The day that a teacher tells me, "Bruce, that was absolutely perfect! Couldn't be improved upon!", I'll know for sure that I'm dreaming , Guy. ;-) There was a story that the great...

Thanks Bruce, It's coming along pretty well but I don't know if I'll ever hold my arm the natural way playing but as long as I can play well I'm happy. Duke

Thank YOU Tom, Dave was a fabulous guitarist and many great records with Peggy.

Bruce, Your rhythm playing sounds great. You've got the basics down very well.  2 things: -although you mostly did a really good job of staying in the pocket, it came out a few...

Bruce, there's always room for improvement in any piece that we play. Each time you play it, play it like you are discovering it. That keeps it alive.

Having alot of fun with this tune . Thanks so much Duke . And thanks for turning me on to The Dave Barbour Quartet . Never knew of him , let alone being married to Peggy Lee . They...

Oh man ... that rocks. It's gonna take me awhile to get the riff as my hands can't stretch quite that far and I broke a thumb nail dang it .. ha ha I don't use finger picks...

Hi Chris - I felt like you were right behind me when I was recording this, so it seemed very natural at the time to turn back towards you on your solo sections! Another very...

Beautiful stuff, Duke! Can't wait for the track on this one! You sound great, but I cringe for you every time I see you move your shoulder. Hope the recovery continues to go well...

Hello Mr Gruenling, I've tried to write the timing of the song for this first part. Each line is a "riff" you played, seven for this part. Blue color is when you play, white is...

Hey Alex,  Thr approach might change several times even over the course of one song (especially Brakeman's Blues, which is so loose and open), but this might be the most...

Thanks for the great lesson, Chris. Is this the same strumming pattern you use on tunes like "Brakeman's Blues"? Thanks so much and looking forward to next week.  Cheers, Alex

Love it - but i'm not getting that gorgeous chord (around the 9.30mins mark) - any got it down and can sharing fingering? Cheers gang

Hi Folks, For this week's lesson I am going to demonstrate some minor pentatonic ideas to put together an intro of your own. Or you can simply listen to what I am showing you and...

For week 2 we're going to look at Jimmy Martin and the idea of swing in bluegrass rhythm guitar. Jimmy Martin's music always has a propulsive, energetic quality that underpins it...

The object of this lesson is to introduce you to the Drop D version of Little Red Rooster. If you are still feeling shaky with the standard tuning version, stick with it a bit...

Thank you Mr Gruenling for this big tribute, There's so many details you give, that I feel like if I was peeling an oignon!! You strip the song for us, litterally. You go very...

Drew, I appreciate the feedback, and I hear you. Anybody else reading these comments: I'd love to hear what you think as well!

Chris, Thanks for the reply.  I found the fundamentals stuff in the first month enormously useful, and I shared a lot of what I learned with my own students (I teach a beginner...

Bruce, "Circle" is a classic! Looking forward to hearing your rendition of this one!

Hi Drew, the answer is yes! The tune is pretty straightforward by design. Roughly each month I'll introduce a new tune or song that I will use as a vechicle to go in depth in...

 Thanks for the nice comment. Have fun with it!

George is often overlooked for sure! For many years (since the 90's) I've been telling people about him and trying to spread awareness of his awesome style and techniques. Still...

Dennis!  I've always just avoided George Smith......now, I know...wow!  Anyone talk bad about G eorge we gonna scrap.  Thanks for giving back.

mate thats a cool riff

Hi Daniel --- we have an updated Sonic Junction App for iOS 9 in review with Apple.   I hope that it will be released this week by Apple.  I will post an update on this thread...

Hey Jerry, Your method of teaching is amazing! I'm a guitar player and because of an injury on my little finger I can't play guitar for several month. I decided to start playing...

Any updates?

Is the plan to work on the solos between the verses in future lessons?  The tune itself is pretty straightforward, but would love a breakdown (and tabs, ideally) of what you're...

Cool - I'm definatley going to get a copy. Really digging this tune!
