Alright, let’s cut to the chase… there’s a really cool trick that almost every blues player does, and here’s how you do it….Now that I have your attention, I’m actually not kidding. This trick uses slurs, which are commonly called hammer-ons and pull-offs. “Slurs” is the blanket term for any note that is played without hitting it with your pick.
So watch this video, especially when I get to what I call tweedlies. Then practice on all 8 of the licks, and especially number 8. I guarantee you’ll hear that lick in at least 5 of your favorite tunes somewhere. Maybe not all of it, but the same idea.

I have to show some thanks to this writer just for rescuing me from such a condition. Right after looking out through the search engines and seeing views that were not beneficial, I thought my life was over. Living without the strategies to the difficulties you’ve resolved as a result of your post is a crucial case, as well as those that might have in a wrong way damaged my career if I had not discovered your blog. That understanding and kindness in maneuvering all the things was invaluable. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come across such a thing like this. It’s possible to at this point relish my future. Thanks a lot so much for the reliable and result oriented guide. I will not hesitate to endorse your blog to any individual who wants and needs guide on this topic.
Wonderful site. Lots of useful info here. I’m sending it to several pals ans additionally sharing in delicious. And of course, thank you on your effort!
Thanks Griff, you really make it interesting to try these licks. I wish I had more time to spend practising them.
You beaudy, terrific.
[…] of the easiest and quickest ways to add some spice to your soloing is using what I call Tweedlies (no, that’s not the official term and that’s why I like […]
Perfect portion of work you’ve got completed, this web site is actually cool with abundant data .
You state that the note dies if you put your finger down slowly. Isn’t it more that you hammer on quickly making the note sound on the tap down? Or is it a combination of the two? Kinda of a does it really matter question I guess.
It’s a combination of the two. Both statements are true but the bottom line is that you have to be quick with it.
Thanks Griff for the great lesson!
great . this s so very important to learn .and very hard to get right. been on this for about a month just starting to get a flow .a single string first finger is my hardest . thanks for your video as always great stuff. peace to you and all GHOSTPLAYR
for some reason i remember this from an e,mail or it was on the BGU course.
Eric Claptons lick i saw him play live and i remeber that lick. when i met him in 1971 at ScreenGems party and he and Steve Winwood where jamming and he used that lick. Eric and the Dominoes, he played that lick in a lot of his solos. just like BB King has that signature lick. thanks Griff.
An important lesson for beginners and cool licks to learn. Thanks!
Hey Griff , thanks for another great little lesson …
Hi Griff,
I have been offline for a few months and now I’m reconnected have got to catch up on many of your freebies you send to my email address. Should keep my busy for the foreseeable future.
Every time I click on a link you send me I learn so much. Thanks for that.
My mother asked what I wanted for my birthday just gone. I’m now the proud owner of a Washburn 335 in natural finish ( maple everything ) which is nice.
Next year when she asks I’m going to say ( and get ) unleashed.
Cutting the apron strings of my current guitar playing and moving on.
Not ready to cut my dear old moms strings yet. I still need a les paul. TeeHee !!!!
Bless her and Love her. ( there’s a blues song in there somewhere )
Love and Peace……. Brian….. Wales…UK. xxxx
Dude. You’re awesome. And thank you. Very much.
No video. Please send again
great stuff I hope you will put tabs out at some time Michael
Tweedlie???? cmon biff
Before I ever started getting my chops back I could to hammer ons and pulloffs. Never knew they wherer called tweedelies. LOL. I like the licks. Griff, Just wish I did’t have Memeory Problems. Than you. This was a fun lesson. Paul.
great lesson, going to work hard on the tweedlies. really cool thanks Griff..
no video no mateer what i try. I would like to see this one. Is it available on your ptogram?
Video is not loading/showing???? Just a blank square where the video normally is.
