Hi Chris, I've been playing for a long time and i've always been fancinated by the roll of rythmn guitar in a band and always adopted that roll gladly whenever possible. Your...

Great !

Happy new year Duke! Looking forward to this one - and thanks for the nudge to dust off my Duanne Eddy records! Really good to be looking into that style, thanks : )

Hello Folks, We are starting a great new set of lessons this week on a classic song. Careless Love, often credited to WC Handy and it's a beautiful but simple timeless melody that...

Hello Everyone! I hope your holidays have been happy and restful! In this week’s lesson we will recap the previous week’s lesson re: qualities of intervals relative to the root....

Hello Sonic Harpers! This week we wrap up my Boogie On The I jam, and there is a lot of riffing going on in this final section. Taking it home as we connect back even more with...

Here we will focus on the melody, which is very simple but can be deceptive to get right. I suggest using only your index finger to pick out the melody. I find that if I use two...

despite a bad case of flu,this is my best effort on "hard way to go"...

Great lesson. Thanks Duke.

Nice  

In this lesson we learn the chords and the bass line. I suggest first picking through the bassline first (while holding the chord shapes) to learn it well. Take a lot of time in...

Hi Friends, Here we go this week with a track for T-Bone's Hard Way. The intro and outro are a rumba feel then it swings during the solo. There is actually one less chorus than I...

Wow Andre, I really like your tongue switch technique!!

Thank you Larry !! English is not my first language and i m not sure to really understand the "essence" of your comment ... I understand that I have to play with less effort and I...

Thank you Rick !! I will pay close attention on the 3rd hole 

Pretty good, Andre. I don't know how long you've been at this, but it is not unusual for students to try "just a little too hard" or use "just a little bit too much force" in their...

Hey Andre - Great job overall! You really memorized all those verses, and you're getting a real good tone in general. The only problem is, I think you might be using too much...

Hi Rick and others !! any comments ??

Hi Robert, you can use either one. They’re functionally exactly the same. The 7th just adds a bit of color and tension that the regular A doesn’t have. 

Hey Chris, So last time I looked at this song and lesson series there was a part I just literally couldn't reach. Now...coincidentally I happened upon a guitar that was a smaller...
