    Mike Williams is a fabulous jazz/blues player based in Boston. He plays with blues pianist David Maxwell, singer Toni Lynn Washington, keyboardist Bruce Bears of the Duke Robillard band and under his own name. He is every bit the player Duke is and I’d highly recommend anybody interested in pursuing this style to google him for more detail.

    That kinda sounds like a Chuck Berry riff. 🙂

  17. lukeee89 says:

    great tips. if you’re a novice, start practicing that way and you’ll have great rhythm for the rest of your life. if you’re an expert, there is never any harm in finding a new exercise and way to improve your timing. i can’t imagine getting to go into class and listen to this guy talk about different techniques and formations, the history of blues, etc. lucky kids at berklee!

  18. SalvatoreT22 says:

    I’m very happy to have found Mike. He is a great teacher for us on You Tube!

  23. ursafan40 says:

    Sorry all you “pros” writing in are dissing Mike. Personally, I like his lessons. He explains things quite well. Better than most people I’ve had try to show me stuff. Please keep posting Mike. You’ve helped me a LOT !!!!

  24. patdel92 says:

    yo im at the same level, i think just learning a buncccch of songs will maybe help it because it will introduce you to alot of different vibes and just new things in general so try that and in 6 months i bet ur creativity would be alot better

  26. leonanim says:

    The song sounds like “My Girl”.

  27. pdgseric says:

    Why would you ever choose a telecaster over a strat? There’s nothing like the tone of a usa strat. And the telecaster is mainly a twangy country guitar.

  28. csl316 says:

    @ProjectBerklee The Mike goes into the soundcard.

  44. DavidCamposComposer says:

    @67Stu Thanks for that

  45. DavidCamposComposer says:

    @Protcall and a Sound Card

  46. Protcall says:

    So all you need is a mic and software to record?

  47. 67Stu says:

    Nice! However, Motown exclusively used the Neumann U 67 for ALL vocals. Guitars went into the Fairchild compressors. (Peluso makes What he calls the P-67.)
