Hi Folks, This week we start on T-Bone Walker style slow blues. On our first lesson I discuss and demonstrate the elements that make up T-Bones style like, the chords he plays, his picking technique, phrasing and double timing etc. I teach the chord forms he uses some signature chords and licks and more. Some Stormy Monday licks and the introduction to his original version also.
Enjoy, Duke

Maybe I'm being a little dense here, but is the Eb9 fingering the same as the C9 fingering or the G9 fingering?
Thanks Chris, I'm happy you are enjoying my lessons. Duke
awesome,, thanks Duke.
I have a version of Stormy Monday I recorded with Romful of Blues in the 70s if that will help? Duke
Hi Duke, just wanted to point out a typo. The fingering on the D13 chord has the first finger being used on the 7th fret. I believe it should be the 4th.
Hi Richard --- great catch! You're absolutely right. I've updated the fingering. Thanks for letting us know.
Hi Duke, i am stiil not shure where to start with this whole way of learning iam excited though thanks Chris.
Hi Peter, Yes, you have the turn around and the 5 change correct. enjoy! Duke
daddyray, yes I did throw in a Blues after hours lick mistakenly. BUSTED! Pee wee Crayton was such a disciple of T-Bone that I sometimes mix their licks up. Shame on me! Duke
Hey Mike glad you are digging it! Duke
Hi Duke .. love the lesson! I've always messed around with this song, but never got it. Now I do!
@Daddyray .. funny, I heard some of those Blues After Hours licks too. I felt like this week was a big one for me as I'm starting to really hear Duke's playing at a deeper level ... and it's becoming more familiar to me. It's cool !!
daddyray, Thank you, That stretch on the 13th chord can be a bit tough on a long scale guitar that's for sure. Duke
Thanks Rick, T-Bone is my man. Enjoy the lessons
cool..thanks Duke, I can grab me some licks offa this one. I caught the licks outta Blues After Hours in there. I want to get my time right for the pinkie lick (6:56)..I can sort of squish that and I want it in hand and carefree... Imperial records!!
