Thanks for another wonderful series of lessons! Here's my cut. Comes with some tiny embelishments and a few mistakes (but I know what they are and am working on them - if I waited for perfection before I posted then I'd never post! ; )

 

PS forgive the distorted tone - just my 175 thru a little Fender Champion 600, but right next to the mic when I cut this

Thanks for the tip, I'm getting that album right now! The Dinah album is 'Back to the Blues' (I bet you have it somehwere - if not you're gonna love it : ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_to_the_Blues_(Dinah_Washington_album)

I totally trust your taste Duke (you haven't let us down so far!) But, as you're asking, I'm especially in love with the Billy Butler, Bill Jennings school. And, similar but a little earlier, anything from Johnny Moore.

I'd also love to get deeper into Les Paul's style - anything from your 'Tales from the Tikki Lounge' would be awesome. And I'd love to explore the way Robert Lockwood played on those Little Walter records.

Also, some of the great jazz blues players, especially Kenny Burrell and Grant Green would be cool. And, if you want to go right back, then anything on Eddie Lang would be great.

But, again, totally trust your taste. You're a great teacher and I'm getting loads from you and SJ. Yesterday I got together with a Hammond player and drummer - we worked on 'Glide On' and the drummer played your version as reference. I was SO proud to say you were my teacher : )

Thanks Duke. Great lesson! Love that Strat, great tone! Do you know what guitar Billy Butler was playing in the days he made this recording?

PS can you turn me on to some other albums with Billy Butler. I have a lot of his work with Bill Doggett and the great album he made with Dinah Washington. Anything else you could recommend?

Charlie, I'm not aware of that album Billy Butler did with Dinah. What is it called? Billy has a few solo albums on Prestige also. Some of my favorite Billy Butler is on an album called Goodness by Houston Person. It's some of his best playing! Duke

What a great series of lessons! Did this when it first came out on SJ, now I'm doing my homework and picking up loads that I missed!

Thanks Duke! I'm going over some past lessons that I missed first time round. If I haven't already said it i really hope you know what a great thing you're doing here! Can't tell you what SJ, and your teaching, means to me. You're helping me to be the player i want to be : )

Thanks so much Duke! Here's my attempt - forgive the obvious mistakes, I gave you the first cut as otherwise I'd spend all day trying to get perfect (and never get there : )

Thanks for challenging and enabling me to step outside my comfort zone (aka the petatonic scale ; )

Just going back through the treasure trove of lessons. This one is especially great. Can't get enough of Bill Jennings (or Billy Butler) so can't thank you enough for opening the door of playing their way!
