super cool dude good stuff
Thank you. After carrying my guitar around for 42 yrs (bought in S.E. Asia during Nam), you have made it SO easy to play. Heh, where were you when I bought the dang thing? 🙂
Very, very good instruction. David
I like those little chunks to work on Im still an old learner most of this stuff is still almost over my head. thanks Dave good job.
Well executed and generous lesson. Thank you
I’m having trouble with the two note chords getting the top string (the one I pluck) to be loud enough. Too much volume with the pick and not enough with the other. Would appreciate tips on how to balance them out.
I don’t have a web sight. How about some rock lead guitar rifs Rush is one of my favorite bands Eagals also.
1. Web sight is Web site. 2. rifs is riffs. 3. Eagals is Eagles.
Thanks for your tips and rifts
You are very talented I do most of the singing in my band but am getting better every day with the guitar and the band allow me to play 4 leads at the moment with your help I want to play at least half which would be up to 60 of the songs we do we change our songs each night and do up to 30 songs per night but that’s a 3.5 hour set. I look forward to your next lesson. Yours sincerely Martin.
Thanks Griff,
I am 59 yrs old and learning some fun things from your videos. I will hopefully be playing more than short ditty’s with basic chords. I can’t read music and your lessons are perfect for someone like me who learns best by watching! May your days be filled with happiness…..
Enjoyed your first few lessons. Please don’t make all my lessons for the acoustic guitar… I am purchasing an electric as soon as possible…. I am 77 yrs old and played back in the 50’s before I was married. Enjoying learning.
This has opened my eyes to blues.
Thank you very much this well put together video gives me hope and a disere to practice more
Brilliant your good and I really really enjoyed your very easy to follow tuition , I am a Scotsman living in Liverpool so can’t wait for no 2once again thankyou
These may be simple ideas but man, this is what I need. Keep ’em coming! and thank you!
Griff, Thank You for sharing your time and lessons. They are great.
I love your teaching style Griff. My set up downloads the videos pretty slow, but it is oh so worth the wait. I have been HUNGRY to learn how to play some blues. Since starting with your instruction I have been sitting for hours with both acoustic and electric guitars practicing my heart out and having the time of my life. Thank you for what you are doing.
This is great. I’m starting to like playing blues and getting into it. I am so amazed how I turned out with my acoustic after watching your video. Thank you for sharing.
I forget how I stumbled on to your website,but, I’m “over the moon,”
thrilled I did !
Your will be my constant musical companion.
I’ll have to read about what root notes, major, minor, sevenths, etc. are before I go over this first lesson.
OK Im proabably with reader 20. Im still on the open chords. It would be good to get the chords as well.
Fantastic made slow and easy to follow thanks Griff
[…] assuming you can already play a little you need some common blues rhythms and you need to be able to play some solos that aren’t too challenging so you can do them […]
Hi Mistake I do not have a six string guitar.
You do nice work Griff. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos. It is helping more people have more fun with their guitars than you could possibly know. Keep up the great work.
Nice! Thanks. I love it.
Good stuff thanks a lot
I am actually a drummer,(I have been compared to Gene Krupa & Buddy Rich) but JUST NOW trying to learn guitar, I have a problem with turning my wrists to frett properly so will have to play Jeff Healey style, I was about to give up, but with your videos I feel confident that I will be able to
learn to play, thank you so much.
Sincerely
William Thompson
excellent tuition . I am 68 years old . Have been messing with guitars for years . Just decided to learn to play properly. Thanks for the fun.
New at this, not sure what this is asking for ? What info is this referring to ?
Easy but great !
I’ve been playing for almost 30 years and I’m so glad I stumbled onto your videos. I have always had a tendency to over play and still felt something was missing. These videos are helping me to become more disciplined with my playing and sound way better! Very tasteful licks and lessons…Thanks!
I’ve been at a point where I wasn’t making any progress,and u sure are making a difference in my playing,thank you.
Thanks Teach, now I see how the lessons in bgu unleashed will eventually help me put things together. 🙂
I guess that at 67 years young, I’m must be one of your oldest students! I got my 1st (Spanish) guitar when I was 9 in 1956, built my 1st solid electric in 1962.and was over the years self taught, BADLY! However, when made redundant after the Rolls Royce crash, I moved to Scotland and made a living playing first guitar and then bass for several years. Now I have retired though, I want to learn how to play the beasts properly. I have a Fender Strat, and a telecaster and a P Bass and a Yamaha Pacifica, 2 Peavey amps, 2 Fender amps and a small Stagg 20W.
Yours is the first proper tuition I have ever had, and it is a real eye opener, I just wish it had been available when I was young enough to have really benefited from it, never the less, I shall endeavour to make the most of all you can teach an old fossil like me.
My heartfelt thanks to you Griff.
Your teaching on videos like this have inspired me to buy the ‘Blues Guitar Unleashed’ which I really look forward to receiving and working with. Meanwhile just getting these 3 rhythms together, especially the timing and how they sit in the backing track, is a really valuable step in getting playing the blues together. Thanks a bunch Griff – your systematic teaching method stands out from the crowd.
Hi Mr. Griff, I am 78 yrs old. As a toddler I sat on the front porch steps an watched and listened to my Dad strum an old Stella round hole flat top and sing all the current Jimmie Rodgers blues songs and others.. and growing up I learned all of his expertise , 3 chords.. and now at my present age I purchase 3 electric guitars, two epiphones and one fender. while searching for guitar accessories on the web I ran across your video , that was 3 or4 days ago , I have downloaded all your videos and I am going ,with your help , learn to play at least one of these 3 guitars, Thank you for sharing your knowledge , you are a Good man.. thanks again ,ClaudieBoy
Hello Mr. Roy Bonner,
At present time I have a long time sweetheart who lives in Inverness Scotland .
I met her in 1956 while on a secret mission stationed in Dingwall we are still in touch almost daily via Skype..
Let us check for any older students,,, nice meeting you
Claudieboy
You’re a genius Griff! My son, who is a very good musician, has been in despair at my incompetence with the guitar which I have been attempting to play for longer than he’s been on this earth. Well… he will get a surprise when next we play. Thank you.
REALLY NICE THANKS FRIEND…WAITING ON MY DVD LESSONS!
it sounds great
Atlast! What i have been seeking for, for years just got 2 me in a miraclous way i am so grateful!!!.this is a good note to start with God bless you sir.
Nice video play how I wish we could work with you on our Noble Opera Theatre MusicBank Olowa camp to develop young musicians soon in Nigeria as we walk along
Well Griff, sorry to up on Mr Bonner but I’m 84. Unfortunately crippled by arthritis but still struggling to get a few notes out. You are the best teacher an old guitar enthusiastic would-have-been could wish for, I love your patience! I wish I could avail myself of your full course but it would be a waste. but thanks a million for the beginner lessons that will keep me amused for the last few years.
Really pleased I found this stuff. Best I’ve seen yet – keep it up.
I’m a 67 yo disabled veteran, thought I would try to learn a little blues guitar on my bucket list. Its been fun learning from you at my age..Its taken me a little while to get this far but now find myself getting excited that I can play a little!
THANKS!!
Very well done thank you
so cool and beautiful. thanks so much David.
Excellent Griff, I have played Bass and piano professionally many years. you have simplified blues guitar..well done !!!
[…] already have Blues Guitar Unleashed (shame on you then you might want to start with these 3 Classic Blues Rhythms and The 4 Note […]
Thanks Griff! This cones at a perfect time for me. I’ve been going to a weekly jam and have come late to the realization that rhythm is what makes the song work. I’ve been struggling to find something cool to play and I think this is just the ticket.
