If you are playing strick 4/4 rhythm, it's best to stick close to the straight 4 beats per measure but you can do some 4/4 and imply passing chords and accents in between the beats...

Also Mike, Everyone has slightly different way of playing these tunes. It sounds like Spoons pianist is doing a slightly different turn around. This kind of thing is good ear...

Good start Mike! Actually Spoon (as he was called) sings further behind the beat than anyone and at extremely slow tempos so you have taken on quite a challenge! Ray Charles is the...

Thank you Bruce, The 3 and 4 note chords are best in this context leaving plenty of room for the bass. The less added on notes from the 7th chords when playing a swing tune the...

I check out Lester Leaps in a couple of weeks ago, but then realized it was part of the swinging the blues series, so I headed for Lesson 1. The 3 and 4 note chords shown here make...

@MikeCaren: It sounds to me like you got it.  I would only suggest picking out the triad (1-2-3, 1-2-3), each string.  You could resolve on the 5 and it would make a good intro for...

Great Mike, Learning 8/16/32 bar blues is a great introduction to the swing era/tin pan alley songs which lead to a good understanding of the structure of the great American...

Thanks for the comments.  As for getting the timing right, try listening to as much country blues as you can stand.  For me, it was real hard to get the feel of a particular song...

Great lesson Duke! I agree with Jason, I'd like to see the chord changes above the tab, it really does help in understanding the phrasing and also applying them to different keys.

Thanks Mike, I love that early electric guitar style!

Hi Duke .. I'm really enjoying this lesson.  Thank you.  The lead lines are beautiful.  I especially like the last couple riffs where you play a lead and then hit the chord.  Ahh...