Ta
Hi Griff I am shure even as you put it little tweedlies even those are perfect and used in the correct time will be perfect once again thank you .ps have a merry christmas and a happy new year to you and and all your family.
NO VIDEO here
I’m 93 …… what’s all this devil’s music you’re playing?!
Hi Griff,
one comment on the tweedlies: Here in Germany we have a musical term for it (I know
it from notation for accordion): It’s a “Pralltriller”. The other way around (high note – low note
– high note) is called “Mordent”. As Wikipedia says, the english terms are upper Mordent
and lower Mordent. But tweedly is much better !
Thank you for your free lessons !
Greetings from Germany,
Thomas
P.S: In my experience it is important to note that the beat is on the first note, not on the
third (as it would be if the first two notes are grace notes). I realized that problem when
playing together with other people !
Grif
The Tweedle doesn’t appear to work on the high E string with my amp (Marshall MG100DFX) set to clean tone and no effects. I don’t hear the third note , i.e. the hammer on works and I get the first two separate notes, but the third part, on the pull off, produces nothing.
Thus it seems to me that one needs to “dial in” some effect to one’s amp: do you agree? If so what would you recommend?
Hi Griff, Thanks for all the lessons you send out, but I’m not getting all the videos, so I can’t join in. Regards Phill.
Thank you for the free lesson’s Griff. you are a great teacher. you go slow enough, where any one can see both hand’s what they are doing. thank’s Griff. enjoying it. thank’s
Thanks Griff for the split screen. I always wanted someone to do this so I could see what both hands were doing at the same time. Again thanks.
Thanks so much! Just ordered BGU and am very excited waiting for it to show up. Have looked at a few other systems & teachers online but your style of teaching is very comprehensive and does not make you feel like an idiot if you dont get something right away. Taking the time to explain things a few different ways kept me going when I was about to give up playing altogether. I really enjoy learning to play from your free lessons, but cant wait for the ” unleashed ” cd’s! Thanks again!
Great lesson. I love the split screen, and you go nice an slow so everyone can understand. Keep up the good work!
Does it means that in order to acquired speed I need to hammer while practicing Pentatonic.
Thanks
Robert
Love your style of teaching. It has imporved my playing faster than I could have imagined.
Thank You and keep up the good work.
Ron
Tweedlies … i love it.
i find it hard to create phrases, maybe im trying to make them too complicated.
i couldn’t really grasp any of the stuff you played until you played it faster, like my brain couldn’t hear the effect of the riffs until you sped them up.
that was a fantastic lesson
thanks man
peace
Please refer to BGU Lesson 24, the Slow Blues in G Solo 4 using major and minor sounds and lots of triplets, tweedlies, etc. The solo has a time signature of 12/8. To practice the timing on slurs and pieces of the lesson, play along is very difficult for me with some of these and counting is next to impossible on some of the faster phrases/riff’s/tweedlies, etc. I can get close by ear and using my Ardour/Harrison Mixbus (Linux distro) recording/mixing app to set marks where I need them so I get a heads up on where to come in or exit. I’d like to use the metronome on these to work on the technical correctness but I’m not sure how to subdivide the beats in a metronome. How many bpm (120 or Allegro is the default in my metronome) should we start with for these slurs, In other words, how do we subdivide a beat of triplets, a tweedlie, or even faster phrases or riffs when practicing with a metronome as advised. In particular, here’s a couple examples from the lesson I’m referring to which I think might apply to this lesson on slurs:
-bar 2, the IV chord C7 there’s a tweedlie/triplet when relaxing the bend from C to a Bb
-bar 5 for the I chord G7 it appears notated as a ‘quintlet?’ 5 notes in a beat,
-bar 7 the V chord there’s a notated 4 on the D7 where it looks like we pick up on the second note of the ‘quadlet?’ with a slide from Bb to D then F for the 4 parts of the ‘quadlet?’
-bar 13 an ‘octlet?’ 8 notes in a beat?
