I'm going to pick this tune. looks hard but fun. Have to give it a try. I can do it. if it was easy would not be fun.

Hi Marc - I’m just slapping my tongue on and off the harp and covering the bottom four holes. I can hear the 1 draw note in there, but the 2nd and 3rd holes sound a little more...

Hey Chris, I'm interested in your feedback on right-hand technique, -Mike

So this is a 2-3-4 chord in a triplet, right? I don't hear the 1 draw at all. But I could be wrong (and I usually am wrong).

Hi Mark -- thanks for letting us know.  It should now be fixed for you.

Everytime I look at this I just think wow.

cool

Here is my short version of Rygar (it's short because I can't do those awesome variations with bass). I hope to hear a comment from you on this one, it's a really a beautiful...

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

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...
