 Hi Corey, please listen my record and tell me what it's wrong and how can I go on the right way. Also, I have tried to do the vocals (sorry about this ;) ), but I can´t feel...

That's the only moderately tricky part in the song. But as you're recognizing, learning to negotiate that transition is going to open up a whole bunch of cool new options for you -...

This has come up for me before when I was working out something from a record and I think I kind of worked around it because at the time I just couldn't manage it.  I've notice...

Hi Bill - I'm tongue blocking it, but if you're more comfortable lipping it, that's ok too. Going from the half step bend on the 2nd hole to the full bend on the 3rd hole takes...

Hey Rick, The 5-chord part is definitely the trickiest for me.  I know I've asked this before but just to check - are you playing all those 2 and 3 hole bends tongue-blocked?  I...

Duke Mike left a comment on: The Song Is Ended B Section & Last A Section Chords
To all the guitar players out there,   This technique is the opposite of the strumming style 99% of us began with. It is not easy to break the strum pattersn we all learned with....

Hi Boyd - Like a lot of blues-type musicians, I play strictly by ear, so I'm often just playing whatever I'm feeling at the time. When I come up with something I need to remember...

Hey John, Cool solo, huh? Thank you Norman! You've got 98% of the notes. It gets a little off around 00:22 where you added an extra beat. Also there's a few extra notes at 00:33....

Hi Luca! Nicely done. A few points: I really appreciate how calm and relaxed your face and hands are. That's good. One thing that strikes me however is that your shoulders and...

Chris - staying loose/exaggerated in the long run may (will I suppose) pay dividends but in the short term it's making the going mighty slow and frustrating. My crosspicking isn't...
