Hello Folks,
We've come to the final lesson for Texas Hop and I sincerely hope you all are having fun with it. This we are learning the final shout chorus into the rhythm for the last verse and ending. I really want you all to post a video or audio playing along with Brad and I. You can improvise or play the tune as it was recorded. I just want to hear you play it so come on everybody, let's jump the blues!
Enjoy,
Duke

Hey Duke! I've had a lot of fun and learned a lot working on this one. I worked on your parts and then went back and did my best to play my version/interpretation of Pee Wee's licks in an effort to sound like Bruce Dumes playing Pee Wee and not Bruce Dumes playing Duke playing Pee Wee! So I'm playing it in Bb along with Pee Wee. If only Pee Wee had given me a count off, I could have started it with him! ;-) Hope you like it! Bruce
Great job Bruce! Really with it all the way. When the chord riffing comes in and you play the 6th chord instead of the BB triad it sounds good along with the record. Almost western swing. Excellent version!
Thanks very much, Duke! That is extremely gratifying to hear. I really appreciate the observations. Thanks for the great lesson! I sure learned a lot! This is a tune that will be an "every day player" for me for a long time to come. I really get a kick out of playing it.
