Bruce, great improvement! In subsequent lessons we'll add more layers to the song, but for now you're doing great! I'd keep focusing on keeping the groove consistent between melody...

Hi again, Chris. Here's another go with your suggestions in mind and some more practice time! I *mostly* remember to cup my fingers so they don't hit the pickguard. It's funny how...

Very excited to have you here Chris.  I signed on another site in the past just for bluegrass. Glad in can get it here now. 

Hi, Duke, Herb Ellis is one of my other favorite gutiarists and I know you two recorded together. (I've been listening a lot to how you two played "Moten Swing", as I'm working on...

great tune Corey!!  i'm up to YOU GOT TO MOVE  i'm  only doing OPEN E tunes  so far, i started from  GOD DON'T EVER CHANGE,i've been slidin since i was 15  but these tunes have...

Hello Folks, This week we work on the solo from the bridge to the end of the tune for "Darling, You Know I Love you" and Mike has some great BB lines to learn. He makes that...

Beautiful Corey.  Absolutely beautiful.  I look forward to learning this one.

Thanks very much, Chris! 

Thanks very much, Mike! Very kind of you to say.

Nice Bruce.  I especially enjoyed your singing.  Made my day.

Great tune! A regular smorgasbord of pathos! ;-) I've never tried playing bluegrass licks before. I stole some ideas from "Norwegian Wood"! I really have to stop banging my...

Glade you'er here.

Ha! Good! It bears repeating because it FEELS counterintuitive a lot of the time.

But what bothers me is the lyrics which I'll post below. I noticed you don't sing all the verses. The words are from another time and era.  The Woman  has done something that makes...

Hi Chris - I'm very excited about this lesson, especially all the discussion about learning to relax. It's a recurrning theme I hear from Duke, i.e. "You need to relax a little",...

Hello Everyone! I'm very glad to be joining you here at Sonic Junction. I've been enjoying watching Corey and Duke's videos, and I'm looking forward to sharing some of what I've...

Thanks, Duke! As my technique builds with each of the lessons, I'm feeling closer and closer to being able to just relax and play -- but obviously not quite there yet! You, Mike...

Nice Job Bruce, Sometimes playing with a track can be a bit difficult but like Mike says, if you take your time and breath a little between lines it will groove more. Concetrate on...

Chris  I must of had a brain cramp when I wrote last. What I meant to ask is if the numbering system you are referring to in the lesson is the Nashville number ing system?  Steve

Steve, Tablature and the nashville number system are two different things. Tablature literally tells you where to put your fingers (i.e. 6th string, 3rd fret), and accordingly it...

And thanks for the kind words. Working on this song is really pushing my playing up a notch, and I'm watching you very closely, Mike, stealing as much as possible. ;-) I'm very...

Hi Duke! I've been working on this for a while now, and I think I'm finally getting a handle on this. Really pretty arrangement and fun to play. I thought I ought to get this part...

Thanks, Mike! I see what you mean about space; I'm doing a "California 4-way stop" (slowing down but never actualy come to a full stop) and blurring the phrase a little bit. I will...

I'd just like to step in here and tell Duke he's wrong - vibrato may have been an easier thing when he was younger, but his current vibrato is like a cross between early Freddy...

Yeah, like I said on your other video, I like your vibrato and attack quite a bit!  

Again, nice! Maybe a little more space between phrases? Your playing fits over the changes and isn't "wrong," but a lot of those phrases might sing more if you give them an extra...

Nice! For maximum authenticity on the brow wipe, record yourself in a room with bright lights and no air conditioning! I like your vibrato and attack; it's got its own thing while...

Steve, Tablature and the nashville number system are two different things. Tablature literally tells you where to put your fingers (i.e. 6th string, 3rd fret), and accordingly it...

Oh, one more question: Now that I've got a guitar that's usually in open A, I'm looking for more songs to do in that tuning. Could you kindly point out some ot your other lessons...
