Duke, I recently traded my 1966 ES-335 for a Louis Electric KR-12. I wasn't playing the 335 any more, and that amp is fantastic! I only looked at the amp because of your...

I'll add my voice to the request for a Charlie Christian lesson. Any song--blues, rhythm changes, whatever--will be welcome. Also, I'd love to get Duke's take on Chuck Berry, whose...

Thank you, Paul Kolesnikow (in the video) and Duke (in the remark below), for the comments on the strumming pattern. I find the four-to-the-bar swing rhythm incredibly difficult to...

Hi Peter, Its funny, I've been playing this kind of rhythm guitar so long I dont really think about it anymore but I think I lift my left hand up slightly between every beat while...

Hi Chuck, I am pleased that these lessons are helping you. Please make suggestion for song to teach. You may hit on something I know but wouldn't think of. Can't promise I'll do...

Hi Lizalu, Yes its one of my favorites! Bet this would  be a good tune for you to sing also. Duke 

Thanks Steve, Glad you are enjoying the lessons. I play an A7 for 2 beats as a passing tone to get back to the 2nd section. Hope that's what you mean. Duke

Hi Duke: Really enjoying the lessons! It is helping my playing progress( greatly appreciated by your old friend and my teacher, Paul Asbell). Anyway, I have a couple of questions...

Nice job Paul. You're certainly on the right track. Getting a good seal and isolating the lead notes cleanly will give you a bit more power. Well done!

Hey John, Glad you're starting to get it. Keep at it - just 5 minutes at a time several times a day will really help. 

this is a frist for me  i have played be fore but could not get   it right

Hi everyone Glad you guys are making progress. Practice regularly and when you can get the correct pitch changes, be sure to do the exercises I demonstrate that help you go...

Cheers for the practice box; love the ease of it; great improvement!!

Man after my own heart.  It always upsets me when good guitarists, stray so far from the melody that first attracted them/us to the song in the first place.  What your teaching...

Hi Chuck, sure Kansas City Wilbert Harrison style works for me. I love the guitar solo on that. It has to be a Telecaster! Duke 

Man, Carlos, that sounds awesome - great!

Hi Duke, one of the first songs I wanted to play when I started this guitar journey was "Kansas City" wilbur harrison version.  Have got chords etc, but can't seem to get a solo...

First of all, this is a fantastic idea to have guest teachers and Rick is one of the most fun of all. His video has great playing and nice break down of what he does. However,...

Hey Peter, That's very interesting how Bo does that S movement also. There is a sort of 'swing' in his rhythm. I love seeing teenagers going crazy over Bo, Very coo! Duke 

Hi Mike, Yes, please -- a practice list would be an improvement. Following up on your question to Lizalu, I work on a set of songs and lessons. A practice list and an easy way to...

Hi Lizalu --- thanks for the feedback.  After the "featured" section, we organize the lessons chronologically, with the latest on the bottom.  We thought this made more sense...

Excellent !!!  Thank you Paul .

Like what I posted above this is not a video but a "live" one-take recording I did of a track I learned here, "Romance in the Dark." Again, it's a Rode R144 Ribbon mic in front of...

Hello everybody!! this is one of the last composition of mine, performed by me and my band : "The Blues Snatch",the title is "crazy sunday,lazy monday".. me on guitar,vocals,Sam...

Hi Corey. Here is my first video, but I've been following your lessons for more then a year. Thanks for teaching! would be great to get some feedback.

Hi John --- all of the Swing lessons use Flash --- so they will not work on an iPad / iPhone in case that's the issue.  If not, can you please let me know what type of computer and...

I can not get the video and tab to show on the screen,  seems to be the same far all the swing lessons.  Is there a problem?
