Hi Rick, Just writing to agree with Boyd R. Keep the changelling material coming !! When I first heard this song this third chorus low end playing reminded me of the low end work...

I love this whole song but I think this is my favorite verse. Sounds like Louie Armstrong, worrying those three hole bends.  It really helps when you slow it down to hear just how...

Duke, thanks. I appreciate the help. I'll definitely take your advice and rework the A7 line. .Larry

Ha! ;) I remember reading once, don't know if it was apocryphal or not, that some guy went up to Charlie Parker after a gig and handed him some notation paper filled with runs of...

Yes Stevie, BB did a great version of it also. For some reason everyone ignored the original melody. maybe thinking it was too old fashioned. Which is what I love about it! LOL...

Yes Paul, They are great and that particular style of blues and swing is all but lost nowadays. I try my best to help keep it alive. music has no expiration date.if its good it...

Sounds great Bruce. And yes! Absolutely thanks to Scott for figuring out what I do there. Lord knows I don't know! Duke

Wow Larry, That's great beautiful arrangement of the verse. That's a fabulous example of how to play it finger style! Now my only suggestion would be, on the intro where it double...

Sounds very pretty to me, Larry! 

Thanks Rick. I love a challenge you learn more.  

This is my first audio (or video) post. Duke mentioned this song could work as fingerstyle. I started working on it yesterday morning; here's what I have so far: Duke's intro plus...

Chris, I guess I've lived under a rock my entire life because "With Body and Soul" is another wonderful song I've never heard. I doubt I'll be able to sing it well enough to post...

Hey Duke! So, here's what I came up with. Such a pretty intro!  

Funny how something so simple (Third chorus) is not at all intuitive. however it is coming along slowly...It's enhancing my appreciation/respect for those first 3 holes.  Sweet...

Hey Boyd - I'm glad you're diggin' it. Don't worry, I get so obsessed with detail, I'll probably never be able to come up with one that's too simple anyway 

To Scott Sorkin aka Mr. Transcriber: I owe you a debt of thanks. I've been knocking my brain out trying to figure out how to play Duke's part over my track and I just could *not*...

Here again we look at the tune, "There Is Always One More Time", a beautifully written ballad by Doc Pomus, recorded by B.B. King, Johnny Adams, Harry Connick, Jr. and others...

I'm on my first chorus and having fun with it. It's just going to take a little time. I like to learn hard songs. If it's not hard why work on it. So thanks and continue hard songs...

I picked up a Cats and the Fiddle recording years ago back in the LP days. I've never lost my taste for them. Glad to see they are represented here.

He was lucky in that respect. I never had that!

Congrats on the award!  I missed the album altogether, I'll be checking it out for sure. It's tough enough to try to learn to play guitar like Duke Robillard, I hope you're not...

The only one who could understand him was his woman.....can you dig it?

In this lesson I break down the fingerpicking and show you which fingers I am using and on what strings.   I also give you a backing trck that you can loop and use to practice...

This third verse could serve as one small example of how much can be done on the harp while confining your playing to just the bottom three holes. The 3 draw is possibly the most...

Hi Folks, This week we work on the intro for "I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water" which is a cool intro with an early jazz and blues vibe. The blues of the 20s and 30s often had intros...

Always love the Jimmy Reed! Thanks Corey  

Congratulations,  Duke!  I just downloaded the album.   Great tune.  I am still working on it. 

Thank you mr. harris.
