At 7:36 you do some kind of of little stutter in the baseline (in the A to the E walk of the turnaround). I can't for the life of me figure out how you do it. Even with slowing it down. That is the coolest little effect!!!! It seems like there's a couple brushes and a mute in there?
Have to leave the "civilized" world in a couple weeks for a long while (disappearing into the mountains for work until the fall). I have to sign off sonicjunction until then, and can't wait to pick back up. Thank you so much again for the lessons. I'm finally going somewhere with guitar!
I can polish this song up more, but was just excited and wanted to post my progress before signing off. See you in autumn~
Greetings Joe. Sounds good and thanks for posting. Yes you are getting somewhere with the guitar for sure here. Your playing sounds nice and relaxed and the tempo and pulse is good. I think you just need to work a little more on the middle part and get more comfortable with it. Listen to the little variations in the tune and use them sparingly like spice...but use them!
When you sing, try singing out your words instead of cutting them short. I know that when we play guitar that happens when we are learning a song but with practice that can be overcome. Sing through every phrase and give every word rhythm and attention. Nice work. Enjoy your time in the mountains. Plenty of time ot really dig in to the guitar. Thanks for posting. Honor!
I've got a computer that is trying its hardest to die, but I've put it on life support and keep loving it one-way, despite its best efforts. Sorry for the lag:(
I started out with Catfish, but hadn't scrolled all the way down on your tracks. Skip is hands down my favorite and your interpretation is unbelievable. This is where I'm at after a week. I can stomp to it too, but singing all the verses is where I'm headed. Don't have the tune dialed enough to carry the words yet. I know I need to speed up the solo a bit and get the transition into it smoother. I'll work on that.
Thanks Corey. This is trully an honor to follow your lead. I have big-big-respect for your art!!!

Thanks for you comments and for posting a video Joe. You have a very relaxed approach and good posture and your guitar sounds nice. It seems like you have got a pretty good handle on the line except for 1) the end lick on the 5 chord that you play with the A string is different than how I play it. I wasn't sure if that was intentional or not. Listen again to Skip or my version.... 2) the lick played on the B string is also a little different. Listen closely to how it is different from how I do it...I bend the string sometimes there, in the main body of the lick. Also pay attention to your tempo or the pulse of the tune and that will solidify your effect. Nice work and thank you.
Corey~ Man, you play so smooth. It's truly an honor to watch/listen to you. Thanks for sharing your gift!
With the drones, I don't think I have fat fingers, but I have a hard time not muting the open string of the drone. My guitar's neck is kind of thin, so maybe that's the problem? I've played with trying to use my pinky (it's on the second riff intro slide), but that seems like a tedious trick to get that string to ring. Thoughts?
Again, what an honor. You're the reason I got on this site. Thank you!
Thanks for coming to the site. Yes could be the guitar neck or maybe just the way you are arching your wrist. It would be easier for me to say if I could see it live. Keep working on it and you will get there. Maybe try posting a video so I could see and hear your progress. Honor.

Greetings Joe...yes that's right...it is a brush with a slight mute. When I brush I am using my index finger....

I'll prove I don't have fat fingers with picture if need be:)
