Duke, just found out you are coming to Chicago October 2 at SPACE.  That's my birthday so I got tickets for a buddy and I (the wife is more of a Symphony gal - she studied clarinet...

Like the way you come across with you musical philosophy on playing the harmonica in connected bits and peices. It's giving me some hope. Sincerely, Mick Soroka

Hi Everyone, I hope you are making good progress on the solo to Hoochie Coochie Man and you've got that top end stuff down. Now after I play the first section on the high end, I...

Hi Joe, I'm playing through an Astatic JT-30 mic and a small one speaker Fender amp (don't remember what model).

Rick-oops, hit the h button.

Still working on it Rich-and having such a great time! Thank you so much!

I'm 64, played some guitar in my youth, but since I retired started learning to play the harmonica (blues style).  I could never find sheet music with tabutation on it for the...

I feel I gotta share this one ...    

Harvey Kail... The fact that you believe it takes a lot of pressure on that 5 inhale bend in order to bend it towards the floor tells me you should rethink your bending technique....

Cool solo w/Clapton, for sure....but even cooler shoes.

Great Chris, and Thank you! Duke 

Dear Jerry here is the list of songs I would like you to breakdown I hope that you can cover them all... Thanks & Regards, Preston. How Long Blues.....Five Long Years....Goin'...

Duke, I just want to say thank you. I've been wanting to get swing under my fingers for a long time and you've really made it easy for me to do that. I really appreciate you...

Jerry, I'm a relative new comer to this site and have really enjoyed your lessons over the past two months.  Thanks!   Since you asked about songs we'd like to have you to break...

cool!

I am having such a great time-and learning so much! You have really helped me play with more percussion and rhythm.

Thanks guys! Let me know what solos or songs you'd like me to break down and I'll try to accomodate your requests.  I'll be teaching along with some outstanding guest instructors.

I have a version of Stormy Monday I recorded with Romful of Blues in the 70s if that will help? Duke

Hi Peter, Sounds good, Where did you the video? Very wild lighting! Keep up the good work. Duke 

Jerry, thanks for this lesson and welcome back (and for bringing Rick into the fold...great stuff)!  I'm thrilled you're teaching off of From the Cradle.  It was this CD that...

Hi Friends, This week we are wrapping up Gypsy Woman. The last verse is similar musically to the 2nd. The guitar is even a bit simpler than the other verses as far as what Muddy is...

  the joy-ride rolls on, what a FUN song to play !   -  although it would help to have 20 cups of coffee to keep up with the backing track  -  somehow Freddie pulls it off so...

Hi everybody and welcome back.  We're continuing to work on the solo I did for Hoochie Coochie Man with Eric Clapton at Hyde Park.  Last week we did the very first phrase.  This...

I have only been a subscriber to Sonic Junction for a few weeks, but think it is so cool to get a weekly lesson from Corey Harris.  He goes nice and slow so I can keep up and...

Thanks Corey, that would be great. Plus will be good to work towards posting my own video. Cheers Rich

Hi Corey, Tnx for the tone-comment. I always strive for tone... The song is a personal interpretation and simplification of the marvelous Blind Blake tune Chump Man Blues (in...

Greetings Tom.  You have a nice tone on the guitar and your rhythm is solid.  Sounds good...what is the song?  Thanks for posting.    

@ Tim...Thanks for watching and we look forward to seeing you post a video soon.  Thanks!

@ Kurtis...thanks for posting this video.  Nice to see the ukelele here.  You have worked the tune out well to fit the uke and your tempo and rhythm is pretty solid.  I would...

@ Tom M...It sounds like you have the basic riff down well.  I would suggest that you pay closer attention to the noise coming from the other strings and try to dampen or minimize...
