As usual your method of explaining and playing is reall cool. Thank you.
I’m 63 playing about ten years and your videos help me alot thank you
I just recently purchased the system and have not yet caught up/on to these e-mails. I think it is great you help and add things as we go along… I am still struggling with barre cords. I know the fret board pretty well and most open chords just being 7 days into course… Great stuff thanks.
Great lesson Griff thanks soo much,I will have fun working on this one!
Great! I have quite a few of your DVD’s, these mini lessons help me with the ‘big picture’. I’m not a natural so it all helps.
This ANSWERS some longtime questions I ve had-(and FINALLY unlocks sounds I have tried to get-
Whats the SMALLEST number of notes you can have in a guitar chord?(TWO?)(I always thought they were INTERVALS!
I always liked the 2 note stuff that Chuck Berry did(and on a 335(or a 345)….(I like sliding and bending those too(I love that sound-always have_
So you can CREATE 2 note chords? Do rhythm guitar parts just using 2 note chords?(as opposed to open chords or Barre chords?)
Keep up the great work!(your videos are great-(and I really learn from them!)
Thank you so much!Keep on Pickin’!
Enjoy!
Are there also 2 note 6 th 7th 9th and 11th (and 13th chords?)(just wondering!(and what about chord inversions(are those possible also?)
WOW!!! There’s a whole lot of music going on there. Thanks, Griff.
Griff, see many other patterns. I discovered playing the G7 and C7 playing at the 5th fret1st 4 string, the notes G D F and the B with the l4th finger. You arpeggio the notes like Down to the Station. The move the entire form to the 10 the fret.
wow thank you pard
Griff,
The other comments say it all.Fantastic explanation and very clear. Thanks for posting it.
I am working my way through BGU and this helps to pull it together.
Also love what Pentatonic Scale Mastery is doing for my finger independence
Derek
Thanks ‘Griff’, I’ll be infusing all three this Saturday night on different songs. ‘TREE BAR BAND’, ‘BLUE DIAMOND’, NV.
Very clear lesson .Makes me want to practise. Thanks
Excellent! Been waiting for something like this for a long time. Griff can you do a specialize downloadable course on electric blues rhythm playing? I know you covered some of it in the BGU course … but am hungry for more. Thanks again for this video.
Mr. Tiny Puzzle. The secret behind your success as a great teacher, teaching blues for everybody to understand – and play. Don´t walk before you are able to crawl! Thanls so much Griff. Continue to this great project your own way and don´t let the guitarmaf(-ia) take your the wrong direction. You are doing so well!
All the best
Allan
Outstanding lesson M8. Very well done.Relevant to all guitar players.Loved it!
You make the complex simple and create complexity by using simplicity. I’m just getting back to playing. The lesson was just perfect for this retired educator trying keep his mind alert by developing some simple chops. THANKS!
Thanks for another great lesson Griff .
Thank you Griff
This opens a whole new door..and keeping it simple yet with complex tones ….it will impress everyone!
I love the Jazz/Blues…that’s my landing place. With practice…it will make me sound great as if I took months of hard core training..
and here you have it blues in a box…thanks again
John
Thanks, Griff!
This is the kind of stuff we can never get enough of. Seriously. This is what keeps us being more creative. You do an excellent job. Keep ’em coming by all means!!!
DaveyJoe
Great Educational information. Keep em coming!
I have all these questions to ask about playing the blues and even though my teacher can answer all of them he doesn’t supply the dvd’s so that I can go over and over the tabs and the techniques. This is a brilliant way to teach and learn. Griff, I am a disciple – keep them coming.
YES I AGREE.VERY EASY TO FOLLOW THANKS
It sounds good to me, easy to learn the techniques.
Giff love to see you play some day, You make what I’m am trying to do look Sooooo easy. Thanks for takin the time and showin us how!!!
GRIFF YOU DID IT AGAIN ( GREAT STUFF )
Loved the lesson as always. I don’t play the guitar for a band. I play solo gigs. I usually play the bass guitar in a band and so I find it just to be a lot of fun doing these things on the guitar.
