Myself, I get carried away with these hammer-ons. :-) I tend to play too many of them so when I try to follow the tune I'm completely off. lol

Thanks Mike.  The new search set-up and page layout are super!  

4:12, 4:18, 4:24 in this lesson. Again at 8:16, 8:25, 8:32.  Again at 8:45, 8:51, 8:57.  The last set is the most pronounced. I went back and listened to the performance and...

Hi Bill...can you give me a spot (in time with the minute/second mark) of where you are hearing this? Thanks! I think you may be referring to what I am playing in the break-down,...

It sounds like a number of ghost notes in there where you're balancing breath and/or keeping the rhythm.  After you run up the scale and return to the two-draw there's a little...

Hi Folks, This week we work on the lead lines around the vocal on Tore Down. The call and response between vocal and lead instrument is an really important part of the blues....

I tongue-block about 99.9% of what I play, including the first chorus...aside from the opening few notes of the opening riff/Head, which I articulate with my tongue (the first few...

Dennis, are you tongue-blocking or puckering the 1st verse?

Hey Andre - I think you're doing good! The only thing I noticed is on that last lick, you're climbing up from the 3 draw to the 5 blow. I skip over the 4th hole and go straight...

I really like the new look of the site.  It's very cool and much easier to navigate. Thanks for the update. I like it here and it just keeps getting better. Kip

Hi Kip --- I think your singing is great.  Nice tone and phrasing.  You really shape it which is cool.

Rainy and dreary day today so I figured I'd post a video of our last lesson with The Nashville Blues. The shocking reality of me singing LOL but hey we're all friends here right....

Hi Rick, I'm curious --- what Artists do you listenn to for ideas?   --- and how much of your listening is other harp players vs. horns / other instruments? Thanks.

Hi Chris, I was wondering if you could talk a bit about how you and Julian write / arrange music together --- and create a song / arrangement like this:   For instance 1. do...

Kip, this is great! It's very musical and it sounds like you, which, to me, is ultimately the point of all of this - self-expression while having fun.  Just one constructive...

Thanks, Mike!! That is *very* much appreciated, and I'm extremely grateful for Sonic Junction.

Great playing --- and absolutely love your singing !!

NAILED IT!!!!

Hi Jay --- if you go to Corey's Artist Hub page, you will see a list of all of Corey's lessons.   We will be breaking them out by tuning over the next couple days.

Thanks Bill! That is what you need to do...keep pushing yourself to get to those points, that is when it actually becomes LIVE music! Happening in the moment and it takes on a life...

Thanks for the insight.  I have moments when I'm playing with solid rhythm accompaniment when I seem to break free of the parts I've worked out and something almost magic happens...

Hi Raleigh --- yes, we will be releasing a backing track with the first chorus breakdown (next lesson coming out on Friday).

Is there a backing track available for this, or any, tune? If not, do you have any plans to produce one?

Thanks Bill - good question! For this song, yes, I just set up the groove and let these choruses rip. Literally! This one was a one-take deal. I had some ideas of some riffs I may...

Hi All --- we posted the wrong sheet music for this lesson on Friday.  The sheet music is now correct and up to date.   Please accept our apologies.

Hi Dennis, Could you say a little something about what you mean when you say that you improvised this piece?  Aside from the basic groove and the constraint you've imposed of...

Hey Duke! Having a LOT of fun working on this one. I did my best at copping the chorus fills. What do you think? Regards, Bruce
