top stuff Corey !!!!!

Hi there Sonicites!!! This lesson features the Irma Thomas song, "It's Raining", written by Allen Toussaint in 1962. Today we are playing it in the key of F Maj. It's a New...

In this first lesson we will learn the introduction to this classic Robert Johnson tune which set it up so nicely. Take your time and learn the chords and watch your tempo. I...

In contrast to the pronounced vibrato theme of verse five, verse six of Blue Strollin' focuses mostly on long, smooth, swooping lines with gradual bends and swells. When building...

Hey Duke! This is such a beautiful little chord solo! I'm not quite smooth enough on it yet, but it's coming along, I think. Hope you think so too! ;-) Bruce  

Hey Corey. Here's my take on this. I grew up with the Rolling Stones version of this when I was a kid in the 60s and started listening to Robert Johnson because of the song. Their...

Thanks Duke, I tried one when I was visiting N.Y last October, today they seem around 2000$ which is way too much 'cause I'll have the shipping fees & 20% for french VAT! & noone...

Benard, All early Gibson amps are great and unique sounding up until the late 50s in my opinion. If I see a 150 I'll let you know. Duke

Hi to everyone, Still trying to find the amp tthat will emulate the original HE 150(?) that was sold alongside the Charlie Christian es 150, any indication will be welcome!  

I was hoping you'd say that!

Missy, great to see you on here! You totally nailed it!! Try playing it again, just a little quicker and see if you can stay relaxed. Remember, it's ok to be a little sloppy/loose...

HI Corey, it's an Epiphone emperor of 1994 from Korea. In the scorcese movie with you, Taj Mahal seems to have the same but in natural color. These are nice acoustic guitars. I...

Thanks Boyd - Have fun with it!

Thanks JD....I like that guitar.  Is that a Herb Ellis 175?  I have one too.....

Hi Corey, here's a little video i've made thinking of you in a singing audition in front of students. So now you can see one of our classroom ;) I haven't had time to work your...

A lot of good stuff to learn, love it I'm starting on my forth verse. Loving it

Hi Bill - I had to check, but no, I don't do all that in one breath. I exhale (stealthily) after 2 bars. I move the harp slightly away from my mouth for just long enough to...

I prefer to think of it as a goal-oriented growth mindset, but it definitely has the look and feel of an affliction at times.  Do you do those first three draw chords all on one...

Hi Bill - You'll get it - All it takes is focus and repetition....it also helps if you're a little bit  OCD. The main thing is, just stick with it and don't get discouraged. Have a...

Hi Rick, This was the verse I wrote you about back when you first put up the performance.  I've been working, working on those 2 and 3 hole TB bends.  This week is dedicated to...
