Jesus Just Left Chicago lesson will come out tomorrow morning! Had a great time learning this one. It has a dropped A string tuning. Drop to G. It helps you get some real swampy vibes. Billy Gibbons is a master at that voodoo stuff. :) He was friends with the Voodoo Chile, after all. Friday is gonna be 7 songs from Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti album. Saturday is gonna be 3 songs by The Eagles (featuring Hotel California - all the sweet acoustic fingerpicking parts) Sunday is looking like either a new one (I'll do a poll!) or AC/DC 5 songs or Jethro Tull 5 songs. Thanks for watching!!!

I just made all of my band's songs available for free download! 39 songs! I started my band Harmonious Junk when I was in James Brown's Soul Generals, touring the world with the Godfather of Soul and his funky ensemble. I was still in the band when I released the first album, Space Cadet. A few years later came Too Cocky In Nagasaki, which featured Fred Thomas of the JBs and James Brown Band, and some songwriting with JB's band members. The 3rd album, Sirens and Pipers followed, and after many years without a release, in 2024 I dropped 5 studio singles and 3 live band tracks. All at the website for free for the first time! No strings attached. Enjoy!
