  Hello Corey Before I go any further with this tune I wanted to make sure I'm hearing the downbeat in the right place. I'm nodding my head goofily here to show where I think the...

Awesome. I will work on that! Thanks for the feedback, Duke.

Hello Brandon, You sound great and you have the feel. I would say with a groove this slow, you should try to relax your feel just a little bit to make it even groovier. Keep up the...

Here's my vid, Duke and everybody. Bb's version and then some peter green. It's been really nice practicing set solos, definitely helps with discipline and phrasing, stops me from...

@Corey Thank you Corey i'll try you're advice and work the song in that way :)

@Peter Wolf....you are exactly right!

Hi James, It would be interesting to hear it on a resonator guitar. Duke 

Duke   Thanks for the encouragement. I'm just a little frustrated with hitting the panic button too much and heading back to home base. These new licks are starting to sink in,...

Hi Guy, Merry Christmas Baby is a good one. And appropriate too! Great guitar on the original version! Duke  

Hi Tom, G is an unusual key but when I sing it it's my vocal key so that's why it's in G. Mickey Freeman sang it on my Wobble Walkin' album and she sang it in Ab. that's a...

Wow , never say never .  Been playing this song for years , usually in key of C , sometimes in Bb , but never key of G . Thank you Duke . Keep me on my toes . Never too old to try...

HI Preston, Insofar as "In Old Shantytown" - I've come across the title but I don't know the song itself,

Aria You're making all the right sounds, which is great! Your time is a bit off, however. If you sing the song in your head as you play, you'll naturally play it in time. Also,...

Merry Christmas baby- Charles Brown & Johnny Moore

This week we will work on the two solo sections in the song as well as continue to focus on getting the right tones out of the slide. Make sure you are listening as much as you are...

Hi Duke ... love the tune and your arrangement.  Now that I've learned a couple tunes like this, those chords are coming easier to me which is really exciting The chord melody you...

When I play the one hole blow I'm straight lip pursing. No tongueing or ta-doo effect.

Here's the backing track for "Easy". Have the melody firmly entrenched in your mind and it really will be easy. A harp in key of E.

Hey RJ ----just saw some of your stuff on utube ....love it kind regards Terry

Mike, thanks! I really enjoy the tone from just fingers these days, tho you can't pick up speed. duke's lesson on Guitar Watson style really helpeD. I don't use any effects, just...

Wow thank you Mike, for taking the time to give me your insights! I really appreciate it I agree with what you say about Duke's playing absolutely - that's what brought me here!...

Thanks Duke and Mike.

Wow

Hey Steve, You sound fabulous! Love that vibrato. You really have that sound and feel down! Duke       

Hi Steve, I'm sure it will start showing itself before too long. When you feel comfortable it will start coming out. One thing I must point out is its normal not to want to blow a...

Hi Tom, That's not off the wall at all. It's a good question actually that I am happy to give you my opinion on. The set up of ones instrument is a very personal thing. While some...

Duke   Thanks for all cool riffs and solos. I've been trying to incorparate these concepts into my live playing but only having some success with it. Seems like when I get into...

Hi Tony ... Wow.  That Tone!!  Love that raw finger sound around 1:50 onward.  It packs a lot of punch!  It's nice how there is a little overdrive / distortion ... but not too much...

Hi Joe Welcome to Sonic Junction.  You ask a lot of good questions ... let me try and take them one by one. The fact you've been playing all of your life is a real gift, meaning...
