Thanks very much, that's really encouraging, especially in regards to my singing. I understand exactly what you mean about slowing it down; I often have to remind myself that I...

Hi Corey. I was taping this and suddenly the lyrics of a different song jumped into my head, so I went with it. ;-) It's a song called "Dr. Brown", done in the Elmore James style...

Your playing is nice and relaxed here. It seems like you have a good handle on the beginning of three melody line but you sound unsure as to how to resolve it at the end.  Go back...

Hello Corey. The guitar is a 1942 Epiphone Century. Thank you for your advice and good wishes! 

Haven't been around for a while Corey but thought I'd work on his tune last week and here is where I'm at so far. A few missing bass notes and things - would welcome your...

I've looked at this 100's of times. Studied it and learned most of it (I think) except the majority of what I assume is Chris improvising which is fun to try and play also. Fun for...
