Beautiful Duke!  I swear I can hear some New Orleans Jazz in some of the Charlie Christian riffs.  That last descending riff in particular.  Great stuff.

Hi Steve --- the chord chart is for the Kansas City style of How Long Blues.  The key word here is "style."  What you find in jazz and blues is that you can play the same song many different ways.  

Hope that helps and enjoy Duke!

Great song Duke!  I really like your solo from the After Hours Swing Session.  Your band sounds great too.  Clarinet and Sax solos are awesome and I love the "feel" of the drums.

Absolutely beautiful!!  Made my day.  I love how you mix swing and bluesly lines.  

Cool transition / chord line around 1:22 --- I only wish the video was better.  We're you using the webcam recorder?

Hi Joe --- Rick is playing an A Harmonica in the Key of E.  He's playing cross-harp.  The song is in the Key of E --- but the harmonica being used in an A Harmonica.

Hope that helps and enjoy Rick!

Hi Corey --- here's where I'm at with the tune.  It's really fun.  

I still need to clean things up --- and add in the variations on the V (which are very cool).  Thanks in advance for the thoughts and feedback.

Hi Corey --- I love this tune!!  Thanks for teaching it.  I'm finally starting to get comfortable with the slide.  It's cool because you can really give the notes a vocal / organic quality once it starts to feel natural.  

I'll post a video soon, but just wanted to say thanks and let you know how much I'm enjoying it.  All the best.
