Hi Boyd - Like a lot of blues-type musicians, I play strictly by ear, so I'm often just playing whatever I'm feeling at the time. When I come up with something I need to remember...

Kip, you've made incredible progress on here. The funny thing about getting better at something like guitar is that your progress occurs in plateaus. You work on something and you...

Hey John, Cool solo, huh? Thank you Norman! You've got 98% of the notes. It gets a little off around 00:22 where you added an extra beat. Also there's a few extra notes at 00:33....

Hi Luca! Nicely done. A few points: I really appreciate how calm and relaxed your face and hands are. That's good. One thing that strikes me however is that your shoulders and...

Chris - staying loose/exaggerated in the long run may (will I suppose) pay dividends but in the short term it's making the going mighty slow and frustrating. My crosspicking isn't...

I have question. Out of the music you musians play, do you write your music down or memorize it all and just keep it in your head?

Hi Corey  Bummer I just missed your gig in Sydney. Just wondering how & where can i find some exercises to get the bass thumb working steady like you discuss

What I would call a straight beat would be something like "Got My Mojo Working" by Muddy or "You Know It Ain't Right" by Little Walter. A tear dropper is the name my friend John...

Rick, I'm enjoying this one.  I like the contrasts in this lesson...nice and upbeat contrasting with the blues notes & some shock & awe!

Talk about frustrating! I'd been looking forward to this all day. Videos are not playing. At all. They don't seem to be loading. What's the deal?
