Hey Duke! I wanted to run this by you to see if I've got the timing correct in the bridge. I'm playing the rhythm as indicated in the score on the first lesson, so hopefully he...

 I can only hold the harp with one hand because of a disability.  Any hints on how to most effectively attack the wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah on the V chord change without being able...

In this video we do a short review of the first lesson. We also discuss some of the important chords and licks to play when singing the song. Take your time with this so that you...

Hello Friends this week we are working on soloing on Robbin's Nest. I display many riffs and ideas for playing on this tune and give you a lot of choices plus a transcribed solo to...

Here's a shot at this great tune. thanks for the feedback.

here's my go at this song. got a cold so the singing's not the best, but whatever. looking forward to your comments please.

Thanks for the reply on mississipi valley, I wasn't really aware that I always used the third when playing alternate bass! I have practized this picking style for about three...

Another wonderful song! Dan, sure hope you're having fun touring & making music, and sure hope you'll get back to SJ to give us another lesson or two! Regards, Jay

Nasty lyrics! A female singer friend suggests keeping the number of songs involving snakes to one per performance 😉

Thanks, Gordi - I'm real glad you enjoyed the series. The little things, the nuances and subtleties, can certainly make a big difference in the overall effect.

Hey, Sonic Junction. This week we're doing the last vocal verse, and the first half of the outro verse. The harp on the vocal verse is pretty much stuff we already went through...

Kip, thanks so much for this thoughtful comment! I think you hit the nail on the head when you wrote,"when I hear the word 'IMPROVISE' in a sentence such as, 'How in the world does...
