Bill - this is the best reply I cold have asked for - you are exactly right. It's very much like a language that way. When you learn how to put words and parts of speech together...

Hi Dennis, Thanks for your response.  I'm starting to get it I think.  It seems like theory is more of way to codify and communicate a relationship of notes being played that give...

Cool!! You did sneak a little of Tony's B part in there ;)

Yes, being in the Key of F means F is the root. All different styles of music use different parts of the scale to get their type of sound, so notes that work in traditional blues...

Hi Dennis, So here are some theory questions. Does being in the key of F just mean that the root note is F? I guess my main question is, what determines which notes "work" or...

Hello All, This week I’m going to share an arrangement that I came up with for Last Thing On My Mind. The goal here was to use the capo to encourage myself to find different...

    Well, after about 20 takes and quite a few expletives, I got this far!  Chris this lesson is amazing - I've been trying to get to grips with this version of the tune...

Here we will learn how to get the most out of the chords we have learned, by fingerpicking. Pay special attention to your thumb and the alternating bass line and make that yours...

Hi Harpsters - For this week we tackle the second chorus of my Two-Way Boogie. I pay particular attention to several things, one of them being my sharp articulation and staccato...

Hey Duke! BTW, I'm feeling great; all is going well. Anyway, here's my take on this. Hope you like it! Hope you have a wonderful holiday and happy new year. Here's to 2020. Bruce...

Why can't I download the iPhone App in Taiwan? I'm a USA citizen traveling here for the next 2 years and the AppStore says my region is not supported..

Hi !! is there a backing track ??

You are very welcome! 

You are very welcome! 

As far as the Joe Turner record, there's nothing quite like it that I'm aware of. As for the Johnny Hodges small band sessions, that is some of my favorite music ever. Tunes like...

Cool!

Cool!

Maybe I'll have to call Paul in to show is his part!

PS I wanted to share this with you. Wrote and recorded a Christmas song. Sharing with you because I couldn't play a note of this if it wasn't for you! Hope you like it - very merry...

Hi Duke - thanks for this, love this tune (and really LOVE the duo version with you and Paul). As ever here's my first cut for any feedback : )

There's a story I heard about Bix where the publisher was trying to get a transcription of him playing "In a Mist", but Bix couldn't stop himself from improvising every time he got...

We will learn the chords and their progression in this first lesson. Take your time learning the chords and how they move together. Don't worry about the fingerpicking at this...
