Thanks Jerry (re: an Ab being useful).  Rich

An Ab would be very useful especially if you play with horn players. This will allow you to play in second position in the key of Eb (a common key for horns). I use this on...

This is my favorite version, mainly because of the harp.

We're working on a YouTube video looper ... so you can loop certain sections of a video to get a riff or solo fixed in your mind ... and also practice along with.   Imagine if you...

Thanks Mike. It looks very simple. Can't wait to try it out this evening.

@Mike...I would suggest using the heel of your hand to dampen out any extra noises from the guitar.  I would also suggest that you play scales with the slide on every string, major...

@Rich G...welcome to sonic junction and thanks for checking out my lessons.  Have you seen the Les Blank film about Mance Lipscomb?  I think it is called "A Life Well Spent."...

@ Alex...I like to use 0.12 strings.  I don't think it matters who makes them...but I use D'Addario.  If you like 0.13 then stick with that.  I think that bronze strings are...
