Hi Rich .. OK, sounds good.   If you let me know the timecodes, I can notetate some of them.   I wouldn't mind learning some of those myself!

Well Mike, I have to admit, I've been try to avoid this one. The reason is that I arranged it, recorded it and totally forgot it and only played it once and did 1 take of it. If...

Cookin' is next folks with a track to play to  at several different tempos!  

Hi Slim, Yes Jumpin the Blues is a great tune and I arranged the head in a simple chord melody with Brass sections type answers. I will most likely teach this after Cookin which is...

Hi Slim66 .. is this the tune you are talking about?

Thanks Mike! That will really help me.

Duke    I just can't get enough of that sound in Blues A Rama lesson 1. I really want to pick that up. Problem is I'm having a hard time figuring out how your playing some of it....

Duke,      I'd love you to explore this tune.  The head is very interesting; I believe you do that move with the picking hand that simulates the trumpet mute moving on and off the...

I'm a fan of that tune as well.

Hi Duke .. I really love this lesson and the series.  I don't usually start with the melody when I solo .. which is probably a big mistake.  I used the backing tracking on Lesson 4...

@brianjfa  Yes the arrow going up means bending the notes and the 1/4, 1/2 etc. is how much.  Althought we capture it as best we can, it's best to really listen intenting on the...

Brianjfa, Since I do not do the notation I would have to refer you to Mike. But I believe we are taking quater and half tone bends here. Enjoy!
