David:

You managed to provide various grooves to our study songs and solo studies. This has been useful. Would you ever consider providing a video lesson just soley focused on groove types and how to approach them? This would be good when playing with a band. If they call out a groove we will be able to recognize it and start strategizing licks.

Thanks

Brian

Hello Brian. Here is the lesson: http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/performance_training_groove You approach these grooves by applying the licks and choruses you've learned in your study songs that use these same grooves.

You definitely got it all covered. So much good stuff on the site to explore, got to spend more timing digging around. This is just what I was looking for and then some. I need to set aside some time to go through it.

Thanks
