A Blues Solo In A
This is solo #1 from the Blues Guitar Unleashed DVD Series.
Aside from the fact that I use it in other lessons, it’s a great solo for a blues in the key of A in a straight (as in… not a swing) feel.
It’s a moderate tempo… not slow, but certainly not fast either. And I made it a point to keep the licks reasonable and playable by just about anyone at the appropriate level.
So here’s a slow version play along for you to get started
And the full speed version when you’re ready…

I am really happy that I bought the Blues Unleashed set. I played in a band way back in the 80’s but was never comfortable in open blues jams. I only played what I had memorized. I may never play in front of a crowd again but still having a blast learning the blues. My only complaint is now that I have these DVD’s I’m not getting much else done.

I thought I was a member already? Please send this solo to my e-mail. All the stuff you have sent me has been very helpful. Thank you, Jim

Hi Griff, First let me start by saying your a very precise & clear instructor. You can tell you’ve paid your dues. I don’t remember what originally caught my attention in your course but I must say your approach works. How do I know? You teach as i do …let me explain. I’m 62 years young. I’ve been a full time professional lead singer and rthym guitarist for over 40 years. I still regularly work gigs & and have played on countless studio recordings. This may seem strange but I never learned to play lead guitar. In my career this far have also taught many students to play from dead nothing to advanced rhythm using the same techniques as you do…but when they reach competence level on rhythm guitar… I’ve always turned them over to a different insturctor. Lead has always been my weak Area. Sure I’ve picked up a few quickies here and there but I sorta gave up hope of ever being a lead guitarist. I’m very impressed with your course thus far. I’m now certain you can teach this old dog a few new tricks. I’m looking forward to tackling this course. I would recommend this to anyone.. Your doing a great service by taking the mystery out of playing. When I’ve taught advanced rhythm techniques I do the same as you… play it full speed blows their mind & then break it down to its essentials and de mystify it. I applaud your work! Finally someone who makes sense of lead guitar. Bravo!! My new friend Bravo!

hi griff,saeiest way to get started thanks

John Garland
Hi griff nothing hard here as you say apart for using the pinky finger which I steering to use more and more
What gives this the wow factor is the phrasing and the bending and I notice that
You seem to have a lick for each chord which is what I do in my own way
But the bends take it to a different level that I’m on conpleatly wife’s at home today so I will get started on
This tomorrow and I can’t wait thank youa thousand times brilliant -

Griff- Can’t thank you enough for sharing your gift. I’ve learned the phrases in the solo pretty well and can put them all together about 1 out of 6 attempts. I’ve noticed during bends my callouses which are sometimes flakey, are contacting the next lower string and sometimes two, giving off background harmonics that are mucking up the sound. Do I need to just smooth off the callouses or do you think I need to change my finger positioning? When looking at my fingertips palm side up the callouses seem to be mostly on the right side of my fingers of the left hand. Just don’t want to form a difficult to break bad habit. Thanks.

I was watching a video last year or over a year ago and had to do some research to find how to contact you about a teaching video I could purchase. At that time you said you wasn’t selling any video’s anymore but may consider doing it again possible in the next year or so, I do thank you for the reply and glad your back in music, I think your a great guitarist and a very good teacher. I stopped playing for approx.: 30 yeas after 2 family members pass away in a family band we had, I started back last year and have got back into a Christian band, My wife and I are both 100% disabled and have a very low income. I could not tell you how many times I have watched your video on u-tube and the email you sent me. I was hopping to be able to purchase your Blues Guitar Unleashed but I cannot afford the cost of it. ( Please note I am not trying to get a lower price). Maybe someday I will be able to get it. I have never had any type of lesson’s always played by ear, but you really go into great detail and like I said a great guitar player. Thanks for the emails and I wish you and your family the best in life. Thanks, Tony

Being recently retired and a lifelong (since age 14) guitar player I was always frustrated by never really learning to play lead guitar. I played a lot of Bluegrass, church and praise music and the occasional country jam but always as a rhythm player or bass guitar. Since receiving my DVD course the first part of the month I have been playing 1-2 hours a day and loving it. My hand are finally getting into some decent shape and I am amazed at how much I am learning. Lesson 14 has been a major challenge as my short fat fingers rebelled against those up the neck chord shapes but after a week of daily practice they are coming more easily each day. I spend 20-30 minutes playing the blues scale up and down the neck and they are finally becoming more natural and help to loosen up the hands. Then I generally watch your most recent email video and take a quick stab at something new before going back to the lesson I am working on and playing it for a while. I generally finish up with 10-15 minutes of running through the cords of songs I know and love to play. Stuff like House of the Rising Sun, Spooky, Summertime. Thanks for helping me to put some fun back in my playing, I can only imagine where I might be in 6 months to a year.

this is for Greg and Larry Read. I am 68 and have payed bass since the 60`s. Never learned lead guitar. Recently bought guitar and went searching for licks on you tube. Could pick up some random things but as soon as I would try to play with friends I would freeze and couldn`t remember a thing. Reason? it was just a bunch of disconnected junk. I was lucky enugh to stumble across Grif videos and it all started making sense.Thanks Grif for helping comlete my `bucketlist` !

