that's cause he WAS drunk when he played. Which is also why he died so young unortunately.

@ Mike...thanks for the comment.  Just concentrate on the groove first, don't even think about the other licks until much later. Pay attention to tempo and rhythm first When you...

@bruno...Thanks for your comment.  Would it help if I were to slow it down?  You are right to focus on getting the groove.  When I learn a song, I spend a lot of time (several days...

Indeed... gives it that slippery, almost drunk feel at times. Love it!

The Joe Pass, with a 16 inch lower bout, is a bit smaller than the other recent, affordable Epiphone jazz boxes, like the Emperor Regent and the Broadway. It also has a slightly...

Mike, mine is surprisingly good, but honestly not good enough to replace a good acoustic or to do acoustic gigs with. Otherwise it meets all my needs for electric jazz and blues.

Mike, thanks for posting this. I remember when this GP issue come out. I played it over and over. Great tune !

Nice lick! I was able to get the lick pretty quickly, but tying it to the turnaround and getting the timing right was tricky for me. I found it helped to focus on getting the...

@Roger & @Bruce .. I'm going to have to check out a Joe Pass guitar.  I've always wanted a larger hollow body guitar.  How's the acoustic tone @Corey .. Yeah, that parlor guitar...

My favorite new piece of gear is my new Evans RE200 amplifier. It's small, light and has 200 watts of power. It's solid state but has unusual extra tone controls that give you tube...

Sure cookin is a good one!

Hey Duke! I love a tune from one of your earlier albums called Cookin'. Great song. If you get around to it, how about a lesson on Cookin'?  Thanks

I am in love with my Epiphone Joe Pass. It's only about a year old. I followed Duke's advice and found one that just felt the best  to me and had it professionally set up. I...

Lately my favorit piece of gear is my gernandt parlor guitar that you all have seen me playing in the lessons.  I really dig it.  It is made by Bob Gernandt of Bryson City, NC.  He...

That is a hard question to answer. I have several guitars, and for very different reasons I like them all a lot. Just about the same is true for amplifiers, though I don't have...

My favorite is the Roland Street Cube.  I like the fact that you can get a lot of good tones at room volume .. and switch so easy between them.  The sounds isn't as good as good...
