Hi Ryan, Welcome aboard. If you’re a guitar player I’d recommend checking out some of Jim’s lessons. I’ve benefited from them a great deal and they’re a lot of fun too. He also has a cool Patreon site. Best wishes, Mark

Workin’ Man Blues Lesson
My playing has really improved over the last few years from your lessons. Not a bad one in the bunch! Mark

LESSON SUGGESTIONS FOR JIM STICKY
Me too. I’ve dropped that hint before; ever since Jim played it at Yoshi’s a couple years ago. Alas he’s a busy man. The ten minute Minute Waltz. Mark

Sorry, 10" speakers in a PR again : )
I use a Celestion G10 Vintage per Jim’s recommendation in my Princeton Reverb. I like them better than the stock speaker. I usually have the volume on 10 and I did recently blow a G10 after about two years. They’re not too expensive so not a huge pr…

I know I’m not the sharpest tool in the box, but my girl and I watched the first episode of this and it made no damned sense to me.

Luca Benedetti's "We'll Get There"
Hey Luca, I’m really digging “We’ll Get There”; it’s been in constant rotation since it came out here in the Avery household. Also looking forward to the new duet album with Jim. Best wishes, Mark Avery

Review sections of Jim Campilongo Trio Live at Rockwood on Amazon and i-tunes
Done and done. I want to grab the uninitiated by the scruff of the neck say “you WILL buy this!” Rock on, Mark

Tone Concepts Distillery
Thanks. I’m looking for the black label and a recent one (2017?) where they upgraded the controls for finer adjustments. Mark

More Tele Players
Oz Noy plays regularly at the Bitter End and Wayne Krantz at the 55 Bar. I’ve seen them both multiple times. Very different styles but very good. Mark

Minuet in G Lesson
Hey Jim, Yeah I meant Minute Waltz. I've taught Minuet in G to about a hundred kids...it's burned into my consciousness. I love your treatment of the waltz, so pretty. I'll keep an eye out for it. See you in Chicago next month! Mark

Sweet Nothings...Country Soul?
If you'd told me forty years ago when all I wanted to do was learn Led Zeppelin songs that I'd be enjoying COUNTRY licks...yikes. Twang on! Mark

Happy Birthday Jim!
Yeah, when you wake up in the morning and something doesn't hurt it means you've died in your sleep. Rock on!

Happy Birthday Jim!
Happy Birthday Jim! I'm only four months behind you. 1958 was a good year to be born and a great bunch of years to grow up in.

Behind the nut bend question
I've tried all of the stuff mentioned over the years, but my B string still goes a little sharp after anything higher than a half step bend. A quick little bend on the fretboard gets me back in tune...just something I've learned to live wi…

Two New Lessons (for me)
Jim's lessons are just the best. I've worked through several in the last few months and they've given me lots of ideas to use when I teach. Let us know how you like those two. Have fun! Mark

Zephaniah Ohora's new album
Jim, Thanks for posting the review. And don't worry about being perceived as a narcissist; you exude humility which is very refreshing and an inspiration for me to be more so. Have a good one! Mark

I IV V Blues Key?
Thanks, I'm a big Ted fan and I'd be surprised if I haven't read what he said about that and just forgot. I'll see what I can find out. Mark

Charlie was at the Jazz Kitchen here in Indianapolis tonight. Absolutely amazing! "Where's the bass player?" ;-)

Tickets on sale for Jim's 6/28 Oakland show
I used to think it would be fun to follow a band around the country like the Deadheads did. We're planning to see you in Chicago and Oakland. Guess that makes me a Jimhead. Mark
