Hi David,

Is there a lesson where you show how to play the riffs in each of his solos after the initial warble, the techniques SB2 is noted for?  

Thanks,

Dave Prez

Hello Dave. I'm sorry,

Hello Dave. I'm sorry, unfortunately I'm not able to teach copyrighted material on the site. In my lessons I teach all of the techniques he utilizes in these two solos, so by the time you complete Bending Study 5 and Tongue Blocking Study 5 you'll hear what's going on in those solos. Sorry that I can't be of further help.

Dave Prez, I would actually

Dave Prez,

I would actually recommend Adam Gussow's tab sheet and video on the topic. It's on sale at BitTorrent and it's mostly correct. Adam is not a tongue blocker and he misses some of Sonny's nuance, but it definitely captures the spirit. Start with this and use your ear to catch the rest:

Hi David,

Thanks for reply but I've only found Bending Stydy 1 on your website.  Where exactly are the other lessons?

Thanks,

Dave Prez
