@Corey...wow...one of my fav ever!!! :) Thanks....when you go to the 12th fret with the slide it sounds just like a train comin...:)

This week we will begin learning Robert Johnson's blues classic, "Rambling On My Mind". This is one of the all-time greatest blues tunes ever written and there seem to be a million...

Hi Jerry ... love the tune and this series.  It's really helping me to get control over the bends.  Your advice on bending the 1 hole worked for me.  I've never bent the 1 hole...

This week we breakdown the "B" section to "Sentimental Journey." Once again, sing the section you're working on before trying to play it. This song was a big hit during World War...

Glad everyone liked this. It's an iconic song and though many people play it in "cross" position, the original was done, as I show it, in first position.

Glad you like this one. I may do more standards in future posts.

@JDY...you have a nice tone in your playing, and the slide sounds good too.  I think you should focus now on tempo and rhythm.  Find the one one rally dig into it...try playing to...

Hello Corey i'm back again ! First let me thank you for your kinds words on last lesson and the open mic :) ! I hadn't many time before the next lesson so here's my homework. I'm...

@Corey I don't know if it's the microphone ... certainly the fans of the PC does not help us. I can hear much a lower volume. I try to put a little more energy, then The parlor...

@Alex...in the first part of the video it sounds a little too quiet.  I'm not sure if it was the microphone or you playing quietly.  When you brush the strings with the flesh of...

Thanks for the reply, great lessons, love your music.

I found that if I kept time with my foot and knew where the 'one' was it was easier.  You may want to practice singing while only playing the bass line first.  You can add the...

Hi Mark .. thanks for the thoughts.  We are going to be releasing a new lesson page design in a couple weeks.  It will include a print button and also remove the lesson listing on...

Hi, just curious if you have any tips for singing while playing. With strumming I dont have problems singing but now that I play more advanced songs with fingerstyle, trying to...

Hey Jerry, just (re)joined Sonic Jct and glad I did   Listening to Hoochie Coochie Man.  I've played that song for years....the wrong way.  I was stunned to hear how simply you...

@Corey..here's my attempt. sorry for the long video. I though to divide it in 3 parts...first just doing scale starting brush the string and then picking so that you can listen the...

Duke, can you tell me a song or songs where I would find these chord changes?  I can look them up.  I like this progression lots.  

I agree with Mike that it's nice to be able to print out the lessons. For the newer lessons, I write out the tabs in pencil on tab paper for a handy reference. Which raises a...

I've gotta say I am really enjoying the Freddie King stuff, thanks a lot. For a future lesson, how about a Guitar Slim tune, like "Letter to my girlfriend"? I also like Clarence...

Hi Friends, this week we are working on the second chorus of "The Stumble." There's more deceptively simple lines that are a bit hard to nail as far as playing exactly like Freddy...

Here's the "A" section to Sentimental Journey. Sing this melodic line before you begin playing. This will fix it in your mind and you will anticipate the correct notes as you play...

Something Jerry said  "If I can't hear it...I can't play it"

@Corey..thanks!!! .I just took some lines from the Lightin Hopkins version....i can feel my wrist still a little bit too contracted...:)) Hasta pronto! 

Hi Mike  I don't know why but one lesson in the series is missing(3rd of 4) from Cold, cold feeling. I don't need anything broken down I need that lesson re-posted. I'm quite sure...

@Corey..you're welcome! :)

"Back at the Chicken Shack" (Jimmy Smith, with Kenny Burrel on guitar) is a fun "greasy" blues in F. Sure you know it. Think many of the members would enjoy playing it, and I can...

Thanks, Duke! I love all those tunes---great to hear there's a chance it could be "Shivers". That's a great one

Sounds like a plan, thanks Mike!

@Claudio...I use .12s strings and that works for me.  Some people like .13s...so it's really whatever you feel most comfortable with.  The action doesn't need to be that high on...

@Alex...as usual your playing here is nice.  I think it is good that you added something of your own to the song.  Your slide playing is clear and it sounds nice.  I would only...
