I need insight with this on how to move forward as I've given it plenty of practice-time and well it's not where I want it to be.

: ) thanks for the Houston Person album tip, just arrived today. How about a lesson on Billy Butler's take of 'Hard Times'?

Hi Chris, Actually I think it was both, but I've changed strings now to 12-53. I normally use medium 13-56 which I like a lot, but I have very high action on my Martin, but I...

Hi Enslah,  Just to clarify your question: is it your right or left wrist that is getting tired?

Thank you, Alan - Cotton was a real original. I think he got overlooked and forgotten to an extent after he lost his voice, but in his prime, he was a force of nature. His style...

Hey Chris, I love your rhytm explanations a lot. I also love this solo of yours. Pretty hard to do the 4 chord rhythm and the backward roll though. Still trying to get rid of...
