenny Burrell version before; it's really amazing! Here's my version of the head. I decided to try using...

Ok, maybe fourth time's the charm. I think it's better.

Great stuff, as usual, Chris!  Is the counterpoint in this piece something that you or Julian would plan in advance, or does this come to you in the moment?

I can play all the notes, but your tone and especially the way the last note in each phrase ends is so expressive when you do it. I have a tendency to play those notes too hard I...

Hello Friends! This week I’m going to show you how to play the melody and chords to Butter and Eggs simultaneously. The basic approach isn’t very far from the one used on other...

Hey Sonic Junction - This week we’ll tackle verse two of Sloppin’ and Slidin’. Verse two is all slidin’. (Trust me, there’s some slop on the way.) With this verse, in addition to...

Yes

Hi Jerry, on these examples, when you are playing the chords, are they always the same through the changes? My ears and brain aren’t cooperating with me tonight LoL

Thanks Bruce. Yes you are making great progress. I would say only to work on steadying your tempo... Maybe try tapping your foot to keep time, it use a metronome. Also use the heal...

Hi Corey, I'm aware that I'm still occasionally doing funny things with my thumb and not always supporting the slide with my other fingers, and I'm working on that. But aside from...

Hi Corey! Still working on this one, feeling stronger on it all the time. What do you think? I know that thumb is still wacky, but it just wants so much to do that. Thanks, Bruce

Greetings Bruno. Good work. I would suggest that you mute the strings a little more to get the sound of the side more isolated. It sounds like the open B string is ringing out more...

What slide are you using?  Thanks
