Duke, You are the best.

I think: What could I do to make the other person sound better than they already do And also I think about space - leaving space for the other cat playing Or at least I try to :-)...

Hi Friends, This weeks lesson is the final lesson for Chitlins Con Carne. Since I gave away most of my bag of tricks for this tune last week we Review the tune adding the correct 1...

Thanks Corey, for introducing us to the E minor tuning.  The album liner notes mention that, In France during World War One, Stuckey acquired open E minor tuning from soldiers he...

@Corey I was thinkin to play tune 1/2 or 1 tune lower....It's to high for me....I am also lookin for to find the key to play blues in Italian and I discovered that cut the words in...

This has been the best part of the concert....We were all sitting on the floor but in a certain moment everybody standed up when Habib started playin a think a traditional malian...

@Thanks Corey....I will upload soon a new video of catfish blues,too!!...I've met Habib Koitè (he played in duo with Eric Bibb)last sunday and listened to that wonderfull tune...

@Alex...keep up the good work.  I dig what you have done with the tune already.  You don't do it just like I do, but that is the point...to make the songs a way to express what YOU...

@WAngalik...I think he is just saying that Skip James and many other blues men used to finish the vocal lines with a guitar riff that sounds like the line he would have sung in the...

@Peter Wolf...Nice job Peter.  I can tell you are taking your time with this one.  You are getting it together!

@Alex...It sounds to me like you have got it.  Good rhythm and tempo.  The only thing that I would say to change would be to play the bass strings with a lighter touch.  Try...

Hi Jerry,   I saw this term the other day, I think someone said that Sugar Blue plays with a lot of compression.  I did a little searching and got the impression that this is...

Ok guys, you win! The way I was voicing it, the C7#9 didn't sound quite right to me, but when i play it on the lower four strings it sounds better to me. So thanks guys for...

Good job Ben. At exactly 17 seconds on the time code you should roll off of the 4 draw with a bend, slide to the 3 draw then come back to the 4 blow. You leave out the bend and...

dialect......I meant you follow SJ's somewaht mangled syntax for those words and I have heard others try to straighten that mess out so it makes more sense. I was just noting the...

@Corey....thanks....I need to study your version better...the intro I do, I think it's reversed to yours. It's a classic arpeggio from up to down, while what I like in yours is...

Delta Blues Museum (Mike Rugel)  Uncensored History of the Blues- podcast show 13  plays a recording of Skip James from 1928.  "when blues singers talked about the devil they were...

@ Peter Wolf...The guitar is made by Bob Gernandt in Bryson City, NC.  Check him out on the web.  When you are ready, please post a video so we can see where you are at.  I know...

@ Mike...nice work on the intro.  You are keeping it simple and to the point.  Pay closer attention to the rhythm of the riffs....sounds like you putting in an extra beat...

@ Alex...I really dig what you have done with the tune.  I can hear the Skip James influence and also some of you in there too.  I wouldn't change a thing, except to say try...

@daddy ray...what you mean when you say dialect?  Post a video when you get a chance...thanks.

hey nice Alex!

Mike, Gregg Allamn covered this recently...like in 2011...the intro is not uncommon (the minor chords make it rarer)  

@Corey....thanks for teaching us this wonderfull tune!!! I always loved it...It's so unique Skip James style...I'd like in the future to be able to sing the way he does...I love...

I agree with Octavio. This is a C7#9. Kenny solos over this tune in very much a minor mode with the pentatonic minor scale/blues scale, but it's definitely C7#9, which includes the...

Amazing tune.  The intro is absolutely beautiful.  Here's where I am after working on it today.   I feel like I've heard some song that borrowed this intro ... Allman Brothers or...

Duke, I would love to see a lesson or two about how you play a blues in A with the 6/8 feel and with the D7 chord shape at the sixth and seventh frets.....I wrote this to Corey as...

interesting choice to sing the first verse in the dialect if you know what I mean.....I love Skip James' music.

Corey, Little Feat and later Eric Clapton did 44 blues with a more second line thing happening...Clapton with Andy newmark from teh blues tours of the mid90s. Little Feat (with Ry...