This was really great for me. I’m pretty new to guitar but the way that you have broken this solo down made it easy for me to understand and follow along. I’m going to practice my butt off this week so that I can show off my new skills at our Beginners Blues Jam Class next week. Thanks for all the time and effort that you put into this for all of us who love the Blues.

I’m 68 and have been playing various styles for 51 years. I’ve always loved the blues and have known the box 1 pentatonic and pentatonic blues scales, and have even tried to jam with some friends, but I could never make the leap from playing scales to playing a meaningful lead. I purchased BGU and am absolutely thrilled with how you’ve pulled it all together. It’s like the scales are the words, the licks are the sentences, and the 12 bar solos are the paragraphs! I think I’m starting to see the light!
Thank you.
Bill

Griff, that is fabulous. I am LouisVA and am new to the course and having great fun but I got overly zealous. After being away from the guitar since the mid-sixties, I should have known better, but I played WAY TOO LONG on the first couple of days and my 63 year old arthritic fretting hand became VERY swollen and sore in the knuckles. Now, after over a week of recoup and wearing pain patches, I am just starting to play again and will seriously pace myself this time. I am very impressed with your teaching method and feel that I have already learned a few new tricks in the short time I have been practicing. The one thing going for me is my love of the blues for many years. I was in my teens when the British Blues scene started and ironically was introduced to the blues by those cats. I say ironically, because I was born in Memphis and my paternal grandfather was from Clarksdale, MS – so close to the blues geographically, but so distant because of the sick Southern attitude concerning race. No crossover to the pop radio stations so had to wait until the1960s for the UK to send my music back to me. With that said, I’ve been a blues fan for 50 years now. Thanks for your hard work!!!!!

j0hnr0lfe@hotmail.com
Griff, wow the solo fits and sounds perfectly to a twelve bar. Just prooves less is more. To me being able to hear all the notes in the solo is far more enjoyable and pleasing to the ear than listening to someone trying to get thousands of “notes” into the same time scale.
I am definately going to learn this solo and as you say put my own style into it.
Many thanks.
P.S. have enjoyed all previous lessons, you have the gift of explaining everything in laymans terms. -
Muddskipper1@msn.com
MAN
Just the first two notes at the start I was jamming with strumming two strings at once and WOW Did I get a cool JAM!
I’m learning the solo on parts but I can’t help playing the whole thing. Because I practiced the A scale Pentatonic blues till I was Blue in the face up and down the fret board. So that helped me immensely!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m play my own version not even trying to and it sounds awesome! I was practicing every day for at least an 1hr at the least because I love playing the guitar. Im a GREEN player brand new on the guitar and I can’t put it down. I’m playing a Chinese made Les Paul11special. I know at some point I’m going to want a good guitar. Maybe you can help me when I’m ready. I still need to learn the notes=I know a few but not many. I never saw any lessons on playing just the notes like A7 B7C7 D7 E7 G7 that’s all I have to look at and I have been having so much fun I’m to busy playing.
Thank’s
SOOOO Much!!!

That was an outstanding blues run. The best part was that smile on your face at the end. Like when I hit a drive on the golf course and from the sound of the hit you just know you got all of it. You’ve hit a home run, My man. And, I think you know it. Like I said to my long time guitar idle when he came to town, “Keep doing what you’re doing”. That was Robin Trower, by the way.

YOU AND THE WAY THAT YOU TEACH ARE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, COMPARED TO THE USUAL TEACHING METHODS OUT THERE. I FIND WHAT PEAS ME OFF THE MOST IS ALL OF THE BABBLE THAT WE HAVE TO WADE THROUGH BEFORE ACTUALLY BEING SHOWN THE LESSON. NOT WITH YOU, YOU EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS THAT WE CAN EXPECT TO LEARN IN WHAT EVER LESSON THAT WE MIGHT BE IN TO NEXT, AND BAM YOU SHOW US WHAT WE NEED TO LEARN IN A PRECISE EASY TO COMPREHEND FORMAT. AND WITH GREAT VIEWS OF WHERE TO PUT EACH FINGER, WITH COMMON SENSE INSTRUCTIONS. GRIFF YOU ARE A GOD SEND AND PLEASE KEEP ON ROCKING ON & ON & ON…………….PEACE OUT BRO FROM FRITZ THE KHAT MY THANKS TO YOU FOR ALL OF THE HELP YOU HAVE GIVEN ME

Arnie Lackner
All I am, is pissed off that you and the internet weren’t around 40 years ago.
I’ve got the music in my head, but like a house of cards the first wrong not and it collapses.
I’ve got seven guitars including a GIBSON self-tuner (now that my kids are grown).
I’ve practiced scales till my fingestips were on fire (arthritis is what does that now).
I’ve got (had) the will………………but not the talent.
With a teacher like you fourty years ago the music in my head might have ended up on records.
I love your ability to teach.

