@ Alex...your version of candy man is very nice.  It is also a little different from other versions and that is refreshing.  Thanks.

@Vinny...I really like the the last video a lot...it has a nice blend of blues and spanish sounding chords.  Thanks for posting.

@John Bunyan...your guitar tone is real nice here and you got the main riff down good.  Keep working at it sounds good.

Hi Mike,

Yes, that is the right one.  I have it on a different album, but it is the same version.  However, I've figured it out since I asked.  It's not that difficult but requires good bending control.  I just love the way Butterfield does this song and "Walkin' Blues," and "Born In Chicago."  I make sure to play at least a portion of each song every day. Also, I play "Juke," on Sonny Boy I song and one Paul deLay song each day.  Only takes fifteen or so minutes but doing this has made a world of difference for me.

Thanks for asking.

Hi Rich ... thanks for the post.  I think it would help Jerry if we could post the tune for him.  Is this the one?

Thanks Mike

Hi Doug,

Good question.  We currently don't support recording videos on the iPad.  We have it on our list for a future release (this coming winter).  Until that time, you can record videos on your iPad and then upload it via you MacBook / PC.  

Hi Duke!

Big Fan here, I started 2 years ago trying to play real blues

and not with a whole lotta distortion.

I like players like you, jimmie vaughan, Zach Zunis, Kid Ramos, well to many to mention :)

How do I setup my amps for those T-Birds early strat tones

Jimmie Vaughan, You and Kid Bangham had? 

This is drivin me crazy, the tone always sound clean but dirty and I just can't to seem to dial in 

that tone. the song cookin you recorded together is a good stamp on what I am talking about.. :)

I only play strats so thats a good start :)  and my amps are a Fender Blues Junior III

and I also have a Tweed Vibrolux Replica 1x10 with bigger Iron in it for cleaner breakup

I have had Tweed Bassman/Bandmaster and Super Reverbs but to me they always was to loud

for the venues I play.. 15-20w seems more appropriate to get the amp to work harder at a decent level

I am tired of this quest but I do like the tone so much I want to be able to get it :)

I really enjoy your lessons, great stuff, I will try to upload a video of me playin soon

Best Regards 

Pierre Sjöholm

Hi Rich thank you for your comment and feedback on my playing....I'm glad you liked the videos.... I'm happy to be apart of this forum the people here are really nice and also encouraging...

Duke thank you so much for your feedback you encourage me to keep learning and trying to improve my playing....

Mike,

sent a message off earlier today then discovered this forum. trying to record from my ipad, doesn't seem to be doing anything. any suggestions?

Thanks

Doug

@Tom yes it's sad hope your situation get's better ! It's not a long time i could afford good guitar i' played cheap guitar for a long time, now it's going better for me since 2years... Hope the wheels turn for you too :) !

@Alex your last song are beautiful too what a tragedy what hapenned ! But in French media we don't talk a lot about it :( By the way i'm singing POlice Dog Better cause it's in my confort zone, singing Kind Hearted is really Higher. At that time it's still a sportive challenge for me ;)

@Duke and Corey, hope you could see and comment all the video, i'm waiting for your comment like a kid ;) 

Thanks for all

JD

Hi Alex, Thank you! It's really fun an interesting to see everyone's interpretation of the blues.And it's also very rewarding to see the progression of everyones playing. Duke 

Thank you Corey and Duke for takin time to watch all the videos and give feedback!!!

Hi Tom, Yes I really did enjoy you and Matt together. Keep up the good work! Duke 

Hey Preston, You're a natural, that's obvious. You sound to me like you've been playing a long time. Duke

Thanx...! Mr. Duke...!!!

Your comments have me and my blues buddie, Matt "Over The Moon"...! I told Matt to just perform his songs in his own way and not follow me. I wanted him in the "driver's seat", because as I told him, a blues guitarist's role is to "respond", not to lead and he understood me. I think that's why the videos came out well.

I have another good friend who played harp with SRV long before John Hammond's influance.

Hello Duke... Thank you Sir for your comment .... I value your comments very highly and it makes me happy to know that you liked the video to me it means that i'm slowly getting somewhere with the harp!!

@ Vinny you have a nice easy touch on the song and your singing is real mellow.  Thanks for posting!

@Alex...nice version of candy man...singing sounds nice and easy.

Hey Guy P, Enjoyed your video. nice ideas and good use of space. Duke

Hey Preston, Great job on Give Me One Reason. You sound so natural it sounds like you're on the record!Really nice tone and phrasing, Duke  

Hi Peter, Sounds great, nice job on those hamer on trills and the slide is cool too! good job and ideas, duke

Hey Tom, another good one. i really like the sound you two have together. Did you know i recorded Texas Flood on the first Roomful of blues album 5 years before Stevie did it? keep up the good worK. Duke 

Hey Tom, Sounds great. Who's your singer / rhythm guitarist? he's got a good voice. I i like your sound together. very Excello Louisiana sounding. Nice and lowdown! Duke
