Hi there. El Canario from your Nueva York album is such a beautiful and vibrant song. I would love to learn how to play it on acoustic guitar. I see it on your song list here but...

  I would love to hear / see a lesson from Chris on this Mark Simos tune. :)

I took on this piece a couple of months ago. When I first heard it my jaw dropped. I think I dropped a few swear words actually.  I also skipped the intro and focused on the main...

Ever since being introduced to Norman's playing (by you) a couple of years ago, I have completely fallen in love with his style of picking. He makes the melody sound so simple all...

Hi Tomi - Teaching here on Sonic Junction has been a learning experience for me too. Some of what I've learned is that there're a few things I that I do unconsciously, that I was...

That's great! That's exactly what I was hoping for with this lesson. It's a great beginning for learning to apply different types of chord support, at different volumes, to almost...

That's exactly the lesson I need. I have a decent harp tone, some techniques but I still feel playing like an emulator or a bad pianola. I'm rediscovering the joy of breathing...

Hi Duke, Love it.... cant wait till May!!  

Hey Bill !! thanks for the answer and yeah ?!! why not try it ??. though it s not an easy one ... I didn t try it yet but ... I will , anyways is just that I read so many good...

Hi Andre, I'm not so good with the technology.  Honestly, though, I doubt there's that much to learn from my playing.  I do think a lot of Rick's style is rubbing off on me.  I...

Oh yeah.  I had a question.  You mention at about 9:45 about getting an aggressive sound but how you don't want the harp to stick.  Is it blowing or drawing too hard that makes the...

Hi Bill !! if it s possible ?? I d like to ear you once ... with all the work you put into all of these songs since a lot of time that i m reading your comments ... anyway ... if...

Hey Rick, Not that the previous verses were a breeze but I definitely find this kind of thing challenging.  When a phrase stops and leaves a big silence hanging it really draws...

 Thanks Duke

Hello Folks, This week we have a track for you to play along with of my arrangement of Careless Love. So you play the melody in Bb first. Then there are two choruses of guitar...

We're re-issuing one of Corey's most popular lessons with re-mastered video and updated sheet music. From Corey: In this lesson I talk about how to play the bass riff and the...

Hey Sonic Junction - Rick Estrin, back again, this time with verse four of my take on Cotton's "Lightnin".  We didn't leave a lot of space in verse three, so in this verse, for...

Hi Torgeir, You know – I just always bar everything when I do bar chords. I don't really know why. I think I've picked up a lot of bad habits over the years. I'll give it a try...

I don't know if this is relevant, but do you notice that your index finger is all the way up on your sixht string? Maybe if you place your index on your bass notes (b and c#...

Hey Chris, So this is...left hand related. There's a song I've been playing...probably since I was, like 16. But I've never really found a comfortable way to switch between two of...

Hi John, thank you for the suggestion! I do improvise quite a lot when playing rhythm and I think that it would be a great topic for discussion.    

Hi Chris - it's been awhile since I uploaded anything so I figured I'd show you my progress with Angeleine the Baker. It's not note for note with the way you taught us but it's...

Hi Corey! I posted this video almost five years ago and I just saw it now that you commented on it! sorry I am so late! Thank you so much!  I was away fro sonic junction for a...

@Carlos...you have the basic riffs together and you play them comfortably.  I can hear that you also have your own style, which is nice.  And thanks for signing confidently...many...

HI Rick !! I d like to know your comments ... it s not fluent yet ... and I m trying to make a little vibrato at the end of the notes ... not there yet !! thanks  André
