Thanks for the note and sorry for the issue.  A couple questions so we can figure out what's going on 1. what lesson are you experiencing the issue with? 2. what is your internet...

I just recently signed up. Love the site But.........If I just click the play arrow on the video there is no latency is  But when I click on the lesson tab the audio and video...

Nice!!!!!!!

Thanks so much, Duke! It's great to hear that. I have a friend who plays a mean guitar with whom I share some of my videos, and for quite a while he's been saying, "You really...

Hey Bruce, Your vibrato sounds great to me. You are doing great with it. It takes a lot of time to develop the sort of vibrato that Mike has. Remember he started at about 10 years...

So here's my best so far. My vibrato is still very wonky. At this point in my guitar development, I don't think I have a "natural vibrato". ;-) So here I am with my unnatural...

[ continued ...] When I was a youngster learning jazz piano, one of my teachers was listening to me play some 40s standard, I forget which one. He kept complaining about the way I...

That is some fabulous guitar playing, Mike! I'm completely knocked out by your balance of raw blues feel and amazing chops. I've ripped my poor index finger to shreds trying to...

Thanks for bringing to me this wonderful song. Over time it may get smoother. Its one of those rare songs you feel the words every time you play it.  It is the blues.  I will...

 

Nice break down of a classic. I started out like most as a lip purser but after TBing just about everything for the last few years alot of these classics are much easier for me...

Cool - thanks Mike

Beautiful Mike!!  I love the way you hit that two notw chord fragment --- the tone is beautiful.  I second Charlie's request --- any advice on setup and getting the tone would be...

the explanation of vibrato starting by pushing up has really been an " aha"  moment for me. Thanks mike.... Also duke hope ur on the mend Kinds regards terry

Yeah, he said it was slide guitar, Hawaiian steel guitar, and singers that inspired it. 

B.B.'s guitars in the Sixties often had the middle position out of phase, and he could get more or less of that phase cancelled sound by tweaking the individual pickup volumes...

Yeah. I think a lot of the Regal sound is room mics and the guitar leaking into the vocal and other instruments' mics - the pictures from that show have him using a rare 335 with a...

Very nice Mike .  Thanks .  

Great job Mike! I'd been doing the same thing with the vibrato (pulling down instead of pushing up) for years. Got it right way round there days, but really to good to have it...

I read that B developed his vibrato as a sub for bottle neck slide.    

Hi Folks, This week we are starting on the melody for Darling,You Know I Love you. Mike demostrates it first 2 A sections here economically and very medolic. For a reference I...

This time out we're tackling the first part of the last verse in my version of Sonnyboy Williamson's "Nine Below Zero." In this lesson most of the focus is on using your hands in...
