hi Jerry !!!  what type  of microphone are ya using?

Hi Duke, Here's my run at it. Thanks for another fantastic lesson! Marty

you've done it  again mate....  TOP SONG   Corey  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   cheers

Hi All --- thanks for the feedback on the new sheet music.  For this lesson --- we're specifically interested in how the automated page turning worked for people on Duke's...

Hi Folks, This week we are doing another chorus of solo for Glide On. This lesson includes more Bill Jennings licks. Starting with a device he uses often with the 3rd to the high...

This was a popular song by the Legendary MIssissippi Sheiks. I have always liked the vocal line of this song...it is a crooner's delight. The guitar line is simple and exists to...

This week we're learning the break chorus in "Blues in a Dream". This is the emotional high point, so put that energy into it! Jerry      

 Hey Chris, thanks for the awesome lesson, really enjoying working on this, I know I'm muffing some phrasing in this (or maybe emphasis is a better word, (or both)) but between...

 Hey Chris, thanks for all the feedback, definitely feeling better consistently working with the metronome! Gotta start capturing some of that H/O P/O dynamic range. Thanks again...

Thanks for the feedback Duke!

  When I need a break from singing at a show, I trot out the "High Heel Sneakers" quite often. Thanks for all you do Duke.  

Hi Marty, Great playing there! Some real nice funky stuff utilizing a lot of different techniques. Very GOOD! Duke

Hi Duke, Here's something I put together while the turkey was cooking.. I played along with you for the first chorus did some chord fills for the second then improvised a solo...

Wiil you provide TABs of the breaks you are playing and go over them in the course of this lessson?  Also details on the walks and runs you play during the vocals would be great...

Hey Chris -- Thanks for being a stickler, that's why I asked! ;-) I'll work on that. I have observed as I've been working on it so far how much the physical aspect of picking...

Hey Bruce, you're doing great! You've got the notes and the timing down. The first thing to work on is making sure that when you're playing 16th notes your pick direction is...

Hey Chris - So I'm still working on this and can't play it up to tempo yet, but just wanted to make sure I was getting the right feel. This style of picking is harder than it...

Slim, there are CDs out there of Bill with McDuff. probably cutouts though. I bet you can find them online, try Amszon. duke

Hi Peter, Bruce has a point there. On your rhythm, try playing very light. Paul had a good demonstration of how to pick 4/4 rhythm. He said you flick out in a light quick motion as...

Slim Duke commented October 24, 2015 (see Why don’t you do right, solo LN 3) that with some adjustment to the intonation, it was good to go right out of the box. Great prices on...

Slim It's in the last session of the series - Lesson 4. On the right hand side of your screen you will see 4 icons in a white box. Click on the second icon from the top for the...

Hi Jerry, Some interesting new challenges for me in this chorus.  First, on the opening 8 hole draw, sometimes it sounds like you're catching some of the 8-4 octave.  Am I...

Fascinating contrast between this and the previous fingerpicking version! And really great playing. Thanks for the really inspired lesson, Chris! 

Duke-any Bill Jennings recommendations?  I don't think the Jennings/Mcduff record pictured with Glide On is in print... Thanks, Slim

By the way, Mike, having the rhythm notated as it is now saved me hours on this. I had a really hard time with the 4th bar, and without the notation, it would have been so much...

Hi Duke! I figure I'll try to improvise something on the final version, but I learn so much from learning your solos note for note! I love that last lick you do, where you slide...

Mike I second Marty's request for the chords.  Chet Atkins was asked once if he read music to which he replied, not enough to hurt me any. Cheers Steve  

Like so many other guitar player's I've been playing this song for years but not neccessarily right. With these lessons i am that much closer. I still need practice,...

Hi Mike,  I think the new tab format looks great. One comment would be to have the chord names noted above the tab. I would find this very helpful.  Thanks for a great site!...

Damn that is nice. If i weren't so stubburn i'd hang up my axe after hearing your improvisation Duke. But, it is where i want to be. And as the Texas Rangers say Never Ever Quit...
