Yes Duke, you *are* the best!

And may I say this is the *best* way to learn.  Killer lessons, go at ones own pace, and personal attention from the likes of Duke, Corey and Jerry.. all for $20 a month.  I hope that this SJ succeeds because this is how *I* want to learn :-D

Here's my second attempt at the head of T-Bone Shuffle.  I am playing all the instruments except the drums.  I am having some trouble with latency in my audio device, but I think I have compensated.

If I gotten the head right, with the right notes at the right beats, then I'll start on a solo.

Hi Peter, Yes you have the right idea for the 1 change. You are a bit behoind the rhythm on the head so I would suggest slowing down the drum machine a bit. It was a little quick anyway. Then of course you would jump to the A string for the 4 chord pattern and on the lead line flat the 3rd note to go with the 4 chord change. This all should help. The song is a tad slower anyway. Good luck, Duke

Hey Duke,

Sorry I'm lagging way behind...

I'm still working my way through T-Bone.  Could you say something about where the beat falls in the T-Bone shuffle.

Here's me playing the Riff and the Kessel pattern.  The drum machine is hitting the Bell and Tom on beat 1.

Am I playing it correctly?

Thanks

Peter

Hi Duke, Excellent Lesson!  Been practicing the head all evening :-D 

Quick clarification on on the Kessel riff. 

In the video you said "starting on the third and going chromatically up".  Did you mean "the second" like this?

Duke,

First I worked on the rythm, got it for the right hand, but the 1 to 4 with the g7th...I break in my rythm pattern.

It took me about 10 minutes, but I finally got the lead/melody down. Now I am going to work on it with the record and see how I do?? Either way, I feel like I have a head start. I love your lessons and ease in teaching. Thanks so much for a great lesson!!

Duke,

As always, a superb lesson. It's one of my signature songs and I've been playing that head wrong . I've boung to the flatted 7th of the 5 chord instead of staying on the opening lick for the head. Now I'm corrected and glad of it.

Thanks again for a great lesson. Looking forward to catching your show next time you come to Maine.

Bob
