Great, stuff, Corey. I have a coupla plain old blues lyrics that I would like to sing in D, and I would love to see a lesson in standard tuning that would give us some approaches...

That guy was also great -- but he had a very interesting evolution - he was playing somewhere and met a very lovely white banjo player who was interested in slide guitar - they got...

Vinny...just seen the video on youtube...that bluesman playin robert johnson...if I had possession over judgement day and come on in my kitchen....there's no video of Robert playin...

Each position on the harmonica will have it's own particular advantages and disadvantages, and sounds/patterns that work well. Little Walter's "That's It" is a great tune, as well...

Thanks very much. I think for me it's also a matter of my ear training, in other word I've become very comfortable with the sound of second position andperhaps I'm still chasing...

Hi Steve, Yes, there are many ways people play this riff. I just prefer to teach from the original source. It's always best to start from there anyway. I am not a tab reader so you...

Thanks so much!! If you can make it out, be sure to come up & introduce yourself!! 

Dennis,  Thanks for the groovy lesson!...it's making me learn.  I'm hoping to make it down to see you & Steve Guyger at The Record Collector/Bordentown NJ on the 19th.    

Hi Brian - I use 3rd position quite often (more than any other player I know actually). Keep in mind that there are MANY ways for 3rd position to sound different than 2nd...

There is another track I found you might like too.  Another talent that was not a big headliner because of the decline in audience of blues in general in the 80s and 90s.  I...

Seems like we are like minded! Agree with your thinking. Sometimes less is more and Jennie Mae Hemphill proves that. Regards

Hi, Does anyone have a 12 bar backing track in A that would be suitable for me to play harp to on "keep our business to yourself" ? It figures I would pick one of the first lessons...

I'm glad that you guys like the melodic songs as well as the blues. And hey D.W. - I hope you're getting something from these lessons. I know that you're a fine player already!

Both Dennis and Rick are excellent chromatic players and play it regularly in their shows. I use it strictly on a "need to" basis. Not sure how many of our subscribers have a...

I play either the Hohner Marine Band DeLuxe or the Hohner Crossover.

No apologies necessary.  I'm glad you found it as appealing as I did. And the community here is a great resource; I enjoy it. I was really taken by the song and her great vocal...

Hi Vinny.  Apologies for jumping in. But wanted to thank you for introducing me to that Jennie Mae Hemphill track.  As you say 'deadly'. Echoes of Hooker and Burnside. What a...

I'm glad you are enjoying it, Duke, because it's the opportunity of a lifetime to be able to learn from you! And I'm having a heck of a lot of fun too!

Bruce, I would love to hear that actually. I am always interested in my students progress. I am really enjoying teaching at Sonic Junction!

My bad on the spot where Jennie Mae Hemphill appears - it's about 18:12 into the video which is 1:31:14 long.

Hi Peter, Thanks for sending this. First, good job on the rhythm, it's nice and steady. You're pretty close on the melody. I realize this is a tough one and you did a good job. I...

Thanks, Duke.  You've hit the nail on the head, alright. The other day I watched one of Jerry Portnoy's lessons where he was saying that the main thing he heard early on from Muddy...

Hi Bruce, Nice job on soloing. I like the quote from Sweet Georgia Brown on the bridge! Now what I noticed is that you seem to want to play ahead of the track in general. The idea...

Great, so glad you agree.  For some reason I did not get a notice by email that there was a reply here, so I just read your message.  I like this groove he hits in Poor Black...

Great to see You back!!!  Regards!!!

So many ways guys and gals play this riff.  I like to play the lick in measure 1. Also do a octave root variant. Ex 1 or Ex 1a  (with octve) Most seem to play the following...

Hey Duke. Finally as promised, with mistakes and all of course! ;-) I know I stared rushing like crazy during the double-time feel. Oh well. Now that you've got a new lesson up, I...
