Jimmy Page Style 4 Note Pulloffs

Hey Griff,

I have spoken about your course to a few collegues,mentioning also that you mentor us via email with videos and tips,just the other day I recieved your email talking about memorizing the notes on the fretboard fret 1 thru 12,i thort it was impossible,but man your technigue is awesum,this guy has been playing for over 20 years and he caint remember the notes,he tried giving me a procedure to go about it,but it was to difficult to follow,so i mentioned your idea, Anyway it took me a lot longer about 20mins to memorize c and g,i understand the importance of this,also i listened to AC/DC BACK IN BLACK,a whileback i received another of your most important emails about TABS AND U TUBE,how you waste so much time,song hunting,i fell into that trap very frustrating,you also mention picking up the songs etc by ear,well,i always wanted to play that cover, i listened you were right.,i can hear some of the notes he plays in the intro,a bit more and shud have the song.

Ohh Griff thanks for supporting us via email you have a excellant product and support,i dont think anyone else does this

thanks man

Dionlee

Thanks Griff, it sounds great slow and fantastic speeded up.

Thanks Grifff absolutely fascinating stuff very well explained too

Very cool Griff !

home grown bud ,smokin !later .

Excellent, thank you master!

Thanks Griff, cooool stufffff.

Thanks Griff, sloww is still all I'm able to do. Still recovering from broken fret hand/fingers/nerve damage. However this is great therapy! Rock on!

Do you recommend a picking direction? i.e. Down-up-dow , vice versa

Thanks Griff - and thanks for your course, which is terrific and great value for money.

Thanks Griff .... invaluable stuff as always

Yikes seeing is how i am a beginner this seems really hard, so for you guys who have been

playing a long time its a baby step that you have mastered a long time ago. Great riff for

even the beginner.. thanks for sharing

thats great. thanks Griff.

yeah i knew this but honestly only used to end some songs , you absolutly correct Griff lots of guitarist stole it from one another .just diffrent tempos right hummm an keys tooooo

Very nice , I appreciate all your free tips ! Tnx alot !

very nice....thank you...keep those valuable tips coming !!!

Thanxxx...I needed this ...

Griff
If you bar this riff it is easier and faster to play give it a shot.

Okay you have just totally convinced me...

I love you man !

NICE LICKS ON "UTUBE"

Excellent .. Just what I needed after many years of playing one string lead for a 4th rate band.

Kool Kool very intriguing but too busy to play now.

Griff thanks so much for all the great time and effort you have contributed to try and promote us and make us all better guitar players.we really appreciate you and what you are trying to achieve.It really touches me to know there are still people like you around and i hope you will be abundantly blessed for the tremendous effort and work offered to date,i salute you.

You have got to be the best guitar player to have ever walked this earth.I look forward to your lessons in my email and I can't wait to try them. I started to play as a means of physical therapy, following an eight year battle with Guillian-Barre Syndrome, that left my pinkie and ring fingers on both hands twisted and almost useless. However after subscribing to your website I am rapidly regaining my flexibility on both hands. Thank you Griff Hamlin and may God bless you.

Thank you so much for this clip. Most people just want to sell their teaching ideas. Thanks for giving us some tricks free.

HI GRIFF I LOST MY E MAILS RECENTLY MORE IMPORTANTLY YOUR E MAIL I SAVED THAT WERE NOT ON THE BGU DVD LIKE THE LITTLE WING LESSONS AND OTHERS THAT I CANT RECALL NOW CAN YOU SEND THE LITTLE WING ONES AGIAN AND ARE YOU GOING TO COVER TRIPLETS I WOOD LIKE TO SEE THAT

thanks
Ray

so much cool stuff and so little time

WELL DETAILED AS USUAL

Nice one i am working on the solo number 3 now so you know what i mean, smooth....
Thanks a lot for the course Griff

Thanks. I can now easily figure out where this fits into Jimmy's lead in "The Lemon Song."

