Well, after about 20 takes and quite a few expletives, I got this far!  Chris this lesson is amazing - I've been trying to get to grips with this version of the tune...

Hi Dennis, So here are some theory questions. Does being in the key of F just mean that the root note is F? I guess my main question is, what determines which notes "work" or...

Here we will learn how to get the most out of the chords we have learned, by fingerpicking. Pay special attention to your thumb and the alternating bass line and make that yours...

Hi Harpsters - For this week we tackle the second chorus of my Two-Way Boogie. I pay particular attention to several things, one of them being my sharp articulation and staccato...

Hey Duke! BTW, I'm feeling great; all is going well. Anyway, here's my take on this. Hope you like it! Hope you have a wonderful holiday and happy new year. Here's to 2020. Bruce...

Why can't I download the iPhone App in Taiwan? I'm a USA citizen traveling here for the next 2 years and the AppStore says my region is not supported..

Hi !! is there a backing track ??

Very nice playing, Charlie!

Here's my take on Johnny's Blues.  Most licks borrowed from the Duke!

You are very welcome! 

You are very welcome! 

As far as the Joe Turner record, there's nothing quite like it that I'm aware of. As for the Johnny Hodges small band sessions, that is some of my favorite music ever. Tunes like...

Cool!

Cool!

Maybe I'll have to call Paul in to show is his part!

PS I wanted to share this with you. Wrote and recorded a Christmas song. Sharing with you because I couldn't play a note of this if it wasn't for you! Hope you like it - very merry...

Hi Duke - thanks for this, love this tune (and really LOVE the duo version with you and Paul). As ever here's my first cut for any feedback : )

Critter - we sure this snippet of tab is correct, from The Likes of Me? It looks and sounds like in that 2nd measure, you're  pulling off the "C" on the 5th string twice rather...

There's a story I heard about Bix where the publisher was trying to get a transcription of him playing "In a Mist", but Bix couldn't stop himself from improvising every time he got...

We will learn the chords and their progression in this first lesson. Take your time learning the chords and how they move together. Don't worry about the fingerpicking at this...

Hello Friends, This week we have the track for you to play to for Johnny's Blues. It's in Bb and playing this head with the track is good practise for getting your left hand used...

Hi Junctioneers - This week we start looking at my Two Way Boogie. The first chorus here is more of a basic look at playing a typical "Boogie" pattern on 2nd position blues harp...

Oh! This is what I was looking for. I'm trying to resurrect this story again. Sorry... From the top, you said using both L.R. and ATM350, so are there two holes in the end pin of...

 Thank you, Larry for comment! It's hard to stay still without groove, when you a blues and lindy hop dancer:)   I like vintage closing but tee shirt with Rick signature fit better...

wow. what a natural groove you've got! Can't see much to criticize. Keep doin' what you're doin'.  If you want a suggestion, work on that body movement visual = watch how Rick or...

Hi Rick from Moscow (at now). Kosta here)At last I have made the video of this cool thing! Thank you for your lessons! And I like your stories, man. Please check my home work) Will...

Will do.  Thanks Dennis. 

Will do.  Thanks Dennis. 

Hi Bill - follow through with this whole series first, then let me know what questions you have. I'll help in any way, but I do break some of it down...

I know there is some reticence to get deep into the theory, but perhaps you can point me toward some source.  I can see and hear the roots of the changes, but I don't understand...