-bar 20 is a good triplet exercise example
Please keep it coming, I’m unlearning a lot of bad and learning a ton of good and becoming a better player, especially my ability for improvisation with your courses and lessons. I am working on these last couple things to nail the solo’s and have started the Major/Minor Supplement course. Feed me..hunger for more.

Who’s this nitwit Bob give us a break just play the guitar
What is the differenct between a lick and a riff? I thought I used to know but now I’m not so sure.
Hey Griff thanks so much for all the great lessons and all your hard work in trying to make guitar playing much easier for us all we really appreciate you so much.
Thank for reading BoWei! I think Windows 8 works in any type of magazine, because their marketing message is that the Windows 8 start screen is so customizable that is can be personalized for anyone. Also, Conde Naste owns Wired magazine too, so Wid#;&e8217rs magazine has the Windows 8 cover this month as well.Michelle
Griff,
Just got through this tricks and tweedlies lessons and have to say, YOU are the instuctor for ME! I watch, watch agina and listen carefully, print out the tabs, practice them until I get it and how it links in with previous lessons, then go back to the video and play along . Once i feel I’ve got it down fairly well, continue to practice with back up videos and go back every week or two, to check on my progress since the last time that particular lesson was mastered….most often it’s down pat by then. I have learned so much from you and can’t wait to gpurchase all of your sets, expecially interested at this time in country blues, Additionally, have been inspired to wrtie new songs consistantly ! Thank You a million times over for you excellent teaching skills . It’s an honest gift of which we are most fortunate to have you share with us. can figure the lead on alsomt any song already! PLease don’t stop, ever!
Griff,
As always, another great lessons helping all of us become better players. I’ll start digging in and getitng these cools slurs down!
Keep up the great work and lessons. Would like to see one on how to do bends without hitting other strings and having them ring out- my technique’s getitng better but that unwanted string happens occassionally
Thanks Griff ,
This is the kind of video I get the most out of , it reinforces what i know and shows me what I don’t .
Sincerly , Paul Daly
Great lessons Griff,they are certainly keeping me motivated to keep improving my style and technique.Keep “em” coming.
Hi Griff
These lessons are seriously good. Can’t explain why. They just are. In the few months I’ve subscribed to your free lessons I’ve really corrected some flaws in my technique and can approach just about any song I want now, be it Hendrix, Clapton, Knopfler. Any of the greats. Being 16 I hope I show your courses appeal to everyone. Hopefully I’ll always be amazed at what a free internet course can do!
JB
Hi Griff:
As to all these “near 50” guys writing you, I’m 67 and have a great time with your lessons. I bought your course and have learned a ton. It’s a great value and you’re style of teaching is terrific.
Jim
WILL BE A BIG HELP
hey griff, im an aussie guy living in sydney have found your gear great to watch thanx for sharing looking at buying the blues box set soon.
Hi Griff,
Thanks for all the freebies. I’m very grateful for sending me those helpful tips. But I need to secure an electric guitar first before porchasing you BGU course…mine is just acoutic guitar.
Mike
Hey Griff,
I O U great favors by constantly sending me videos with great stuffs to practice on. I already put off my other expensive guitar online lessons bought sometime ago which didn’t help much my learning experience. But your free video lessons and techniques are far more comprehensive and easy to follow than the voluminous explanations contained in other tutorials that I could hardly digest. So thank you.
Griff,
I have your Blues Unleashed DVDs and always enjoy your emails. You reference Eric Clapton’s “Someday Baby” in the email below, however, I believe you meant to reference “Someday After a While” as EC, to my knowledge, never recorded “Someday Baby.”
My opinion, for what it’s worth, you, Keith Wyatt, and Gregg Koch are the best blues instructors out there. Keep up the good work!
Thanks,
JD “Bluesdr” Hicks

Griff, I have been enjoying your lessons and I am grateful for the help you’ve given me.