Having a cool time building up my speed (accurately) on this one, Griff. Thanks

A little trick I've found is to cover both E and B strings with the index finger and 'roll' it between the 2 strings.

Griff your emails are amazing . . i haven't even bought anything off u and you keep sending out `all this content

good karma for you and thanks!

I can see I need to be checking your tips on a regular basis. Thanks for giving us the refreshing tips.

Hey Griff,
You sent this a while ago but i'm just getting to it and it's great. I really love learning the licks. Thanks a bunch.

Griff, can you give a lesson on how to play Hot Dog by Led Zeppelin?I have found plenty of sights of guitarists that can play it,but not one that can show how to play it.Thanks....

You've helped me mature alot over the last several months. one heck of an instuctor. thanks and keep 'em coming

Hi Griff, as a newcomer I have a question about Riffmaster pro. I have already a software Programme which slows down videos/ audio.But is Riffmaster pro going to be any help to a beginner ? It slows down the music Audio so you can follow the Chords notes being played. But as a beginner I cannot tell which notes are being played even if there played slowly, so do you think this is going to help me or should i give it a pass.

I agree with Rich S, theres plenty of cheep guitars that will get the job done, it's more what the guitarest can do to get that blues sound, If you tune your guitar a half step down you'll get easier bends and a mellow blues sound thats easy to bar cord , this will make you want to pick up that guitar more often. Ken

Griff
I see that you have two old guys ,trying to learn the Blues, one age 62 but I have him beat .I am 78 trying to learn the blues it dont get any better at this age either
But both of us will keep trying .

So keep up the good work,an I will keep trying

Sorry to hear of your plight, man. I don't know how much you can spend, but probably the cheapest thing to do to get an axe and amp is to buy a Squier or even the one below a Squier I think its about $99 and an amp will run you about the same. Just look on Guitar Center's site. The cheap stuff is out there. Good Luck

griff, you are a great teacher!! i just ordered the "blues unleashed"
cant wait. i recently re-united w my guitar after a 40 yrs of no play!
your e-mails are taken w much appreciation.

I ordered your system and have been very pleased with the influence its givin me on building up my own tunes. But recently Ive had my axe and all my gear ripped off ! I do have a beat up old Carlo Robelli acoustic I call glued and screwed because it is literally glued and screwed together and doesnt stay in tune very well. anyway, its very difficult for me to try and practice with. I have had surgery on my neck, c2 to c7 a week ago and im usually in a lot of pain. therefore trying to play my beat up bent acoustic aint happnin. to much pain. Anyway, playing my old Tele through an old twin reverb would help take the pain away by taking my mind off it through creating music. If you, through all the folks im sure you know have any idea were i can find a straight electric rig without having to spend a fortune ( which not being able to work for several more months ) Being cash poor, could maybe hook me up with someone who can work with me on finding a deal. aint gotta be pretty, just straight. Any direction or help getting me back into natures medication (music) would be a trumendus help. I pretty much play for myself, only really wanting to write tunes. I pretty much keep to myself and dont get out much. My music is my medication weather Im happy,mad or depressed. I have been diagnosed as a by poler manic depressive. I apoligize for laying my crap on you, but if you have any ideas how I could get back on track it would mean more to me than you could ever know. Playing is my therapy. Thankyou for introducing me to your program. I hope to get back to practicing soon. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, sincerely Jay Rousseau (The Rythm of Lifes Noble Savage)

Great lick. My greatest hurdle is seeing the ease behind some of these licks. Griff, you always explain this great!!

Another day; another lick...

The 5th & 8th frets were written on the 6th & 5th string.
The 7th fret is on the right string
Shouldnt the 5th frest be on the 1st string &
8th & 5th frets be written on the 2nd string?
To coinside with your finger movements.

