Around 15:30?

Hey Dennis, Around 15:30, you're demonstrating the last four bars of the chorus and you say, "let me get the timing right" and do it again.  On the first "mistaken" time, you're...

Ok - I nixed the question - after having watched the lesson a thousand times - I finally "listened" to what you were "saying" after the final note of the triple threat triplet...

Haha - it's no bother! That's what I'm here for. An online teacher can be of GREAT help, just depends on the teacher. Keep working on it and narrowing down the questions and...

Dennis, Your answers to both Bill's and my questions are very helpful to me.  You've inspired me to finally work seriously on that rhythm problem I'd been trying to ignore until...

You got it! The articulation is so important whether for chords (in this rhythmic context) or for single note articulation while TB'ing. Basic technique, but super important and...

Dennis, Thanks for the clarification on both the rhythmic chords and the question about swinging.  Spot on!

If you have a specific note at a specific time in the song you are trying to figure this out for - let me know and I will help. The upbeat and downbeat are very different and...

Hi Bill, I just can't play a TB bend right after having my tongue on the roof of my mouth.  It's hard enough to get them TB'd at all.  So I thought, who's to know....  Oh,...
2040 thumb Dennis gruenling left a comment on: Buffle Off to Shuffalo First Chorus Breakdown
there are many ways to swing ahead or behind the beat, and in every context they differ, but the approach is the same...causing rhythmic tension by playing before or after the...
2040 thumb Dennis gruenling liked a comment:
Terry, I've been playing with both approaches you describe with the same thoughts about the ease of having to switch from puckered to TB.  Maybe we're being too picky but aside...
2040 thumb Dennis gruenling left a comment on: Buffle Off to Shuffalo First Chorus Breakdown
Good question - but it is of the UTMOST importance that you articulate the "t" sound for this type of rhythmic playing. If you don't, then you simply won't get that special sound...

I have the same problem (though probably much worse) than Bill Blatner -- about timing , ahead of the beat, behind the beat, etc. and am hoping that this series will help.  Love...

I got the notes down. It's going to take a lot of practice to learn it.Great tune
2040 thumb Dennis gruenling left a comment on: Buffle Off to Shuffalo First Chorus Breakdown
Yes, your tongue is OFF the harp to do the rhythmic chording, and I am playing holes 1-2 mainly, sometimes 1-2-3. But it is not "Tut-ti" it is "Tut-tut" that clipping comes from...
2040 thumb Dennis gruenling liked a comment:
I have lots of questions but I'll try to keep it tight.  On the basic, 1-chord rhythm where you do the Tut-ti-Tut-ti articulation, are you drawing on 1 and 2 with your tongue off...
