    cheers

    Cool. Now I gotta finger out how to move it up to A or C or wherever else. It’s gonna give my thumb a work-out. Ho!

    Thank you for the lessons. If there was an award for guitar lesson videos you’d win “hands down”

    Thanks, Rj

    So neat. When the tab looks relatively simple like this one does, I like to try it few times before I watch your video so that I can grasp what you’re doing more quickly. At least that’s the idea! But I found it quite tricky, so I watched the video and the key was when you mentioned the groups of three – it all came together then. Thanks so much.

    I HAVE BEEN ENJOYING YOUR VIDEOS. THEY TAKE ME BACK TO THE DAYS AT TULANE WHEN FREDDIE BAZLER, “THE TRAVELER” TAUGHT ME TO PLAY BLUES. MY WIFE HAS THREATENED TO SELL MY GUITARS AND BANJO IF I DONT START PLAYING AGAIN! THANK YOU FOR GETTING ME BACK INTO IT.

    Amazing! Any “Jelly Roll Morton” fans out there? Robert Johnson didn’t live long enough to enjoy his celebrity status. Who knows? Maybe he would have fled from it. But he was truly gifted.

    Lovely stuff. Broken nails from recent DIY and gardening and it doesn’t sound the same with soft pads. looking forward to when they regrow.

    Keep ’em comming.

    Griff, Thanks for this turnaround.
    I’ve been playing guitar for several years and have gotten to a “performance” stage but these extra nice bits liven things up greatly.
    Over the years that I have been following you I have seriously considered your course but know within my heart that I would never give it the focus & time that it would merit.
    If I was to buy a course it would be yours but nice words don’t put food on the table. Have you considered a “donate” button as I’m sure people like myself value what you put into our free lessons and would like to make a contribution.
    All the best.

    I love when you throw out these things for us. They help to inspire me and to pull the other things you offer to us.together. One of first things you did was to offer the power chords around the second and to fourth frets, and as you’ve added other things like this, I’ve been able to put a melody and chorus and write a song. You are indeed a great teacher. Thank you!!

    I like this, its also part of the Sitting on the Porch that you gave us.
    Thanks Griff, I just wish I had more time to play