Thanks for the video God wish I had you for a teacher forty years ago. You make it look so easy. But anyway thank you so much for sharing your gift with me, your truly Gods gift to us .so many times in my life lve ask people to show me things.and you would nt believe the negative response I get.like I’m going to steal or be better then them.wow is all I could say and be disappointed so I gave up until you. The music is back in me dude thanks.when I can aford to buy your lessons I will .thanks again.bbking jr. Okay someday 🙂
Freddie K. probably heard that lick around Dallas from Ray Sharpe and ‘Linda Lou” 1959, he’s from Ft Worth. Tx blues from T-Bone on in the modern era on down. All us kid pickers learned that tune in the early sixties, and you are 100% correct you can slide that lick into a million songs. In those days you had to get that shuffle just right for the dancers, North Texas Push – South Texas Whip, same dance, greasy, nasty, and hard to keep your mind on your pickin with a dance floor full!! Good work, my friend, teach them what they need and keep it simple. Rock On, Griff.
Terrific lesson. Your teaching technique makes everything look so easy. Thanks for taking the time to produce these videos.
Fantastic lesson!! I am always amazed at how much material you can cover
and how much knowledge you impart in such a short video time.
Your lessons are top notch and I am grateful to you for sharing your time and talents with us
who aspire to be better guitarists.
“when the student is ready, the teacher will appear”.. Great job, Griff.
Griff, I was a really great lesson. Thank you very much.
Correction; That was a great lesson.
especially helpful, Griff, thanks for the commitment you give to the improvement of your students.
I knew the single movements (they are all found in the BGU course) but the combination of them in
just one piece of music never occured to me. Easy to play but most effectiv practical. stuff.
Keep on teaching
Jens
Hey Griff, thank you for all the lessons. It’s great and it has helped me a lot in my playing. I have learned so much with ALL that you share wit us,I can’t thank you enough, but please keep’um coming. Also, I appreciate all the offers too, maybe one of these times I’ll take you up on it. Thank you, and mahalo.
Watched this and had a some new ideas for my song writing hobby. Thanks
Once again You Da Man Griff —- Thanks for Reminding – I forgot about that little SHUFFLE Thang….LATERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Thank you Griff. This lesson makes everything crystal clear.
Griff GREAT STUFF MAN!!!!
Terrific instruction. You are on/par with Jody Fisher (jazz)
“toredown”…I have known it as “got to hurry” unsure of artist…LOVE those little Jazzy nuances…makes blues playing very tastey
Keep up the awesome lessons….
…wish that I could see your video’s Griff but that little stupid Adobe Flash player window keeps popping up asking if a website can store info on my computer. I keep clicking the “No” button but nothing happens, it just gets stuck there so your video won’t play. You should contact Adobe and tell them to stop sabotaging your business. I mean it’s frustrating and really, really sucks! To make matters worse, they put the damned thing right in the center of the video so that we can’t see anything…this is nothing more than a corporate virus.
Video 2 really brings some things together for me, even above the BGU course. A bit of an “aha” moment. Thanks for the clarification. Gonna go plug in and give it a shot.
Thank you Griff, you’re a great teacher
I’am following you from France
Like you say Riff, “This is the real Stuff”, and thanks to you I’m ready for it, and I can handle it.
Thanks again Riff

This is long overdue feedback. Griff you are incredibly generous. While I’ve bought two of your courses, I think I’ve received more than one full free course in all these lessons you just put out there for us. I, like probably 90% of the folks who have been following you, have looked at lots of other courses and checked out lots of other instructors. You personality, method of instruction and your course content are the best by a mile! Thanks! Sorry it’s taken so long to acknowledge all you’ve given beyond quality courses.
Hey Griff. this is the 3rd one I’ve gotten, that doesn’t play: as long as you are talking, it sound
fine. but when you start to play” it sound like it’s all mixed up. sound like two of three guitar’s
are playing over the top of each other.
I checked my computer & everything is fine, so could you please tell me how to get this to
play.
Thanks
Great lesson, guess mainly cause this is the kind of stuff that aligns with where I’m at as a musician and a guitarist. I’ve recently started working in a band setting, other musicians and so much stuff like this is making sense. Seems like I have a revalation about everyday. Anyway any lessons along these lines where you’re looking a music construction is worth it.
Thanks again Griff for another multitude of combinations to try out and get allot Bigger bag to keep them in
Great stuff as usual, simple and well taught!!
