I will check that out. Thanks, Duke 

Duke, I hope you'll consider doing a lesson series on Willie Johnson. The stuff he played on Wolf's first recordings can be pretty wild. I'd especially appreciate you working up...

I love it thanks for doing this nice to have you here

Good to see you back. Thanks a lot.

I'm loving this tune...Looks like I need to get the CD!  

Hi Dave, Glad you are enjoying Sonic Junction.  Good question.   Our regular monthly membership rate is $19.95 / month.  Along with the monthly membership we offer a "two months...

Hi Mike, hope this finds you well, just wondering on my account how much time I have last year jioned for a year and got a month free this year jioned for the year and got free...

Today we will review the previous lesson and explore the middle section and the ending. I also discuss brushing the strings with your thumb. Enjoy!

Boyd - scat sing, la la la, dum de dum...just choose one. Important thing is to reproduce the notes with your voice.

Ok there are no words to this tune so I guess I scat sing it 

Thanks and that's what I do now sing it count it out. On the third hole I make the vowel sounds in my head. But for many years I was doing the draw notes to hard. Now I'm...

Hello Folks, This weeks lesson is on soloing on Hoochie Coochie Man. Of course, there is no solo on the original recording but in case you want to stretch out the song live or in...

Boyd - I have always taught "If you can't sing it, you can't make the harmonica play it". As to 3rd hole inhale second bend, you also have to get that note firmly in your inner ear...

Thank Jerry, I'm not used to getting up that high on the hapr but will be sure to get the 6-9 chord. Here is the tab for the turnaround does it look close? As I get the notes...

Thank you so much Jerry! I am having so much fun learning,and I have learned so much from you and Rick. This is such a great site and such a marvelous tool and method of teaching.

I will have to check on that Jeff.

Great Scott, Gotta check that out myself! 

I went up on YouTube and found someone posted the entire CD of Eddie Taylor's "Ready for Eddie."  It's a must listen and elevated Eddie to my favorites list!  

HI Daniel, You're really close on this one and the smoothness and continuity are getting better. You're making good progress - it's sounding more expressive and musical than ever....

Hi Daniel, Overall, a good effort. It's just a bit stiff. This is very common among beginners even when they have a grip on the basic techniques. It takes a while before you get a...

Hi Bob, Not a bad beginning effort but a couple of things to note: when you go high on the 5th and 6th repetitions of the opening riff, you're playing 10 blow instead of 9 blow...

Hey Boyd - Suggestion - Before you throw in the towel, try just feeling the beat and playing the chord sections of this piece. AND - Just like I told Mike - If it was real...

Stick with it, let the groove in and you'll get it! Trust me - if it was really difficult, I couldn't do it.

Hey everyone - In case you don't already know it, here at SJ, you get the added benifit of having a great player and teacher monitoring all of us!!! The Iceman is a bad man himself...

With the price of harps, probably not - Food, clothing and shelter are kinda essential too. Hopefully you're having fun playing and it relieves some of the drudgery of the day job...

I hope we'll tour Oz again one of these years! We were there in October, but we just flew in for two festivals, (Narooma & Caloundra) and left. It's a long way to go for 2 gigs!!!

Thanks Ian - Merry Christmas to you too!

Well, nothing YOU play is same old, but me, that's another story.I am playing with Buddy Whittington over at his house once a week, and that's a real shot in the arm. He likes your...

Yes Vince a capo is useful when looking for the key that is most comfortable for the voice.

Greetings Steve.  Wow.  I don't often play blues in D standard tuning.  I will think about that though.  There is a need for something that is not the same old in the...
