@Corey...I slowed it down I think..that variations are still difficoult for me...The matter is not only how to do them, but I think make them not too much repetitive...I'm tryin to...

Mean Mojo, it would be easiest for me to hear you play on a video. Then perhaps I could give you constructive advise. Duke 

Duke... How do I get that T-Bone Walker feel into my fingers...? I have a lot of frustration here with that. Everything I know how to play is based on a shuffle feel with eighth...

Hi Folks, here we are on our second lesson for "That's Alright." We work on the second verse as Jimmy Rogers played it in his Chess recording. Very simple low string pattern but...

"Baby, Scratch My Back." Here's the breakdown of the first two choruses before the vocal comes in. As always, sing the lick first and then anticipate the correct notes just as...

Hi Bill,  Welcome to Sonic Junction!  For a beginniner, Jerry typically recommends starting at the bottom of the list (Chord Rhythm) and working your way up.  Once you get through...

@Alex...gates is another way of saying door (gate is what you walk through when you enter a yard at someone's house).  So the song is talking about traveling to see a woman at her...

Hi, I am new here. Are the harmonica lessons in any particular order? If so, where does a beginner begin? Thanks. Bill

@Corey..thanks!!! Yes it's a really nice coincidence! Sometimes they kindly happens! :)....Sorry for middle section you mean that non singin part, right? :) 

@Peter Wolf...you are off to a great start.  I would suggest that you listen again to the lesson and try to let the strings ring out a bit more on this section.  Also the part...

@Alex...nice job.  What a coincidence that you were learning this tune and I post a lesson on it at the same time.  I think that the middle section (where you play the harmonics...

@ Mike...thanks.  Looking forward to your posting a video.

@Peter....thank you! I really love this tune!! It's one of my favorite ever :))) Nice that you started again to play your acoustic lady!!! :DDD 

Corey....sorry....what do you mean for Black Woman Gate!?!?!!??

@ray and stevie....thanks for the advices!!!! :)))

Thanks Jerry....I am seeing quite a bit of progress by using the "Skatting" technique in combination with the backing track. As I learn and embed the licks deeper into my...

@ Jerry Portnoy I hear those spots now that you brought them to my attention. I'll work on those with one continuous breath Thank you

Hey Thomas Your sound and tone are very good. It's just that your timing is not synched up with the backing track. In those spots where they do line up properly it sounds really...

Hey Biscuit Outstanding!! Notes and bends are spot on, lovely vibrato and tone - a really great job. There are a couple of spots where the phrasing is  a tiny bit staccato between...

 I am seeing a lot of progress in my timing...not there yet but the jam tracks are producing a better feel and helping me to relax a little more better, blueswise, if you know...

 I played this tune to the best of my ability at an opem mic last week and the crowd went wild!! Thanks Jerry and Rick...Now if we could only get some recordable (Mp3) tracks with...

I had some trouble keeping up but here's my shot at the intro.

Alex, I think this style and in particular on acoustic lends itself to just how you approached it.  Soloing is more chord based with a minimum of single note playing, and that even...

@ray thanks....I really don't have any idea how to approach to this different style...so the sound should be like a kind of up and down putting the accents where I think they...

@Alex ... you sound great !!  

@Duke....this is just a general attempt tryin to pay respect to the main theme and throwing in some licks that I learned by Corey...I don't know if it's sound good plus I'm not...

Wondering whether or not the guitar part of this really is in key of F minor?  At several jams I've attended, a harp player I know will often ask to play Help Me in E minor (but...

Hi Robert and Greg ... my apologies.  It's all fixed now.

John Lee Williamson’s (Sonny Boy I) Good Morning Little Schoolgirl. This was the first hit record for Sonny Boy. In this lesson I slow down his main licks. F harp in the key of...

is Help Me really in a minor key?  Some of the harp players at jams I attend want to play it in E minor.   brian
