As usual i take to post to speak after my video... This is a short version of Can't Be satisfied. I would have had more time to work on it but i go tomorrow on vacation and came back after the end of the open mic... My voice wasn't strong too because i had a flu and i still was a little sick. But that the game :) hope you'l enjoy !

Peter when you write...."Blues is truely of the World"...you can't even imagine how much I agree you..I could even fight for this concept! :DDD

@Alex you're right i lost weight and start sport again, i'll wait to be in Italia for the pasta ;) Thanks for the singin :) i'm not really happy because i can nose my nose closed by the cold.

@Peter Thanks for the compliment  :)my reso is a Gretsch Honey Dipper a really good and cheap one ! The Cone is handmade. I love the Gretsch collection, i've tried other models and i may buy a spider one (mine is a biscuit). The only problem it's the size (16inch) and only 12frets : some says it's better for the sound but less confortable to play.

My strings are Martin Bronze (really rush sound) and my Slide is handmade by Willie's slide (slide4659 on ebay). It's in Cobalt and i love the glass sound it's the best for me but it's quite heavy. Willie makes cheap slide and you can say the size and you have a mojo bag too. They're also baptize in a lake by a reverend friend of him ;)

Thanks for the accent compliment it's funny :p

Beautiful tone and light touch!!  Ahh --- I'm jealous.  I really like how you are enjoying playing and singing the tune.  Phrasing is real nice too.  Nice rake at 2:15.  The way you mix up the timing of the lines really makes it "alive" for me.

Awesome Alex!!  Guitar playing is great and I like how your vocals are getting deeper --- both in tone and feel.  I also like how your working the call and response between your singing and the guitar --- i.e. the song is moving & churning.

Mr. Harris--Although I am rythymically challenged, I can manage the technical aspects of the music.  I would like the chance to really butcher " If You Leave Me Now".  Hopefully you will take the time to challenge all of us with this fun and interesting song of yours.

Thank you,

Steve

Hi Eddie --- thanks for being a part of Sonic Junction and sorry for the issue.

I'm having a problem with this site and a few others where I can't few the video.  I can hear it, but i can't see it.  I'm pretty sure the problem is on my side of things.  I've tried different servers, and still no picture.  Can anybody help me?

Hi Corey , hope this finds you well

Just been listening to your album Between midnight and day and love the slide version of it hurts me too.

wondering if you would have time to teach us that song some time in the future .

Thank you for all previous lessons as well, you have really open up the guitar for me and given me a so much joy though playing .

Cheers again David

Mr. Robillard, please consider showing, When your Lover has Gone. It's my personal favorite of yours (Especialy love your vocals), besides being an amazing standart. I think somehow I feel I have to get you to agree.

Corey--love these lesson and i'm so glad my son found this site for me. I could not find tabs for your songs anywhere. I did buy your DVD lesson but this is much cleaner and more instructive.  I am struggling with rythym on many of the songs but that is my main limitation.  Anyway, have you ever given a listen to Ry Cooder's song "13 Question Method"?   I would love to know the tuning for that song along with the tabs. But for right now the tuning would give me a good start.  Check that song out and let me know what you think. I hope this site is working out for you and that you decide to continue gracing us with your time and patience.

Well, this last one from Duke did it - I'm in. To get this stuff from a master who clearly loves to teach and pass on a lotta scratch is just gold. The best I have seen and as close to sittin down on the front porch as it gets, yeah? Many thanks for the great work you are doing with this site.

Corey:  am looking for your impressions on geographic areas where there is a good local audience for traditional blues and also some regaional playing opportunities.  I am in a transition and want to relocate but not sure where.  I would like to avoid a really big metropolitan area.  I suspect the Southeast - N. Carolina region is somewhat in that target.  I know there are a lot of festivals, etc. both blues and traditional music.  I am in the Austin area now and it's a great music town but sort of commercialized, and I am burned out on freeways.

Also have thought about New Orleans, Memphis.  However I have heard very good things about a small city called Ashville, N.C. -- Anyway, any wisdom you have in this regard would be appreciated.  You are well travelled in these areas and while I have loved living in California it is not very exciting in terms of audiences for traditional blues.

Hi Robert --- you're right!  Great catch.  

You will now see it on Duke's Artist Hub page as the current lesson.

Thanks for bringing the issue to our attention.