Thanks for helping out an old 79 year old Cogger who loves Music and always has. Thanks Friend, Jack Jonas, ( I am related to the Jonas Brothers on TV, from Bellmont, NC, but never hit the big time like they have , LOL )

hey griff im only 12 years old but i hav learned a lot from your videos and they have helped me get a lot better a the guitar
Hey there Griff, thank you so much for these great lessons. I’m 16 and have been wanting to improve my guitar skills, and I wasn’t sure how to go on by myself. Your videos are really helpful, and I definitely will will be checking out your DVD’s. Thank you again!
Hey Griff, just sayin thanks for some of those tasty licks your puttin out there.
I just turned 19 and Ive been playing for 6 years and I already know I wanna go pro with guitar, I could always use a couple more licks to throw in my pocket.
Griffer’
Again, your lessons for me are like going to church.
Did you ever go to church and feel like the pastor prepared his message that morning, just for you? That is how this lesson lines up from you to me. I’ve been working on these three techniques all week. And then… here’s you video.
The stuff I’ve been playing seems to have the same sounds to it – just on different areas of the fret board. I play/practice the blues scales hoping to gain speed – a slow process, but it’s coming. While doing so, I find I’m creating my own style & sound by pausing here, bending there. At times I feel I’m not growing in my skills because, I keep all my practice stuff limited to a certain sound.
However, I played for my mom on mothers day (probably wasn’t her best MD gift ever) and she enjoyed. My wife says the same. “While you practice in the basement, yes you play the same stuff over and over. But now it’s sounding better. As if you are owning your own style,” she said.
Well, what I’m saying Griffer’ is; this lesson from you is perfect in it’s timing and contents. And possibly may spur other ideas for me to continue building on my own sound.
You are a wonderful man, Griffer. Kinda wish we were nieghbors :-)!

Hey Griff,
Fantastic stuff here. Thank you for doing this. It gets me motivated to practice. You are a great teacher.

Bet you never thought you’d be running a geriatric guitar service. lol I too am a rock n roll lifer. Started in the 60’s with my 1st elec. Gibson Melody Maker, cherry red w white wiggle stick, but like many aspiring players, I just wasn’t good enough to play in the band and was relegated to bass. Later discovered that I was really a drummer but always kept playing with hopes of getting good enough to play in public…..then along comes ole Griffy. Thank you sooooo much for reviving my talents!! I have ordered your course and anxiously await it’s arrival. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks again, Rick

Hi Griff, Art here. Been following your lessons on the Internet. Making out great. Thanks for your instrucions. Talk again soon. Art.
Thanks Griff for your great lessons. I\\\’m a gramma at 67 and going back to my guitar second youth. Haven\\\’t touched it in 40 years and it\\\’s like a new romance, different than the last one, but totally wonderful.

Now THAT’S what I was talkin’ about when I said I needed some more ‘technique’. GREAT lessons.
Now how about something on finger picking and hybrid picking?
Hey Griff, I am 36. I was taught a number of blues scales as a kid when I took lessons. Getting back into the grove again and enjoy the free videos. I will probably purchase the lessons as soon as I can afford them. I have to decide what comes first as all my equiptment is old and in need of replacement as well! I also enjoyed and purchased the “How To Recors My Guitar Series” which has also giving me alot tothink about!
Hey Griff,
Just a note to add to the many you get to say thanks for all your e-mail videos, they really do help take some of the mistery out of learning lead riffs.
I should add that I notice that you still have the Riffmaster pro web site as a recommended link from you here. I have informed you about the trouble they gave me, but I feel complelled to inform others not to buy it. I paid up and never received my serial number, which invalidated the purchase. My credit card got me a refund as something illegal was going on with the vendor. Not what I wanted as I wanted to use the software and frankly still do. You never replied to my concerns on this site. Has anyone else had this experience? What I don’t understand is why they didn’t respond to numerous e-mails I sent them asking for customer support, as all that I needed was the serial number to have been a happy buyer!
