Love this tune!  It sounds on the "Guitar Groove-a-rama" record that while Duke solos there are two more guitar parts panned left and right, one chording kind of high up the neck and the other doing little chicken pickin' type filigree.  Am I hearing this correctly?  Thanks!

Hi, Paul and Duke, great lesson!  I notice that Paul calls the second chord in the bridge Gmi7b5 while the tab calls it Db6; is that because we're considering the bridge to be in the key of F minor all the way to the final Ab7 that returns us to the key of Db?

Thanks, Mike, I'm pretty sure it's the Bb triad at 8:55; I thought maybe Duke was fretting a bass note, too, but now I don't think so.

Hi Jeff --- yes, I agree that it sounds like a Bb triad at 8:55.  

Another thing I've noticed about Duke is that he will sometimes intuitively voice certain strings louder than others.  Meaning, he may play a three note chord --- but two of the notes will be more pronounced.  Duke's right hand technique and touch is really amazing and in my opinion an important part of his playing --- i.e. it's not just the chord, but how that chord is played.  I see similar things in Corey's playing as well.

Duke--In the turnaround for the 4-4 rhythm style progression, there's a beat of something right after the Eb mi chord and before the F#7-F7 move, and it sounds like maybe the F and Bb notes from the Bb triad at the 3rd fret, but I'm not sure--can you clarify?  Is there a bass note, too?

Hi Jeff --- I can help too (I help with the tab / chords for Duke's lessons).  

To make sure we give you the right answer --- can you let me know the video timecode?  --- thanks.
