Hi Duke. How did you mod your 65 DR to get the sound you needed?

Corey, I think that someway they were obliged to use thumbpick,too!!.^__^...they didn't have amplifiers and the only way to have a higher volume was to use thumbpick or resonator...

@Alex...glad to hear that you have been making some changes that you are happy about.  It's not easy to make the switch in technique when you are used to doing something one way...

@Mike...glad to hear that you like this song.  To dampen the strings I use both right and left hands, depending on what is going on.  Experiment and see what works best for you.  I...

Ciao Mike I prefer to focus on the bass, too!!! I think it's gettin better and better...My challenge now is dynamics and to avoid playin with thumbpick which is quite difficoult...

I think Corey said something like this in one of his comments in a different thread.  It was something to the effect of "start quiet" One of my teachers once said a good solo is...

Sweet turnaround at the end Duke!   Question .. I find I also like chord progressions like this more than lead lines at times.  Is that strange I think that maybe my true soloing...

Hey Corey .. great tune! I like how you broke this up.  I've tried to learn slide a couple times .. but never quite got it.  Looking forward to learning a whole song this time I'm...

Hi Bluesnut Later this month we're going to end the Beta and have our commercial release.  At that time we're going offer a couple different subscription plans 1. Monthly at...

Mike Some lessons save as Mp4's, thus allowing me to save them yo my Ipod Touch and practice on the road.  Many of the videos only save as a Webpage.  Is there a trick to getting...

Hey Tim - Glad to have you onboard here. I'm sure Mike can figure out a way for you to download what you want. Jerry 

Mike, sorry about that, I don't want confusion.  Chet was a trumpet player and singer that had a really pure tone in both mediums.  Your question hit close to home for me lately as...

Jerry, great lessons, but I can;t save them to my Ipod to practice on the road.  I've been waiting for along time for these. . .ever since seeing you with Muddy in 1979-80. Tim. 

What is full membership? Do you have access to more stuff? How could this site get better than it allready is?

Wow,  having Jerry on Sonic juntion is a real treat and a welcome suprise.   I went thought the master class cds when I was starting out. His cds propeled me forward. Harp playing...

@Roger .. Freddie King .. yes indeed.  Did you ever here Low Tide ... a years worth of guitar lessons in one song @slimm66 .. true it's the point .. but my tone never seems to be...

Hey Slim, I was just having fun talking about guitars, I didn't think you were dis-ing inexpensive ones. I was using a Bad Monkey pedal for distortion. They are great and only 40...

Duke      Just the Evans amp?  What were you using for "dirt"?  I've heard the Evans with Jazz and Pedal Steel players, and it seems like a pretty clean deal.  BTW-I don't mean to...

Thanks Duke!

Hi Slim, I was using the Evans amp only that night. I actually think many inexpensive guitars that are available today sound really great. Of course the prestige of playing a real...

I am very lucky that I usually can obtain the sound I hear in my head most of the time, which has taken years to refine. I have to say that most of it is in the fingers. Of course...

This footage of Billie is the absolute essence of the blues and jazz. It's always been one of my favorite clips in jazz along with "Jammin' the Blues." This is the most real blues...

Sounds good Mike, The melody and chords is basically a call and response type thing. That's the idea!

Hi Duke .. I'm really enjoying the 6th chord licks from this lesson.  I'll be using them for a long time!  I'm still working through bringing Cookin' together .. but have learned a...

Hi Tim, I will be definately doing lessons on the T-Bone style. I consider T-Bone the father of electric blues guitar and his influence has been one of the most important to me and...

Hi Mario, It's certainly hard to know for sure who had formal training and who didn't. Especially when you consider Wes Montgomery who couldn't read but had such an amazing musical...

Hi Duke, How much formal knowledge of music theory and the guitar had the classic players?  I remember reading about T-Bone in an old Guitar Player magazine that he knew how to...