Phil
This is why I`ll never Buy online lessons……… Ya click`m and that
little wheel in the middle starts spinning and No Video comes through
the wheel keeps Spinning & Spinning……….. Thanks but No Thanks……..
Wal of the`RAPIDS` `CEDAR` that is………………………………………………………..
LATERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
just wanted to add my thanks. Your licks are making me look good and sounding smooth.
ps ..do you have any "pedal steel guitar" licks for guitar? some of those cadillac chords
again tytytyty

Griff, I\\\’m another guy ( responding to Aaron) late in the game coming up on 50. I bought your blues DVD( I\\\’m taking 2 weeks off to just mess with this holiday), had a Heritage made for me— which I\\\’m in love with and . So here\\\’s the deal. Those of us in or near our 50\\\’s are all very much in the 60\\\’s and 70\\\’s and on. I think our subconscious has the music back then burned in pretty well, we hear the magic. I really think we hear the notes and the riffs but we lack the ability to get there or think we do. It\\\’s not that we\\\’re not enthusiastic, but I \\\’m not convinced my fingers operate like a 14yr olds, or our brains, we\\\’re more impatient! Your teaching style is fantastic for us dudes. I see an opportunity here, or a newsletter. Heck if I could come down and jam with 20 other near 50\\\’s dudes and have fun doing it, i\\\’d buy my ticket tonight. Just a random idea. You and 25 students, two days and a load of laughs, every month or so…
best.
Hi Griff,
I have watched your free lessons now for almost a year. I don’t think I could add anything else that everybody hasn’t already said. However, To add to the learning experience of learning how to play the guitar better, I ran across a guitar that not only has the software that comes with the guitar. It has lights
on the neck that show you where to put your fingers. I thought maybe some of the people that watch your online free lessons might be interested in this new
type of guitar. It is a FRETLIGHT and you can buy a regular acoustic or a electric one Like the one I have. Copied after the Fender.
It is made by Opteck , and is made with quality materials. I am so impressed with it. It is not a cheep guitar. the price is about $400.00 – 900.00 like the one I have. I think with your lessons and the guitar I have I will go a long long
way. Thank you for very much. I will now go and Buy your lessons.
I will send you a video when I have completed a new original song.
Thank again, Aaron
Hi Griff,
Congratulations on the quality of your lessons.
I have received emails from you for some time now and most of them are excellent. Have been playing for more than 30 years (I put the guitar under the bed for a part of that time, you know marriage, kids and all that) and started playing again about 5 years ago.
I, like a lot of other people are too busy with our lives to be able to sit down and spend a lot of time playing and learning new techniques and that’s where your emails come to the party.
Each of your lessons is a new digestable chunk that you can overview and have a go at after dinner. Each one is a step to becoming a better player. It would have been great to have this material available when I was starting out. The only way back then was to meet and play with other guitarists that were at a higher standard than you and learn from them.
What you have done is use technology to fill the gap.
Well done.
Cheers Stamy
Cheers for all the stuff you send Griff, it is appreciated. I’m afraid that I too am in my fifties and only started learning to play guitar 2 & half years ago. What a great waste of my youth! The reason that I recently picked up the guitar for the first time is being inspired by all the ‘old bands’ from my youth that are still performing, I know I’ll never be that good but it’s great fun trying. You asked if the ‘lick’ in question reminded me of anything in particular, well there was a band in the seventies called Be Bop Deluxe, and Bill Nelson, the guitarist used licks like that in loads of his stuff. By the way I hope you enjoy your golden retriever, we’ve got one who’s nearly 12 and he’s great; wouldn’t want to be without him! Thanks again Keith
Hi Griff, the lesson is much appreciated, I was struggling a little bit. The lesson was well presented.You reaaly know how to teach and you know how to strut your stuff.The tips and tricks really helped me alot, I learned alot on my own as well,this really fills in the gaps.I always loved guitars,hearing them,playing them,watching others play.I am very greatful for every lesson I get, its helped me through my difficult time.
