Hey, Rick Estrin, back here at Sonic Junction with the first lesson of this Crawlin' Kingsnake. This week I'm gonna help get you prepared for the meat of the song by showing you a...

In Progress:

Thanks Charlie, I apologize because stuff that just used to pour out of me now is hard for me to play. Damn! 

Good job copping Buddy's licks! Now lets see you post to my track playing your own lick in Buddy's style! 

Yeah Bruce, He may be an alien who landed in  Louisiana! 

Thanks for listening! I set the metronome at about 150. This song is fast! By using the metronome, I was forced to actually count how long each note was, instead of just feeling...

Nice work! sounds good... Yes, that's a great thing! And the tempo is fast, but the licks are not necessarily fast. Good job!

Chris, I'm curious how you set up your guitars, particularly regard to action height at the 12th fret? Does this generally differ on your 000 vs your dreads? If you removed...

Marc - Also spend time just practicing rhythm. Playing a shuffle rhythm to a jam track. Over and over and over....to different tempo jam tracks. It's a GREAT way to get better not...

This is just like playing guitar, keep practicing till you get it right lol. Did this work?  Once again just trying to get the song down, not going for thr TR picking. Any tips?...

Thanks, Dennis. You make some good points. Clearly, I have a lot to learn from you. There's a portion of my practice time that I set aside for improvising & applying the concepts I...

Nice job on the notes & licks...see more detail below...and thanks!!!! As far as your 2 Questions: 1) If you sometimes have trouble feeling the beat (or rather "keeping the...

My two questions: 1) I sometimes have trouble feeling the beat when playing with just a guitar player. That's why I used a different jam track (in A). How can I develop the...

Thanks!! Making this kind of music should be like having a conversation and dancing at the same time!

I love the way that you two guys are playing off of each other, so light hearted and fun. I'll be bouncing for the rest of my day....                                               ...

Happy Birthday, Buddy Guy!!

Hey Duke! Wow, trying to play like Buddy is like learning to speak Martian! He builds his own universe there for a few seconds, then *bang!* and you're back in Chicago. "In the...

Hi, Davell: When you move from the I chord to the IV chord, does it matter which direction you move? It seems that when you played the song, you moved your left hand down for the...

Hello Friends, This week we are working on the final lesson for Early in the Morning. I continue this week with more ideas and demonstrations for lines in the Buddy Guy style....

There you go!

Thanks Chris, That's actually exactly what Tony Rice said one time at a festival - someone asked him how to work up to those insane speeds he sometimes plays at... His response...

As far as getting it up to speed, I don’t think there’s any substitute for putting in the hours. It can be good to play beyond the speed at which you can do it cleanly with a focus...

Thanks Chris! Yes, it is MOST highly unusual!  Very cool way to pick though - I'll definately inject a little of this into other tunes! And you're right about the timbre/texture...

We're re-issuing one of Corey's most popular lessons with re-mastered video and updated sheet music.  From Corey: In this lesson I will teach you one of my original songs, High...
