Chris, thank you for the encouragement. I'll try to be brief-- I'm a storyteller and a mental health professional, so these questions can have very long answers :-). Perfection...

Hi Duke, Thanks for all the music and patient instruction. My question and I apologise if this has already been 'hashed' over before, when you speak of a 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. blues...

Mark/Chris  - may I make a comment. First off - awesome picking job. Sounded great. As for perfection - I always wanted to be pefect before I attempted to play for anyone. In a...

Mark, beautifully played! You sound really great, close to perfect, so in that sense I'd say you are achieving your goal. Guitar playing-wise I have nothing to add but I'd like to...

 Chris, Decided it's time to publish this. I get stuck on perfection and never really know when to perform. My main goal in working through your material has been to break out...

Thank youi

brilliant !!!!!!

Chris - thx for the confidence boost.  I listened to my performance again noting the times you referenced and I understand and agree, This is a picking tune that thrills me and...

Killer! Sounds great! The timing got off around 0:54. Sounds like it may have skipped ahead a tiny bit. Tap your foot and count along and see if you can straighten it out that way...

Kip, I'm really psyched with how much you have improved as a guitar player over the few months. It's great! You're playing with a real confidence now and that makes such a big...

Thanks, Duke!!

Thanks Bruce, Well you really captured the vibe of that song! The two guitar parts sound really great together, good job.It's a fun song to solo on, we'll work on that next. Duke  

Hey, thanks, Kip! Very kind of you to say so. That's my Gibson J-45.

Hi Bruce - just out of curiosity what is that guitar you're playing (btw really well). It's a beauty. Thx Kip

Duke, congratulations on the award. This is a great song and the way you play it it truly awesome. Now, I just need to learn it.

yeah man!!!!!!!!!!

It's the size of a Gibson L-OO. a little bigger that a palor guitar.

Thanks Bruce, Well you really captured the vibe of that song! The two guitar parts sound really great together, good job.It's a fun song to solo on, we'll work on that next. Duke  

Chris -  I'm going to post this before I attempt to learn (start working on) the Tony Rice run, lick, chord progression thingy of the next and last lesson for this song. Is the...

Chris - you said take your time with it and I did ... literally ... a couple of months. My aim was to try and get the solos correct. This is where I'm at with this song. Am I close...

Thanks.

Hey Kip, also keep in mind that you don't have to do the Tony Rice thing if it feels way out of reach for now. As you keep working on all of this stuff you will keep getting...

Any more discussion about providing MP3 backingtracks in a downloadable format so that members can make their own recordings??

Chris - I'm gonna need a bigger boat. The Tony Rice thing sunk me. I'm glad you showed the alternate way you play the B part which also dresses everything up very nicely and I've...

I wish that someday Jerry would make the video series that only he can make--about growing up on Maxwell St--the music he heard over the years (blues, but also gospel, and Mexican...

Hi Bill - In my opinion, it'll definitely be worthwhile to spend the time working on nailing the pitch with your tongue on the harp. It might take a little longer to master the...

Hi Gagi - I'm real glad you like the song. I'm tongue blocking the entire song. If you don't feel comfortable tonguing, I'm sure the song could be replicated using a combination of...

Wow, congrats, Duke! And very well deserved, it's a really enjoyable album. And this is a great tune! It was a lot of fun hearing the two guitar parts together. Any comments...

Standards I'd love to see Jerry do a lesson on: His renditions of  "Stormy Weather" and "Lullaby of Birdland"  A Glenn Miller #, maybe "Tuxedo Junction" because it's so bluesy....

Hello, Jerry. While I'm doing a wish list:  Robert Johnson's "Hot Tamales and Red Hots".   People have picked up all the rest of Robert Johnson, but seem to skipped over this one....
