I'm working on it and will try to post a video later this week. This is the real deal. Thanks for teaching us!

Thanks for pointing me to this lesson, Duke. The subs are really nice. I have wondered what the piano behind Tiny was doing and certainly some of these must subs be in there.

With respect to soloing, your comment about immersion confirms my suspicions. I have learned six of his solos note for note and probably need to learn six more plus some from aother guys. The problem is these solos are so involved I can only hold a small number in my head.

Great site. I have been exploring Corey's side too. It's is wonderful.

Thanks Mike. Here is a link to his group, Cats in the Fiddle  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEQ9Sz0UCl8

He played awesome up tempo I IV V tunes, slow blues (perfectly) and rhythm changes based numbers. The video you found is the best.

Hi Duke

This is a great site and I hope word gets out about it. I will tell my friends.

A few years ago I heard the sounds of Tiny Grimes. Many of his tunes are based on rhythm changes, the form of which facinates me. I have been somewhat succesful soloing over the B parts but am stuck coming up with decent sounding ideas ove the A parts. The last part of the A parts seems to be something like an 8 bar blues (I think). I have learned a number of his songs note for note but the light hasn't gone off yet. Do you have any advice regarding the best way to understand what he is thinking?
