Hey Harp Players! For this week, we start working on more scoops and tongue articulations for this fifth chorus of “Keep The Change” The scoops on hole 3 draw in particular are...

Hi again Dennis, i'm noticing when I am trying to play first chorus at tempo, I alwasy seem to hit the bend on the  4 draw a little flat, any tips to fix this?

I, too, would love to hear more about your Collings.

Chris - Could you look at this sometime and tell me if this 1st break is close to resembling what you're playing. You didn't teach it and you play it so fast that even slowed down...

Hey Duke, me again. Here's my new version of this one. Hope you enjoy it! Glad to hear you've been recording, would love to hear some new stuff from you! This morning my wife and I...

Wow Duke, you have blown my mind with this lesson. You are doing exactly what you said, playing around inside the chord shape. At first it was like finding a constellation in the...

17:53 approximate ... Words to live by. What a relief.

Greetings Social Music Devotees! We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you a special lesson: Harmony Singing, part one. In this lesson my fiancé, Claudia...

Hey Chris, I tried to accompany your "Open up the Window, Noah" recording from Avalon (which is fantastic), and I can't get anywhere close to the strumming speed you guys are...

Thanks Duke Looking forward to getting into this lesson. I have been busy myself providing backing guitar in a harmonica blow off/competition. It is nice to know there are still...

Hello Friends, I hope you all are having fun with this tune. I always love playing it. This week we are learning the second chorus of solo. This time we employ a bit higher voiced...

In this last lesson we will discuss how to sing the tune in rhythm. I suggest that you sing along to the alternating bass until you get confortable. It can also be good to simply...

Hello! For you harp players out there, this week we dive into chorus 4 of “Keep The Change”. This chorus starts with some stops on the first four bars here, and includes a quick IV...

Sweet ... I figured I'd get the timing issue out of the way early on this time ... with the very 1st note to be precise. Just kidding.  I'm on a mission. Thank you!

Does anyone know what make/model Corey is using on his excellent rendition of "You've got to move"?    

Brian, thank you so much for the kind words! It's pretty amazing that a platform like sonic junction exists where we can connect and share all of this information from one...

Ha! Singing is good news for all of us! One issue here: the first note of the intro isn't being played on the downbeat. Rather than starting with strumming try counting 1, 2, 3, 4...

Hi Boyd -- thanks for letting us know.  It's now fixed.   Can you let me know how it works for you ?   Thanks.

Thanks guys, glad you like the song! If I can be crassly commercial for a sec I'll go ahead and let you know that Julian Lage and I recorded it on our album Avalon ;-)

Hi Chris - let me just say that not only do your lessons help but your relaxed stye helps things sink in better for me.  You are by far my favourite acoustic guitarist singer who...

what happened to the slow downer and no backimg track 

Hey Duke! Thanks for noticing that I was quoting the opening to the solo from the original. ;-) I love that phrase. I really fell in love with this tune when I heard Lambert...

While watching football I decided to record this ... probably not there yet but I'll keep working on it. If I can Iearn a break for this I might be tempted to sing it which is...

Thanks Duke - I'm a week behind on lessons. Got to say I've loved every lesson you've taught on SJ, but this one is something extra special! :)
