I prefer to think of it as a goal-oriented growth mindset, but it definitely has the look and feel of an affliction at times.  Do you do those first three draw chords all on one...

In this last lesson we will focus on different ways to make the ending more interesting. We will talk about slight alterations that you can do, such as adding a D major 7 before...

This fifth verse of Blue Strollin' is almost all about vibrato and double-stops. I'm using the term "double-stop" in an attempt to properly describe the playing of two adjacent...

Thanks, Duke!!
2018 thumb Bruce dumes left a comment on: Route 66 Intro & First Chorus
Ha ha! Sorry, Duke. No, I meant that I'm playing the intro on guitar as well as rhythm guitar, and a more experienced guitar player was playing slide. Then later on, I overdubbed...

Hey Bill - Congratulations on the tongue blocking! It's gonna be well worth the effort!

I agree completely that your "quotes" fit seamlessly.  It's a beautiful tune and a great set of lessons.  I played it, at my best so far, for the first time this weekend with a...

Lewis, psychology indeed! You're sounding really good! I especially like the groove you get. It's got a real nice weight to it. I'm loving hearing everyone playing these songs!
804 thumb Rick estrin left a comment on: Blue Strollin' Fourth Chorus Breakdown
Musical quotes can be fun and useful. The ones I used here just naturally popped out when I was coming up with the song - They seemed (to me) like they fit the piece perfectly and...
Duke Lewis left a comment on: Wildwood Flower Tony Rice Style Melody and Reharmonization
Hey Chris, My attempt at a couple of versions (the second time around is a pass at the Tony Rice approach). I'm really finding that the less I think about it the better it...

I think Woody Guthrie said that amateurs plagiarize but artists steal shamelessly.  I prefer the idea of quoting.  Seems like a much more respectful way to borrow an idea.  The...

Sorry Bill - I meant to tell what they were and I guess I got sidetracked. I apologize. I actually did name them though, in the Sonic Junction email lesson description. Ok, so the...
