Hi Alex .. I fixed your YouTube video issue.  We need just the plain link for it to work.  YouTube sometimes has some extra items in the URL that contain more information.  We can...

here's the link..I don't know why it doesn't work  

Corey...thanks!! :) Just a question...when you say that I'm hitting also other strings you mean also when I'm just playin the melody? In general  think it' always my same problem...

Good question Mario, obviously it depends on the song and the players. Soimetimes doubling the line is cool like Fuzz jones did with the 70s muddy Waters Band but often the older...

Hi Duke, great stuff!   Regarding the bassline at the beginning of the lesson, what approach do you like a bass player to follow so it complements what you do?  Do you like it when...

@Alex...thanks for posting video.  I think you should try changing how you hold the neck so that your thumb is behind it and not gripping it.  Also keep working on isolating the...

@Corey....I tried the slowest I could...It's the melody line...just to show if  I'm catching the right notes..Is it better now the way I'm holding the slide?..I found that is...

Hi David .. thanks!  Glad we got it fixed.  So everyone knows, Safari needs the latest version of Flash to record video.  Have a great weekend everyone!

Howdy Folks! I hope you're ready to dig in to some lowdown blues in E this week. In last weeks lesson we went over some rhythm and some lines playing on the top strings while...

Juke 3rd Chorus. A harp in key of E. Remember it's always helpful to first sing what you're trying to play. These slowed down choruses will help you hear the correct notes and...

Hi Jerry While I won't pretend that I can play all of this great song well, I can kind of play most of it okay with the exception of the quick back and forth phrase that Sonny Boy...

That's helpful, Jerry.  Thanks.  I'm gonna revisit the lessons, as well as work on some melodies on the low end of the harp to get comfortable nailing the bends, before trying to...

Thanks for coming out to Mashpee! Keep working on the basic lessons, especially the synchopating chords. Getting a good rhythmic flow is important. You've got some control of your...

Hi Duke, today I've practiced more on your lesson....Here's the new video. I start tryin to reproduce the lick you showed us and after I added my new version of Driftin blues which...

Hi Jerry, Great to hear you and your trio on Friday night in Mashpee, and chat during your break.  Here's my attempt at the 2nd position boogie lesson (slowed down as in your...

Hi All, Here's a quick prototype of Boom, Boom by Little Walter.   http://sonic-junction.com/pages/10-boom-boom-out-go-the-lights Feedback and thoughts apprecaited!  

Thank you Duke...Most of all it's Corey's merit. We did something really similar in his version of catfish blues. Today I practiced again payin more attention on bending..I'm not...

Hi Wildwilli, Thanks, there will be lots more on Chicago style blues coming up! Duke

Hi Alex, Great job! You're got the feeling and the phrasing happening! Now my only suggesting is that you only use that 9th chord in the position I demonstrated it in. I haven't...

I could have mis-heard him, too.  He was telling a story about the lead singer in the band he was with getting him out of trouble with the police after a Canadian border crossing...

@Corey...I was telling Mike the same thing :))...Right now It's difficoult for me to catch the slide the way you do...I've never seen it before but I think it's better too...I can...

@ Alex...thanks for uploading.  Try playing the lines much more slowly and pay extra attention to slide control.  I can hear that sometimes the slide is hitting notes that...

@Mike....thanks!!!!! The most challenging thing for me is to make that kind of ending sound live as much as possible...also the vibrato is difficoult and I still have problems in...

@ Mike...will do.  Thanks for the suggestion.  Good luck with it...

It's possible I suppose, but I don't recognize his name.

@Alex .. you sound GREAT !  I'm going to post a video in a day or two.  Fun seeing you play it.

Jerry,  I just wanted to ask if you are familiar with a drummer by the name of Russ Kammerer?  He plays now with a friend of mine, Brian Lee (Brian Lee and the Orbiters), but has...

@Corey.....here's my video...I haven't practiced this tune a lot....I focused my attention more on Catfish and Everybody...Could you take a look at Catfishblues lesson4/Everybody...

@Duke...here's my attemp with Chicago blues 1...I love that chord when you put the 9th..Is this the way do I have to call it..I'm ignorant in music theory!! I don't have an...

@Corey....Here's Everybody ought to change....I've also noticed that this tune is quite similar to Stop Breakin Down of Robert Johnson...Then I tried to throw in that song the...
