BLUES RHUMBA

Hi Duke,

How about a look at the blues rhumba a la 'Crosscut Saw' or 'All Your Love' ???? It's such a great feel.

Thanks for all of it,

Vinnie

Hi Everyone, I just took notes on all the suggestions that I feel are appropriate plus I have quite a few new ideas of my own. So there is a LOT more cool stuff coming here on Sonic Junction!

Hi Jolister, just because would be a fun tune to learn and a little different slant on chord progressions we have done. So yes, good suggestion! Duke

Hi Duke. Here's a Pee Wee Crayton song that I think is just great from start to finish, his song "Do Unto Others" written and apparently produced by Dave Bartholomew. If I had to guess, I'd say that a copy of this 78 made it over to Liverpool in the 1950s because that guitar break sure sounds familiar!

This would be a good old one to learn the guitar parts to

Hound Dog Taylor - Freddie's Blues

Hey Duke! I'd love it if you'd teach "Ukulele Swing" off your fabulous new CD! It'd give me the excuse I've been looking for to get a uke! It's a terrific song. The whole CD is great and is recorded very well. Sunny's voice sounds amazing on Evangeline! My favorite vocal of yours is Big Bill Blues.

Hi Bruce, Thanks I'm glad you like ukulele swing. I wrote it years ago. I don't really consider myself a uke player. I learn a tune when i need one for a recording, so I don't really feel qualified to teach uke. I'll consider it though..... Thanks, Duke

Hi Duke! I was listening to some other Bill Jennings stuff and I am absolutey knocked out by his version Sweet & Lovely. I've been working on it, but it'd be a blast to see how you interpretet it. It's such a cool song! Hope all is well with you. Regards, Bruce

Yes that's a good one Bruce. Never tried to learn that one. It was a very popular tune in the 40s. I agree Bill's take on it is very cool!   Duke

Hey Duke - how about some of your soloing on Scratch My Back when you were with The Fabulous Thunderbirds - then we could really cut it up with Jerry's harp lesson?

Hi Duke

I have been trying my hand at Bill Jennings Big Boy. It would make a great lesson.

Hi Duke,

I've been spinning your new disk "Blues Full Circle" non stop since I got it. I'm sure you've got a lesson list a mile long but maybe at some point you would consider doing a lesson on Worth Waitin' On? 

Great disk. Thanks!

Marty

Thanks Marty, I will consider doing "Worth Waitin On" its a good example of gospel influence in blues. Duke

Hi Duke,

I am from Brazil and I live in Iowa City, Iowa. You are a huge influence on me and I love all your albums as well. I've learned a lot of your songs from your albums but some of them I can't play exactly how do you play. Could you do a lesson with these 2 tunes below that I love? I am also a huge T-Bone fan.

1- Glamour Girl (Stretchin' out - Live)

2- Love is Gamble (Blue Mood)

Love you man!

Hey Duke!  Just heard a tune of yours that I hadn't heard for a while and thought it might make a good lesson for somewhere down the road--Red Dog.  And I don't mean Elvin Bishop's guitar!
