Can you make a backing track

Wow! What a great tune! Rick you are my new King of Cool. Will you be talking at all about your amp, mic, and settings? Daniel James

 hey Duke! Just going back over this old favorite and wondering if you can call out the G chord voicing that you used in the tag at the very end…Sounds to me like a first position...

Very nice !!  Great song to play .

Absolutely - The details are the things that make one sound “official“ ;-)

It’s just an intro. It could be coming from the V or not. If there was accompaniment on the intro, there’s a chance I might have picked another note, but I was just thinking of it...

Hey Rick-I'm pretty new to sonic junction and I'm really getting alot out of your lessons. I've seen you play a few times and have much respect. I bought your DVD and its had a big...

For kind of a fresh take on this tune, this is Jake Workman, Ricky Skagg's current lead player. Pretty sure this is Red Haired Boy, he's kinda Django-ing it in that he's basically...

Hey Chris - Thanks for the feedback, and I know exactly what you mean. I’ve been struggling with the overemphasized down strokes for a while now. I experimented a bunch over the...

If I'm hearing and counting correctly, you're coming in from the V, right? It's confusing because 6 blow is a strange note for the V. Do you tell the band to come in from the V?

Great song! This one will really be fun. It reminded me of "Guitar Shuffle" by Lowel Fulson, which I love, so now I'm working on both of them. I have a 78 of Guitar Shuffle. ;-)...

Thanks Duke! Absolutley love Pee Wee Crayton. Please could you share any tips on how you're setting tone on your Strat, and amp, to get Pee Wee's sound? Cheers

Hi Duke, you mentioned that you suffer from arthritis. I have the same problem in my left forefinger and it is very frustrating. Is there anything you can recommend to reduce the...

Hi Folks, This week we start on Pee Wee Crayton's Texas Hop. The quintessential instrumental guitar jump blues. This week we learn the intro, the rhythm during sax solo and first...

Hey There Sonic Harpers! Welcome back to my chromatic harmonica piece “Moan-A-Chrome” and this time we tackle Chorus 5. There are a few riffs we use here that I repeat and turn...

Now we are ready to talk about the bass and how to pick the strings so that you are getting the most of them. This song combines brushing with a simple alternating bass. Once you...

Hello Everyone! We’re starting in on a new song this week - John Hartford’s unreasonably happy “Living In The Mississippi Valley.” To me this is a delightful piece of music from...

Hi Greg, nice work with this tune! You’ve got all of the melodic contours and subtle variations down really nicely. The thing that most jumps out to me is that the feel is a little...

Ha, thanks Darren! I was hanging on for dear life!

that lick you start at 2:47 is so greasy I love it!

Here's a second attempt (without a toddler on my lap!) Did it straight off the cuff. Felt great to play with you Duke, you're the Man! : )

Hi Chris - I should be cutting the grass but here I am picking on Billy in the Lowground. Always a work in progress. Kip  

Yes, cupping is a separate talent, but you're getting there! Lots of practrice!

Thank you so much Dennis! I still have some problems in making a good cup with my hands but I guess it's just a matter of confidence and a lot of practice! It was a real pleasure...
