My own solo ... Hmmm ... if you say so but that could be a project that will take a while. BTW I'm really looking forward to seeing you and Julian out there this winter. My own...

Hey Duke! Always loved this tune. I hope you are going to do a track for this one, it would *really* help a lot. I'm looking forward to the challenge of solo! How's the feel on...

Thanks Chris ... I have to straighten out this constant extra beat stuff with everything ... I think its a combination of trying too much too quickly. I've felt from the beginning...

This week I'm showing you the intro that I played from the first video for this song. Again, I'm trying to play to the guitars strengths, leaning very heavily on the melody, but...

Darren, that's a definite feel improvement.  Try playing it slower, but still with the close, careful attention to the feel. It's hard to make things groovy when you're going slow...
1621 thumb Chris eldridge left a comment on: Is It Too Late Now? Earl Scruggs Licks
Kip,  it's sounding good but you're doubling your down strokes when you go to play the first G note on the first string. If you straighten that out I suspect it might get a little...

I know, right? It's not what people usually think of when they think of Earl Scruggs, but to me it's quintessential stuff. 
1621 thumb Chris eldridge left a comment on: Whiskey Before Breakfast Crosspicking the B Section
Kip, this is GREAT! Really sounds musical and groovy in a way I haven't heard from you before. Awesome job! The only thing is that there are a few extra beats at the end of the 2nd...

Hi Folks, This week we learn the melody to Avalon a la Duke. The actual melody is quite a bit simpler than I actually play it but I came up with a rendition that I feel swings...

Hey Sonic Junction - This week we've got verse 6 of "Mr. Lee's Mambo". Remember back in verse 4, how it began with a semi-dramatic "shifting gears" by starting on the 2nd beat?...

 I'm I anywhere close to making this feel right? I play along with the NB video and I can feel it but just can't seem to get it on my own. 
Duke Rand hyden left a comment on: Route 66 Intro & First Chorus
Well Duke, I've got to see you whenever you came to town and now to be be able to learn a few licks from you is an honor. I am 65 years old and proof that an old dog can learn new...

Greetings Edu.  I would say that you could slow it down and that will help.  Also try using a lighter touch on the strings...I have found that this is usually a the reason why we...

Greetings Jay.  All you need to do is just learn it slow and then gradually, over time speed it up to tempo.  If you know it slow then you really know it.  So just take your time...

 Hi Corey and everybody! I know that the tempo must be more consistent and, because I'm tryin' to sound more straight, sometimes I lose the control of my fingers and play not...

Hi Jan, Because you say you had the same problem with your previous harp, I would suspect that this may be a problem of technique rather than the harmonica itself.   Using lip...

These licks are very boogie-woogie-piano-like. That first lick sounds like a left hand bass line.
