Hi Duke .. great advice "Each player should pick what works for himself and use that. Lester Young, one of my all time favorite musicians, once said; A musicians style is made...

My next album, "Wobble Walkin' " has a few spots where I turn off the pickup and chunck rhythm with the bass during a drum solo. 

Yeah man! 78s!My favorite form of sound recording. Listening to music on 78 RPM records through a good tube system with a diamond needle is an experience that cannot be equaled...

This is truly a beautiful song and my favorite version. Love the intro here whic,h chord wise, has nothing to do with song which is great. Most of  the earlier Billie Holiday...

Hi Mike, The thumb thing doesn't work for everyone. It's just an added little accent, certainly not needed for the groove or part. A lot of my little tricks or accents are just a...

Hello Roger, The first time I tried to watch your video it wouldn't play for me. Now it appears to be deleted. Would love to see it. Duke

@Mike Hy Mike, Yes, It would be great if you could upload also something with your acoustic guitar!!! and It's great too to have blues mates...well this is the spirit of sonic...

Thanks Mike. I'll give it a try later today. I believe that I did follow these steps but perhaps the progress bar in step 3 did not get all the way despite waiting 15-20 minutes...

@Corey...Hy corey, thanks again for the feedback. As I was sayin to Mike I still don't feel very comfortable and I have to work a lot with the touch but it's a matter of time...

Hi Roger .. here's a step by step image that will hopefully help.

Hi Roger .. that's the one.  I would upload the .mov file (smaller) 1. choose the file (upper left corner of screen) 2. click upload 3. wait for file to upload (there's a small...

Thanks Mike. I recorded a video on my laptop using a program called Debut. Pretty simple and I saved it on my computer as both AVI and MOV files adn they play just fine on my...

Hi Roger .. I saw that you tried to post a video and had some issues.   Can you tell me a bit about how you're going about it and I can try and help. Thanks! Mike  

  Here's my first attempt at video.

Blues Bunny Bite @ 0:12 on the timecode.  No idea why I did it except that I was really trying to hear both what I wanted to play and what I was playing in my head.  Getting better...

@Allessandro...you are doing it.  You play very well here.  Only thing I would say is the middle section where you speed up takes away from the song.  I suggest taking that part...

@Alessandro .. yes, Corey's touch is great .. I want to try and pick up those dynamics over time as that is what makes the music emotionally strong.  I have an acoustic .. I will...

Hi Roger .. for your laptop .. do you have this SW on it HP MediaSmart Webcam Software .. if so, that should work.  I have Quicktime 7 on my old PC and it only let's me record...

Thanks Mike. I have a laptop. It is an HP, model G72-B27CL Notebook. It came with a good webcam on board- I use it to Skype. It is just over one year old. I am not aware of any...

Hi Roger .. good question.  I don't think Quicktime will work with the PC for recording a video (I use Quicktime on a Mac).  Your PC or webcam likely already came with software to...

Mike, Is Quicktime Pro 7 the only software needed to record and post my video to Sonic Junction? I have a PC. Thanks in advance for the help.   Roger

Hy Mike and Bruno...thank you so much for your kind words!!! You're too generous,my blues mates!!! To be honest I've been working on this tune (corey's version) for some months but...

@alessandro: sounds awesome!

Hey Alessandro .. AWESOME !!   You got the groove, lead lines and singing together.  I'm still working on getting the groove and licks to flow.  Very cool to see how far you've...

hy Corey thank you for the critics. :) I'll try to slow down that b section. I need to be more patient, I suppose!!! :))) Another problem I have is that in general I tend to speed...

@Corey .. cool, thanks for the advice.  I will take it easier on the E string .. it's a habit, I alway like bending that G on the E string.

@ Allessandro...good job.  Dig the tune.  I would say slow down that B section until is sounds right.  I can hear what you want to do...just give your self some time and it will...

Hy corey here's my second upload....It's not Everybody ought to change but Mississippi blues..It's a tune that I love and I've been practicing it only by one month. In this tune I...

Hy Corey, here is my attempt with catfish blues...Do you have any suggestions (also about the singing)? Sorry for my bad italian pronunciation :DDD      

Hi All I have small hands and am having trouble with the 13th chords where you wrap around your thumb.  I can kind of play them with the same fingering as Duke .. but am also...
