Glad you like it Andre!

Wow !! What a Verse , sound "Big" , really like it !!

Hi Folks, This week we are finishing up "I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water" with a lesson on various chord fills and short single string lines to play around the vocal. I demonstrate...

In this last lesson we will focus on different ways to make the ending more interesting. We will talk about slight alterations that you can do, such as adding a D major 7 before...

This fifth verse of Blue Strollin' is almost all about vibrato and double-stops. I'm using the term "double-stop" in an attempt to properly describe the playing of two adjacent...

Thanks, Duke!!

Ha ha! Sorry, Duke. No, I meant that I'm playing the intro on guitar as well as rhythm guitar, and a more experienced guitar player was playing slide. Then later on, I overdubbed...

Hey Bruce cool version of it A La Chuck/stones! are you saying the slide guitar is a keyboard? If it is you fooled me........   

Sounds great Bruce and you've got the right job for the guitar!

Hey Duke! I'm so glad I have my new (to me) 175 for this tune! It feels just great on it. So here's my take so far on the intro And here's a bonus video. :-)  This is my band The...

Chirs, Great lesson man! Your song choices are wonderful.....this will help so much with learning more about playing in D

Hey Bill - Congratulations on the tongue blocking! It's gonna be well worth the effort!

I agree completely that your "quotes" fit seamlessly.  It's a beautiful tune and a great set of lessons.  I played it, at my best so far, for the first time this weekend with a...

Lewis, psychology indeed! You're sounding really good! I especially like the groove you get. It's got a real nice weight to it. I'm loving hearing everyone playing these songs!

Musical quotes can be fun and useful. The ones I used here just naturally popped out when I was coming up with the song - They seemed (to me) like they fit the piece perfectly and...

Hey Chris, My attempt at a couple of versions (the second time around is a pass at the Tony Rice approach). I'm really finding that the less I think about it the better it...

Great advice, Chris, and right on target. "That kid, always in a hurry," is my theme song. I will try my best to savor the notes. Once again, thank you for the thoughtful comments...

This is great stuff, Chris. And mighty deep. It will take some time to absorb the value of all you've included here. But, in the immediate future I can already visualize applying...

Thank you, Chris. That is very encouraging to me. Excellent tip on the hammers, also. It will help me as I begin to work things out on my own, that are based on stuff that is...

I think Woody Guthrie said that amateurs plagiarize but artists steal shamelessly.  I prefer the idea of quoting.  Seems like a much more respectful way to borrow an idea.  The...

Sorry Bill - I meant to tell what they were and I guess I got sidetracked. I apologize. I actually did name them though, in the Sonic Junction email lesson description. Ok, so the...

I give up Rick. What are the first two quote?

Mark, This is such a beautiful song that you might try slowing it down a little bit and seeing how much you can milk it. That said, the groove and flow are really good here -...

Chirs, Great lesson man! Your song choices are wonderful.....this will help so much with learning more about playing in D

Way to go Kip

My submission. I finally decided to send it, though it isn't quite as polished as I'd like. Still feel like I'm trying too hard. :-) Thanks for listening. Mark

Mark, you sound great! Seriously, watching that put a huge grin on my face. You're achieving the attributes that you mentioned in the thread about Wildwood Flower: clear, clean...

     -Perfection doesn't sound as good as imperfection. This is empowering. When we were making the most recent Punch Brothers album we were wanting to re-record and re-record this...

Mark, thanks for engaging with me on this and sorry for the slow response time. I try to get to answering comments here at least once a week but the last week and a half have been...

Great! We'll do more of it in the future.
