Hi Peter, Yes, you have the turn around and the 5 change correct. enjoy! Duke 

Very good!!Like Boyd same for Mystery will be great!!   Merci, Denis

Hi Jerry Interesting that I didn’t hear those 4 bends when I was first learning the song on my own  -- perhaps growing up listening mostly to folk, pop and some rock (and only the...

Jerry - I think is a great part of your overall lesson, letting us take what we've learned and do what we can without the crutch of your harmonica backing us up.  Not to say I...

Markod, That is something I can help you with and will put it on my list of upcoming lessons. Thanks, Duke

Duke   I really love these lessons. One thing I would like to work on is incorporating the one six two five turnaround in a jazz/blues song such as Route 66. I know the chords...

really good and wondering if you could make a track like this for mystery train song. thanks

Very, very nice.  (How about an MP3 of that?) Here's a version by the Peter Green Splinter Group (Peter Green replaced Eric Clapton in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, and was the...

@daddyray...I think that you have a nice version going here.  No need to be nervous, just do your thing and take your time and the change that you want to see will come.  Try...

@ Alex...this sounds nice.  I think you got it.  Now try singing.  Don't worry about how you sound.  I try and follow the example of little children when they play music...they...

@ Mike...good to hear you trying to sing.  It's never too late to learn something new.  Do your best to try and play the bass at the same time as you are playing the melody riff...

Hi Fellow guitarists, For this weeks lesson we work on the head or theme to Chitlens Con Carne. It is a very simple melody that is straight out of the pentatonic blues box on the...

@Mike...you are the man!!!!! :DDDDD...great video...I like it and I like the timber of your voice which is in my opinion the most important thing for a singer...I mean on the rest...

WildWillie, Thank You! Mike suggested it and indeed it is the perfect groove song for my lessons. Duke

Hi DaddyRay, That guitar is a James W Murphy archtop custom made for me. It is the best archtop I have ever played, and I have owned Stromburgs, D'Angelicos, Epiphone Deluxes...

Hi Corey, here's where I am with 44 Blues.   I try to sing on this one.  I'm not a singer at all, but would love to learn.  I know it's probably a long, long road for me ... but...

Thanks Mike, I purposely varied the style of chording to show some minor variations of it. Yes, my favorite musical thing in chords is is close voicings where one or two notes...

@Corey....no worries!!! When you have time, we are here...I knew you were in Africa :) Now  We're waiting for you here in Sardinia. We are all so excited!!!!I'm happy that finally...

Corey, I know and love Wolf's version best...I think I have him doing it live as well.. I have seen Jody Williams do it around chicago (the band was a mess though) and I like...

@ daddy ray...sounds good. I coulndt see but a few seconds because i am watching on my phone in kigali airport and internet is really slow. You got your own way of doing it. All I...

@Mike...I'm not a singer too!!!! :DD...I try but I should study more and also the pronunciation is a big handicap for me which is normal because english is not my mother language...

@ DaddyRay .. sounds great!  I like your right hand technique ... and the tone of your guitar sounds really good @ Alex .. awesome!  I like you're singing on this one ... great to...

duke, pardon me but what is that guitar?..it looks and sound similar to my 50s Silvertone which I dug up in a pawn shop in chicago. that good stiff archtop with a single PU in it
