My Next set of lessons are on the T-Bone Walker classic T-Bone Shuffle. A great tune with a great "head" or theme. This one should be lots of fun!

Hey Rick, Nice take on T-Bone! I  like how you used the turn around from Two Bones and a pick for a slow blues turn around. Nice pickin'! Duke

I think the best bandmate shows up on time, listens to the music and knows how to share with and support the other players.

Hi Guys ... video issue is fixed.  The URL had too many YouTube tracking parameters.  We will update out software to take these out in the future. Great playing Rick!

Hi Rick, I tried a few times but couldn't get your video to play. Maybe consult Mike about it and he most likely can help. Duke

Hi Doug, For the most part the repetition of working on it consistintly is the thing that will make light bulbs go off from time to time and that's when you know you are really...

Duke! You are my hero. How about a lesson on Hollywood Fats and his Rock This House? You're such a fantastic teacher and player.

Hot Cha: originally done on sax by Junior Walker and the All-Stars in the key of Bb. You'd need an Eb harp to play along with the original. I demonstrate it in the key of F on a Bb...

Really good job Ben! You're hearing it correctly and the bends and holes you reference are correct.The bends you play on the 3rd hole are sometimes right on pitch and othertimes...
409 thumb Mike caren added to a forum topic: My Attempt Playing Kidney Stew
Hi Ben ... SWEET !! I like how you are moving with the music and your low end tone.  The slide into the note around 0:33 is cool.  The more I watch Jerry, the more I realize how...

Hi Jerry.  Here’s my attempt at the Kidney Stew head -- from the May 17th lesson.  I’m curious to get any feedback on pitch, tone, rhythm, etc.  If my hearing is accurate, the five...

That sounds like a messy situation Jerry. It is a shame if you guys didn't get paid for the album (I am guessing with a bootleg that would be the case). I still have to say I like...
103 thumb Jerry portnoy left a comment on: Caledonia
Yeah, that's a bootleg. The Polish authorities lied to Muddy. It was never supposed to be released in any commercial form and, to tell the truth, I wish it hadn't.
