Hi Tony, Sounds good. Great start on this wonderful Freddy King tune. Duke 

Thanks Mike, it's one of my favorite tunes. Duke 

Hey Nacho, Great job on that chord melody! Nice guitar also! 

Very good Bruce! You did fine and played some things of your own that worked really well. Good job! Duke 

Hi Charlie, That's very good! I like your feel and it's a good idea to comp in between lines like you did there. Nice muting also on some lines too. That really gives it the Les...

Hi Tom, I never heard that but believe it to be true. Although in today's world I find it hard to imagine exactly what it is that keeps people interested in this style of music...

Thank you Sunny, I will try and get to these all. There are all great tunes and of course there are thousands of songs from that era that I would love to learn and teach! Duke 

I can't believe you're in love with me, When your lover has gone, Please don't talk about me when I'm gone   Any of these please.. No one explains swing like you Duke.

Nice, thank you for the well written answer. I really appreciate all of your help.

Hey Corey, I did some work on Catfish blues and I think I am ready for some feedback. Let me know what you think and I will be happy to hear it! Thanks for your great lessons,...

Thanks Corey. Great feedback as usual! 

Greetings Kurtis -- For me, the song and melody come first and then I write lyrics to it.  I have a lot of lyrics that I have written but did not find the right music for it so...

Greetings Jamie -- You have a good grasp of the riffs and where to place them.  Good job.  You have also applied the different techniques well, such as brushing the strings.  I...

Thanks Wheeler.  I look forward to seeing you post a video.

greetings Mike -- I clear my mind when I sing and let it flow.  I FEEL whether or not it is right, but I don't analyze.  I just make sure that the words can be heard and understood...

Thanks so much!

Hi Bruce, Yes, it's an "A" harp playing in the key of E. I'd recommend a Hohner Special 20 which has a plastic comb and won't absorb moisture from your mouth, which could cause...

Thanks Duke .   I agree with you ,the melody is the song . Didn't Herb Ellis say you lose your  audience when you stray to far from the melody ?

Hi Bruce, Yes, it's an "A" harp playing in the key of E. I'd recommend a Hohner Special 20 which has a plastic comb and won't absorb moisture from your mouth, which could cause...

Just wanna say, dope show on Saturday...still feeling high off it..I love how you and Alvin both did pony blues...it showed the personal touch each of you put into your own...

Hey Jerry, I'm a guitar/keyboard guy, but since there are all these great lessons here, I figure I might as well learn some harp while I'm at it!  So I'm wondering what kind of...

Mike -  I noticed that I was able to add the older Flash based lessons like Duke's Blues-A-Rama via the app, but there's no preview icon and it crashes the app when I try to play...

Hi Harry --- you make a great point and this one was a tricky one for us.   Corey's actually playing a moving tone between the 3rd and 4th fret.  It's both the location and how he...

Hi Glo --- you may want to try some of Duke's three note voicings that he does on several lessons.  His "gospel" chord is a bit of a stretch --- but the others are pretty good...

Just discovered this site and your lessons. I was glad to see more than a few of the tunes from your cds that I never got around to figuring out. This song being one of them. Your...

 Messing about with the jam track, I am going to work on this one for a bit.

Have you though about adding a chromatic harmonica lesson?  I am sure I am not the only person with a Hohner Super Chromonica lying about the house gathering dust.   I am not...

Mike, I've been working on this part as well.  I'm finding it's a tight seal on the 7, tongue forward & sort of saying "thwee or thway"  mid-tongue is pressing upward and...

 Here's what I've got - some clunkers (you don't want to see the out-takes!) I'm feeling it but concious that I don't have it intellectually (I know zero about theory, always got...

Alright , thanks .
