Hi Perry, I will ask Mike about doing that. Thanks, Duke
Thank you Duke.

Hi Duke,
Thank you for putting together this exciting lesson for us — love the song!
Would it be possible to have the guitar response line of the chorus posted as tab in addition to the chords and boogie line already posted? That would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Perry
Hi Perry --- sorry for the delay. We've updated the tab to show the vocal fills. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Hey Duke,
Is the "Omm Ba Omm Ba Omm Ba" piano shuffle similiar to the "flat tire" shuffle groove? That's what they call it in the blues circles down here in Texas. The sound of a tire that's gone flat and all the rubber is on one side. Boom flap boom flap boom flap etc...
Thanks,
Steve
Hi Steve, Yes I guess you call that the guitar equivelent to the flat tire groove. Duke
Thanks Duke. I'm just double checking since sometimes its a struggle getting on the same page as the drummer. Bass players are easier... :)
Duke,
Thanks for a great lesson. Yet another great tune that I've been playing ever so slightly wrong for the last 20 years! I can't even begin to tell you how much a weekly leeson from the great Duke Robillard means to me.
Thank you !
Roger, Thank you very much, I really appreciate that! Duke