Hi Griff, Thanks for all the great lessons. I can’t believe my own ears! I can stream and play the 1st sole wmv file, but I can’t save it. The playback is very choppy because ISP is terrible.
On another note, you have mentioned Eric Clapton in a number of lessons. I was wondering what you think of JJ Cale, who wrote many of the songs Clapton recorded. Cale recorded them too and they did at least one album together.
I’m looking forward to the day I can order the whole unleashed package; on disability and have to save my pennies, but the way you teach the blues has put a smile on this gals face!

Thanks Griff, really like the videos and I enjoy working on them. I have MS and will never be an entertainer but even trying to learn is great
For the mind and body. I am working through the 5 easy and five more easy blues package. All fun.
I also enjoy your teaching style. You use so many different guitars in the videos, I have often wondered if you have a favorite.
Thanks again.

Thank u thank u thank u Griff ,
I’ve listened to the best for years and never could figure out what they did to make those incredible sounds. Then I decided to ask my brother who was lucky enough to play with some of the ‘masters’ but, as brothers go he just laughed and told me to figure it out. What a dickhead! 😉
I thought that I was destined to play stairway to heaven the rest of my life, can’t thank you enough for shedding the light on what I thought was unreachable!God bless you and yours,
Rick

so I can buy the blues series.
Thanks

Bob L
WOW. Must be getting a little better I recognized it as the blues scale box 1. I do jump all around the emails you send practicing. I can see improvement already. Play one thing for a while, than another, then another. I enjoy the hell out of learning like this. Never took a lesson before just looked at chords and started Playing them and singing. It is so great to learn the right way. I find myself listening to the blues station while inn my car and can pick out some of the chords and runs that I already learned from you. Pretty Cool, actually awesome! YOu suggested 85% well I am at 65% and going up all the time. I just stay with it. It is amazing how one day your having trouble with the chords then 2 days later it’s like butter.
I guess that is the jumping around you talk about. Plus doing one thing until you learn it perfectly is frankly boring,Learning how to put my fat fingers on the board so I can make it sound right. I can put a quarter through my ring finger ring, I am trying to put my fingers on a diet and exercise routine! LOL
Your a fantastic teacher Griff!, of course you already know that!
-
What you posted made a ton of sense. But, think on this,
what if you were to create a killer headline?I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose
you added a title that makes people want
more? I mean blog topic is kinda boring. You should glance
at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create news
titles to grab viewers to click. You might
add a related video or a pic or two to get readers
interested about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little bit more interesting. -

Hey Griff,
I have played rhythm guitar/country most of my life but have always wanted to learn to play blues guitar. I love blues and man this is awesome. I’m having so much fun. I’m gonna have to learn how to adjust my amp. to sound right. Like I say it’s opened my eyes about things that I actually knew but didn’t realize it, if that makes sense!! lol Anyway……. Thank you ….Gary -
Wayne Wendell
Thanks Griff, I hope you don’t mind to much, but I play in a little country rock group. We play for Seniors groups and they like the old stuff, (CCR seems to be new to them ) it’s OK with me (I’m in my early 70’s, age that is) I have been able to use your solos and they sound good in this country venue as well. I have been playing for about 8 years, so I’m only and always learning. Thank you. Wayne

Dear Griff, Thank you brother, I am really starting to remember everything that I once knew, all of those years ago! In the 60’s and 70’s I was a very good player,
spent a lot of time in the studio, and was a respected teacher. And then, I had a serious accident! Even though
my spine was crushed, I’ve been trying to remember everything that I had to put aside for all these years, in order to be productive, and to keep my sanity! Thank You so much for all your help! You are a great friend to all of us who are trying to find some peace in our lives!!
Lary Dixon
wow Griff, listened to this before I even had my fist cup of coffee in the morning, and I have to say it put a smile on my face and the ole foot was tapping away. This is my first time writing to you and I wanted to say you`ve talked about using the scales for solos and using root notes to know where to go… I can see it everywhere now, I also understand how some theory COULD be important (for me anyway) I`ve deleted other guitar teachings from my e-mail list. Awesome job!!!
