Hi Folks, This weeks lesson is working on soloing on the T-Bone blues classic "Stormy Monday." We will be working on a solo chorus that employs most of T-Bones main signature ideas...

@ Douglas...thanks for your comments. Feel free to post a video so I can see how it is going.

Hi Corey Really enjoying this tune!  I'm getting the main riff and beginning riff down.  What would really help me for the next lesson is for you to play and break down one full...

Hi Paul, Yes I got the audio. Yes, the slide down and rake you are doing is correct. The only difference is you are faster than me! you sound very good and I hope you join up with...

Duke this stuff is just what I have been looking for! I have books,DVDs,CDs but this lesson forum and the way you teach just clicks. I have been a fan for some time now and can't...

Hi Jerry,              You knew Walter Horton, and I love the performance of, "Hoochie Coochie Man" you both played on "I'm Ready".  One of Walter's great harmonica playing...

Hi Thanks for that.Paul Butterfield is a longtime favourite.i am in exulted company.  

Jerry What a great song - Louis Jordan and his band are terrific!  I've been aware of it through the Muddy Waters version on Hootchie Coochie Live.  Were you the harp player on...

Everyone has his personal likes and dislikes.  For me, the choice of songs for lessons has been great - Sonny Boy I, Little Walter, Sonny Boy II, a little Jimmy Reed, and so on...

Fantastic!! I have pieces, but not the whole song together. Thanks for the groove and whole picture!  

Thanks, Corey..I now have hope that I can sneak in on some of my acoustic blues friends with a hope they will play with me. A lot of work to be done on my part, but that's cool. I...

Thanks, Duke!!! Your info is invaluable for me. Guides me thru and into more creative and entertaining guitar work. Since I am a work in progress, so is my ear. Have a great...

daddyray, yes I did throw in a Blues after hours lick mistakenly. BUSTED! Pee wee Crayton was such a disciple of T-Bone that I sometimes mix their licks up. Shame on me! Duke 

Hey Mike glad you are digging it! Duke

Hi Duke .. love the lesson!  I've always messed around with this song, but never got it.  Now I do @Daddyray .. funny, I heard some of those Blues After Hours licks too.  I felt...

daddyray, Thank you, That stretch on the 13th chord can be a bit tough on a long scale guitar that's for sure. Duke 

Thanks Rick, T-Bone is my man. Enjoy the lessons 

cool..thanks Duke, I can grab me some licks offa this one. I caught the licks outta Blues After Hours in there. I want to get my time right for the pinkie lick (6:56)..I can sort...

Caledonia: An R&B classic originally done by Louis Jordan and his Tympani Five. This song has been performed and recorded by many artists. Here I show you how I play the "Head."...

@Ben & Rich ... Hey Guys.  I totally agree that getting it in your head is the way to go.  After hearing Jerry talk about it I know do it on guitar and it has worked wonders for my...

Hi Folks, This week we start on T-Bone Walker style slow blues. On our first lesson I discuss and demonstrate the elements that make up T-Bones style like, the chords he plays, his...

Wheww... This takes some practice... It's difficult to recognize when the right notes are playing as my slap down is a little forced so I'm getting mixed results.  Being able to...

@Roger...thanks for posting.  I see you are getting there.  You need to check out the form of the tune, which doesn't change.  There are four sections of the song, each separated...

 I really enjoyed this....some of the scalar things require me to think for myself (never a good i dea!! ; ) but this set of lessons is really nice...thanks Duke 

Hi Roger, Very good! I like the way you play the melody and although you have changed the ending part, it fits perfectly with chords. Looking forward to hearing you solo on it...

I thnk I am going to get a tube amp - at this point, mainly for practice and to play at some low key jams.  I currently have a Pignose 30 which I like, but want a tube amp also.  I...
