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...

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...

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...

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...

Really ejoying this 

Thanks Boyd! Glad you're liking it!

Hey Sonic Junction - It's lesson 3 on this Lockdown Shuffle and it's packed with good and handy tools that you'll be able to reference and utilize throughout your harmonica...

Hello Folks, This week I am demonstrating some new T-Bone riffs and ideas on his phrasing and timing. T-Bone's style was rhythmically complex at times. Like the man who used his...

Well, how'd it go? :-)

Hi JiMyeong! Do you hear how much more open the sound becomes when your hand doesn't touch the bridge pins. That, to me, is a wonderful sound.  I will definitely use my palm or...

Hi Tom, you're correct, the tab doesn't include the crosspicking. But I'd encourage you to slow the video down and try to learn those bits by ear. I'm generally rather distrustful...

Hey Robert, nice job figuring this out by ear! I have 2 comments: 1) try to look for a real sense of flow in your right hand where you are maybe more focused on the pick just...

Woo! You nailed it! Just make sure that your tempo stays consistent between singing/playing rhythm and the solo. I always think it's a good idea to set a tempo according to the...

Hi Matt, sounding good! I really appreciate the spirit that you've got in this. My main observation is that the tempo changes quite a bit when you're playing rhythm guitar and...

Love this! You sound great and the Homespun-style camera work is awesome. I love that you've taken time to really study the rhythm guitar. My only advice would be to just slow it...

Love ya, man!  Awesome lesson.  Learning a ton from you.  You are inspiring me to wake my ass up and get ready to break out when the world begins again.... Also, very cool to hear...
