Thanks Mike,   I need  my fingers thinking for me when I'm trying to sing. It's nice if your fingers have "legs of their own" so to speak when stepping up to the mike... Steve

I think there is a good amount of validity to your thoughts about a higher action setup for blues guitar playing. For one thing, blues requires alot of emotional input, for example...

Hi Steve ... sounds great.  Love that Tele tone!   It's cool looking back at your earlier video and seeing how the rhythm is going into your muscle memory (i.e. becoming "spinal").

Hey Duke, Here's the One plus One long and short parts...   Getting these on video is a nice practice regiment.

Here are the 1st and 2nd choruses of "Easy". Both choruses have the same melody but different sounds in playing them. The "growls" that I employ are done in two different ways. On...

Hey Steve, You got it perfectly! And I like your embellishment on the 2nd verse. I sometimes do that exact same thing! Nice tone also on the Strat. Duke

Duke,   Here's another go at it. I also added some embellishments on the 2nd 12 based on some you tube BB King videos. Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve H, Nice tone and feel. You have all the right notes but you need to start the riff a little Later. The riff starts a half beat after beat one. So the count would be 12341...
