Hey Everyone, I want to thank you for posting your videos of my lessons. I think its important to share there with each other and I personally love to see the progress and...

That's a very good idea! i'll look for a tune of his. There's alway blues in whatever Barney plays! Duke 

Thanks Duke.

Hi Charlie, You sound great playing this! i am enjoying your own lines alot. some of your double time stuff is very good and i can hear it going from your head to your fingers...

Hey Marty, Great feel and tone on this! Man, you really sound good and nice to see you're picking up all the little inflections. Great job! Duke

Hi Bruce, I like your more contempory blues take on this. (Someone to love) thanks for posting! Duke

Hey Marty, Great job! You certainly are Cookin'! Congratulations, you now can play that tune faster than I can. Duke

Thanks George! I'm real glad you're enjoying it! I cover a lot of little, idiomatic details that seem important to me, and it's always gratifying whenever somebody else appreciates...

You're so right that this tune is loaded with musical ideas. I love this lesson. It's definitely changing and deepening my playing. Tongue blocking the 1 blow and draw (which i...

Hi Duke,

I think that word is perfect. It relates to your idea that the playing should be conversational and make sense.  If you took the conjunctions out of a sentence it wouldn't make...

YES - thank you for brining to my attention! I appreciate you telling me, because I never write out my songs until AFTER I improvise them. I have a framework and an indea of what I...

It seems to me that you play two different versions of the last part (from the 4. cord) of verse 7, Dennis. The version you play in the introduction of the series, and in the...

That is a great quote!! I have to remember that one, thank you!!  When you are swinging, swing more!!  :-)  Perfect!!

Hey Rick, I had to look up "conjunctive" but now I think I know what you're talking about :)  You've quoted Monk's about how it's everyone's job to make the drummer sound good....

That's another one of my favorite Monk quotes. And by "conjunctive" (hopefully I'm using it the right way - I've been using that description for years) I mean the little supportive...

You made me laugh ... "it's all just the same bag of tricks" ... Critter just do that crosspicking thing. Great lesson!

Hello Folks, This week I teach some T-Bone chord and chord fragment ideas that accent the single note lines work well to build to a climax of a solo and also chordal riffs to use...

We're re-issuing one of Corey's most popular lessons with new sheet music, re-mastered video and updated loop points. From Corey:  In this last lesson we review the song and play...

Hey, Sonic Junction, it's Rick Estrin back again and this week I'll be breaking down verse 3 of "The Lockdown Shuffle". This lesson features a fairly explicit explanation of how...

We're re-issuing one of Chris's most popular lessons with re-mastered video and updated loop points. From Chris:  This week we are continuing with a crosspicked version of the B...

Thanks Duke. That suggestion to think the initial notes in your head, but not to play them is really interesting. I've been practicing that and it's amazing how T-Bone-y it can...

Hi Chris, Backtracking a bit from my last video. I have been working on this tune off and on for a while. I have stared to dig into the next version, with the chromatic licks...

Hey Chris ... I wish I could report it went great. I'm having trouble with the bit up the neck and an over all uncool vibe-like stiffness feel to the rest of it ... BUT I haven't...

Hi Chris,Ok, first video post; first time video-recording myself, actually, and I'm stunned by how hard it was. In the end I gave up on getting all the way through it in one pass...

Hey Duke! Here's my stab at this one. What a great tune, and a real fun backing track to play with. Let's hope for better times to come in this crazy world, and if it's not asking...