Shaka Bra, thats going to add some great speed to some really cool licks. Had to take a bit of time off, ( life stuff ) but when I came back. I realized how fast you have taught me to play. I even have been told buy a shreders wife, man, Alex is getting good quick!!! That really blew my mind, cause this guy is way good. Now when I listen to the thousands of rifts that I know by heart, and realize I can do that, cause it\'s not that hard, thanks to you Griff!!!!! P.S. Nice Telecaster, I\'ll play this lick on mine, later, Alex.

I like it, but I fail to understand how it sounds like Page's material.

Hi Griff, still waiting hopefully for information on ragtime guitar lessons and or teacher online.

Thanks for the useable tidbit. Every little bit helps.

Just go the video!

I don't see the video...just the tab.

Great tip Griff (as always). Instead of moving the first finger, isn't it easier (and faster) to "roll" your first finger from the E to B strings? Basically a moving bar. I think Bob Murnahan introduced me to this. Or is there an advantage to do it the way shown in the video?
Craig

great lesson
simple ye t effective
cheers!!!

A little confused, I have something called the three-string box postion that I have been practicing for a while now, it is one complete page of notation showing positions starting with 3 through the last one starting with 15 then back to 1.

It shows the box you have, Blues Block (BB)#1. However it has different notes in it. I Guess it is because mine is shown in the Box Pos, shown in F pent min and the one shown for the eight fret is somewhat diffetent than mine. So, I have to assume that there are many many box positions out there that I have not discovered yet.

I really like your internet lessons and your music, is it possible to show me your box positions?

I have the one with this lesson but that is the only one I can find. I have been looking for some time for them and all I find are leads to things I do not really want to buy right now. Thanks, any help will be appreciated. Gene

This 4 note solo has brightened my day. You certainly make life easier for all your students. Thanks Mate on behalf of your Aussie students. Peter.

Thanks Griff , another cool yet simple lick !

Music is Magic, Colours and Mathematics.............plus Imagination and experiense. or what

Griff,
You've done it again.
You take the most simple licks and make them hot.
I listened to Keb Mo last night and he was playing this incredible lick.
It's three notes + one !
You rock. Thanks again for the lesson and FREE IS GOOD.

Looks like Griff got a new Tele...... Sweeeeet.

Griff
You know you are an excellent teacher
As usual you explain everything as " plain as water"

Thank you for all your tips on playing guitar , it has help me a lot
xcuse my English

Have a nice summer
Kalle
ps
look forward to your next mail

Hi Griff ! that's cool ! but not attractive ! thx for all !

Unfortunately, no video is coming up. I'm sure you'll get this fixed. I love all your tips.

Simple and effective. Cool!

Nice very nice..I thrash my axe its always nice to kick it down to learn a better way maybe...?

Great as always. Keep on getting stuff for me I love it.

Thanks for taking the time to share these tips. I am 62 years old and have only been playing for a year. These tips help an old guy get alot better. Hey, I don't have alot of years left and I need all the help I can get.
Thanks
John

Great tip Griff... keep them coming.
I also loved your \"Soloing Without Scales\" the 4 note solo course, it\'s full of good stuff.

Again Great Job,

My interest went up when I saw Page mentioned, but there is no video in Firefox or Internet Explorer.

I'll try Safari on Mac.

Another home run guitar tip Griff! I've been playing that lick for years and could never figure out how to speed it up... watching your video just once and then practising the technique has doubled my speed and given me a whole new sound to work with all the way up the neck.

Excellent tip as usual. Many thanks ! Brian in England

Griff - is there any reason to avoid using a barre at the 5th fret on the 1st and 2nd strings. That way the 2nd string E 5th fret is already in position for the pull off.

Okay - it shows up now - disregard my last post...

I see the TAB - but no video.

@Melvin - All the previous tips/lessons are listed along the right hand side of the browser. Browse around because there's lots of cool stuff in there.

Perfect Griff. That fits perfectly with my style since I've always had trouble switching to alternate picking mid-riff (can't re-sync my fingers like that). Another quick and simple tip that will take people a long way.

Great tip. Thank for sharing.
Is there a web site that I can see prior tips that have been given?
Thanks, Melvin Nash
