Hi Duke ... love the lesson.  I'm especially like that tag.  I've love how you mix chords, chord fragments and phrases.   Hi Peter ... great questions.  Pleasure to be learning...

I'm not sure what version you have so I don't know what key it's in. Once you establish the key, however, either 2nd or 3rd position would work well. It's just a matter of taste...

Hi Mike You should work your way through the "Masterclass" lessons to equip yourself with the foundation in technique that will equip you to tackle the songs that follow. Make...

@ Alex...your version of candy man is very nice.  It is also a little different from other versions and that is refreshing.  Thanks.

@JD and Alex...looking forward to you all posting a song soon. 

@Vinny...I really like the the last video a lot...it has a nice blend of blues and spanish sounding chords.  Thanks for posting.

@John Bunyan...your guitar tone is real nice here and you got the main riff down good.  Keep working at it sounds good.

Hi Mike   Yes, that is the right one.  I have it on a different album, but it is the same version.  However, I've figured it out since I asked.  It's not that difficult but...

Hi Rich ... thanks for the post.  I think it would help Jerry if we could post the tune for him.  Is this the one?

Hi Mattia ... beautiful!! You made my day.  Just love the flow and phrasing of your playing.  I can hear a great mix of what you've learned from Duke and your own ideas.

Hi Duke! Big Fan here, I started 2 years ago trying to play real blues and not with a whole lotta distortion.   I like players like you, jimmie vaughan, Zach Zunis, Kid Ramos,...
