Hello Friends, This week we finish up "Three Hours Past Midnight" with some additional solo ideas to add to your arsenal. Then I teach a cool riff double stop chorus that can be used like a horn part behind the last vocal verse. It's a cool riff that can be used in a lot of different applications. Then we learn the end riff and chords with an extra little embellishment to end the song. Have fun with this one, it's a lot of fun! Duke

Hi Scott, without seeing you play it's hard to say. But a lighter touch seems like that may help the issue. Duke
Duke. Do you have any suggestions for playing the three string slides with one finger? My fingers must be damp because they stick on the strings. You think as I practice this I might get calluses that will make that smoother? Maybe a lighter touch?
