Hi Mario, The rhythm parts for these styles, considering what I am playing here on the lessons, would be either a simple Jimmy Reed rhythm or double the bass line. Another thing...

Duke, What sort of rhythm guitar patterns would you play that complement Brad's lines? Thanks in advance, Mario  

@Alex...sounding good.  i would say that you got it.  only thing i would suggest is working on the tempo and tightening up the rhythms   for catfish...this sounds good too.  just...

@ daddyray...thanks for leaving a comment.  looking forward to hearing more from you.  be well.

I always wanted to learn some of the Bobby Timmons' songs that he did with Art Blakey and the messenegers. Dat Dere, Moanin and so on. 

this is nice stuff..thanks. I know the main riff as a Mance thing and the slide D7 shaped A chord from Robert Johnson of course.  ..the filligre across the 4 chord is cool. I have...

this was Pres's last performance.....I have learned a ton of licks from trombone players like Vic and Fred Welsey. Those lines like harp lines are reasonably easy to translate to...

Great Daddyray! glad to be of service. enjoy, Duke Robillard

Thanks Duke...just ran through the whole series. Interesting to see what I had been playing differently than you do and besides the trouble of UNlearning my lines I can have some...

Mike I think the interview went good....Now I'm waiting for the response of the speaker of the radio....let's see what happens..I think I'm starting to have an idea of how to make...

Wow .. Alex, you are getting the brushes!  Ahead of me as usual.  Love the slap to on Catfish!   Thanks for spreading the word!!  Let us know how the interview goes!!

Hy Jeff...welcome here on sonic Junction....:)

@corey....my last attempt with high fever blues.sorry for the ending.I know it's wrong..Forget about it..plus there is still one vibrato..It's stronger than me! :D....and just a...

I am having a good deal of difficulty producing a tight seal with mu hands around my harp.  Let me preface this by mentioning tat my finger are extremely difficult to move around...

@Corey....thanks for the comment in HFB lesson 1....I was about to ask exacly what you explain here in the lesson...wonderfull!!!!! :D I'll try to review that thing about avoiding...

Thanks Everyone, I'm glad you are enjoying these lessons with Brad. We will do more in the future. I let Brad know you're enjoying these! Duke

Even though I have been playing professionally since 1994, there areCorey Harris fans out there who have followed my music but who often get confused whenever my band is onstage...

@ Alex -- Sounds good Alex.  I would suggest leaving out the vibrato on this tune.  I think it sounds better without it.  Check what you are doing on the four chord (F) when you...

@ Mike...I can see that you made a lot of progress between Apr. 9 and Apr. 11 postings.  I would say pay close attention to the the notes you play on the high e string that begins...

Another great lesson.BRILLIANT. Thanks Brad, thanks Duke. I can´t wait for the shuffle lesson next week. This stuff should be taught at schools...

Juke 6th Chorus. A relatively simple chorus with no acrobatics, jumps or tricky riffs. As always, timing and tone rule. Slowly increase your speed toward the original as you...

Jack Myers indeed!   I never knew who he was, but alway loved Buddy Guy's A Man and the Blues ... especially One Room Country Shack.  Now I know the story.  Love it!  Thanks Brad...

Hello Folks, for this weeks lesson we are continuing on with the Chicago blues with bass, only this time we are switching over to electric bass guitar as we show examples of some...

When I was with Muddy we were playing the Bottom Line in NYC and had a sold out show. His manager told him that Bob Dylan was in the house, and wanted to join Muddy onstage. Muddy...

I think I understand what you're saying about not being specific in time. With enough listening and playing along with records it just becomes intuitive knowing where the changes...

Some things are in specific time and some aren't but there is almost always away to count it out to understand it. Sometimes moving from one note to the next will not always be one...

Thanks lterenzi. I feel like Bigfoot on the guitar sometimes! LOL

Hey Bill... maybe record yourself counting beats and just start playing along. Or download a metronome (or you may have one) and start counting along. One thing you dont want to do...

Thanks Mike. That will help Specifically, I struggle with knowing what constitutes 1 beat. When you play a straight shuffle the beats seem to be easily recognizable. But if you...
