Great lesson Duke. I love Freddie King.

I don't play guitar so I've never played harp in a rack. Harp is usually a lead instrument but you can use it however you wish in accompanyng your singing - playing fills between...

Playing songs with well known melodies is a good way to pracice many musical elements. Since you know the song in your head, you have a model for trying to - not only hit the right...

I love that minor i (one) also. I learned this using a C7#9 for the I chord. I think this voicing is better. I'm glad you're doing this tune. Kenny Burrell is one of my favorites...

Hy Peter...Does this happen with your resonator guitari!?!?!?!?! Strange!!! Which gauge of strings do you use?!?!?!? Me, I usually tune in open D and put a capo on the 2nd fret...

love the backing track

Hi Folks, this week finish "The Stumble" by going over the last two head choruses. The melody is exactly the same as the first two opening head verses so what we are learning today...

It's one of my favourite even for me. Thanks Corey.

@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"