Amazin stuff….sorry it took these many years to learn it..
hav just ordered your course.thanks for the free lessons.i hav paid for all type of lessons for over 10 yrs and can play som.i too am in my 50s and learned what little i kno on my own.the lessons i paid for did not help.the free lessons are not only great,but they make me feel good about playing my 6 string girl , an most of all not playin the same thing over and over again, and get stuck, if u kno what i mean..thanks am waiting on your course
Griff,
Thanks for all the free lessons! You really know your stuff! I just turned 40 and i have been playing guitar for one year, i am finishing up grade 1 using the Mel Bay Modern Guitar Method. The method is really working for me! I want to let you know that i will be purchasing your blues guitar unleashed program soon. I know it will take me where i want to go when playing the blues. Just Thanks. Thanks for all you do for us!
Hi Griff , I’m 67 , just received my B G U course a few days a go , man I love it , like others I have been threw a lot of courses , finely just put the guitar away for some time , then I ran upon your course on you-tube , looked good so I decided to give it a try one more time , thanks to you I thank I can get going again , just looking over your course I already understand more than I did with all the other courses put together . Thanks : Milton
Hi Griff,
I’ve been your freebies, they’re great. Hope to purchase your Blues Unleashed at some point when I got a bit more in my piggy bank. Many thanks
Jim
Hi Griff, Your free lessons have already worked wonders on my general knowledge of my guitar playing. Have ordered bluesguitarunleashed and really looking forward to get even more inspired. Thanks ever so much for sharing . George
Wow! I feel like a puppy! I am only turning 49 on Friday! Love your videos. Thank you so much for making the blues a joy to play!
Superbly ilaluinmting data here, thanks!
Hey thanks for this comparison it's really helpful! Don't listen to the people that are saying it's a waste of time. If it's only one person that needs it then you should keep making them just to help that one person. Because in the end if it helps that one person its worth it.
cool, Deine Knöpfle gefallen mir.Mit Karotten, sehr fein. :-)Früher schlug ich den Teig auch immer von Hand,jetzt auch mit der Maschine, da blubbert der Teig auch wunderbar 🙂
Hi Griff. Like some of the other guys I too am in my 50s and picking up the guitar again after many years. I have spent hundreds pounds on lessons and got nowhere fast and as a result, became disillusioned with the whole thing. Then along came YOU. What a revelation. I am now totally inspired and will be puchasing the Unleashed course as soon as my finances allow. Thanks Griff, keep up the good work.
Hi Griff, Seems half of my generation, 50+, have picked up the guitar again after being dormid for many years.I have been absorbing all your free samples and just ordered bluesguitarunleashed. I favor my Acoustic but just picked up a vintage Les Paul and Marshall amp. Havin fun in Conroe Texas.
Mike
Hi Griff, Thanks for all you do…I just purchased the unleashed package…can’t wait to get the goods……turning 50 in a couple of weeks and I am re-learning here after putting it down for years….having fun too….maybe some of this will rub off on the kids……cheers and thank you……. Dave
Hi Griff , your emails alone have made me a better player , lessons arrived yesterday . Thanks . Sincerly , Paul Daly
I will turn 50 here is about a month. I have been fooling around with the guitar for a couple of years. I have tried out three different teachers with no real success. Additionally, I have purchased about 3 or 4 hundred dollars worth books and CDs. It has been pretty much all for naught because one of the key ingredients, i.e. fun, has just not been there so far.
I have had more fun fooling around with your free lessons over the past few days than I have had during the past couple of years. You really do have a talent for teaching the guitar. I am glad that you have found your place in the world.
Thanks for making the free stuff available. After I get the guitar budget up again I will likely buy your lesson program.
Best regards,
Wayne
