Hi Folks, This weeks we are learning to solo on Mood Indigo. I have put together a solo for you to learn note for note. It's generally simple but does have a bit of double timing...

Now we will deal with how to begin singing this tune. I encourage you to sing the melody slowly at first, and then at tempo. You can also isolate only the bass and sing along with...

Hi Bill - You've lost me. I'm just a blues player. I'm really not even sure what the official "blues scale" is. I suppose it must contain the flat VII, flat third, the V, the I and...

Much better.......Dennis's lesson D/L at a reasonable speed.......

17 Mbps is good.  That should be enough if it's consistent. How are things working for you today?  

I scored "17" is that good bad?...........What ya think Mike?  

Thanks again.  As a friend of mine use to say, constraints are good.  It's good to know what to focus on.

Wow! that was a fast response......each and every video downloads extremely slow and stalls out and stops half way thu.....My system/ browser has not been updated lately...also any...

Hi Robert -- thanks for letting us know.  You're the first one to mention this issue.  Can you tell me a specific lesson and we'll take a look. We serve the videos out of the...

Hi..for some reason lessons will not completely download and stop half way thu.....seems like on all the lessons list this occurs. Never had this problem before.

 Thanks again Bill!  If you're a blues player, the best focus is on the blues scale and the many ways you can use it. Playing blues is not truly major, and not truly minor....

Thanks for your reply.  The way you can use bent notes in a given position is something I hadn't thought of but which is obviously really important to how it all sounds.  It seems...

Hi Bill - You bring up some great questions and ideas. Each position sounds distinctly different just because of the tuning of the instrument and how the different parts of the...

Hi Dennis, I'm really glad you're doing this third position tune.  I'm in the category of someone who has noodled around with it some but really hasn't gotten tight with it, and I...

Hi Rick, So I'm taking you up on your invitation to make suggestions.  Guitar players do this thing where they play in the minor pentatonic blues scale, which corresponds to...

Hey Duke! Here's a first stab at this one. I'm really enjoying playing it! Would love to hear what you think of it. Thanks for the great lesson. Best regards, Bruce

Thanks! Hope you have fun with this one!

A nice lesson

Hi Corey  just uploaded a video below. A couple of lapses in concentration towards the end but hope it gives you enough to see where I am at to see where I can improve. Thanks,...

Nice !! Really like how this and the first half go together . Thanks Duke.

Hi Folks, This week we are learning the second melody section which is single string melody after the chord melody section. This part was originally Harry Carney's clarinet part...
