"I've Been Playing Guitar For 30 Years... Why Can't I Play a Single Blues Song All The Way Through?"

If You've Ever Felt Frustrated Trying to Learn "Real" Blues Songs That Sound Authentic But Are Just Too Damn Hard... This Is For You

Here's the truth nobody wants to admit:

You can strum a few chords. You know some basic progressions. Maybe you can even play a simple song or two.

But when you try to learn a real blues song—something by Robert Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins, or even Eric Clapton's acoustic stuff—it's like hitting a brick wall.

The tabs you find online are wrong. The rhythms make no sense. Your fingers can't stretch to those chord shapes. And half the time, you can't even tell when the notes are supposed to happen.

So you give up. Again.

And you go back to playing the same three chords you've been playing for years, wondering if you'll ever sound like a real blues player.

I've seen this happen hundreds of times...

Students come to me after playing guitar off and on for 20, 30, even 40 years. They love blues music. They want to play blues. But every song they try is just out of reach.

Not because they lack talent.

Not because they're "too old" or "too slow."

But because nobody ever taught them the ONE thing that makes blues guitar actually learnable:

How to count.

Here are the 5 songs you'll learn:

Song #1: Road Song
An 8-bar blues in the style of the classic standard "Key to the Highway." This song teaches you the foundational structure that hundreds of blues songs are built on.

Song #2: Honey Pie
A "thump-style" blues where the low E string thumps along in quarter notes while the melody dances over top. This is traditional acoustic blues at its finest—and students tell me they never thought they'd have the coordination to play this style until they learned it with my counting method.

Song #3: Whiskey and Wine
A slow, soulful blues in Eric Clapton's acoustic style. Perfect for those moments when you want to play something with real feeling and emotion.

Song #4: Last Train Home
A beautiful ballad that's a bit of a departure from traditional blues—more gospel or country in nature. Great chords, gorgeous melody, and a nice change of pace.

Song #5: Uncle Lonnie's Porch
Inspired by the great Lonnie Johnson, this song is in the key of G and uses what I call my "playing on the porch" style—a call-and-response approach where the chord is the call and the lick is the response. It's the perfect song to play on a lazy Sunday morning with your coffee.

Want to hear what these songs actually sound like?

Good question.

Most people think a song is "difficult" because it requires fast fingers or complex techniques.

That's not it at all.

In fact, many "easy" songs are played at fairly fast tempos.

The real difficulty comes from rhythmic complexity.

Those old blues masters played phrases with syncopations, off-beats, and rhythmic figures that are almost impossible for a newer player's ear to understand.

You can't count them out. You can't slow them down and figure out what's happening. Your brain just can't latch onto the pattern.

With 5 Easy Acoustic Blues Songs, I've removed that barrier.

Here's what makes these songs actually playable:

1. Simple, Straightforward Rhythms
Nothing faster than an eighth note (unless the tempo is really slow). No complex syncopations that your ear can't follow. You can count every phrase, slow it down as needed, and actually understand what's happening.

2. Standard Tuning Only
Many classic blues songs use open tunings—which means you'd have to completely retune your guitar. Not with these songs. Everything is in standard tuning, so you can pick up your guitar and start playing immediately.

3. Accessible Chord Shapes
No big stretches. No impossible fingerings. No huge jumps between chords. These songs use chord shapes that beginning and intermediate players can actually handle.

4. My Counting Method Built Into Every Lesson
This is the secret sauce. I walk you through every single note, beat by beat, counting out loud so you understand exactly when each note happens.

Let me give you an example...

Let me show you exactly what I mean. Here's a clip from the course where I'm teaching the turnaround in Road Song, counting every beat out loud:

See how that works?

You play along with me, counting out loud, and suddenly what seemed impossible becomes... doable.

That's what one of my students, Dave from Virginia, discovered:

"I'm on Song #2, and I am enjoying this course immensely. Griff has really made these tunes easy to learn. I never thought I'd have the coordination to play a blues song with a 'thump' bass line, but here we are. I'll be playing these on the porch in no time (or at least when the weather gets nicer)."

Dave didn't think he could play that thump bass line in Honey Pie.

But because I made him count it out loud in the video, he got it.

And if Dave can do it, so can you.

This isn't just a collection of tabs or a few quick tutorial videos.

This is a complete, structured learning system designed to take you from "I can't play blues songs" to "I've got 5 authentic blues songs I can play anytime, anywhere."

Here's exactly what you're getting:

7+ Hours of Detailed Video Instruction

Every song is broken down into sections—the melody, the solo, and the reprise.

For each section, I walk you through every single note, every chord change, every rhythmic figure... with my counting method built right in.

You'll see exactly what I'm playing with on-screen TAB, and you'll hear me count out loud so you know exactly when each note happens.

The video player remembers where you left off, so you can pick up right where you stopped—even if that's days or weeks later.

Play-Along Tracks at Multiple Speeds

For each section of each song, you get:

- Super slow play-alongs so you can practice at a comfortable pace
- Full speed play-alongs so you can build up to performance tempo

Plus, you get slow and full-speed play-alongs for each complete song.

These aren't just backing tracks—they're me playing the song so you can play along and absorb all the subtle nuances that can't be written down in notation.

The feel. The timing. The little details that make blues sound like blues .

Complete TAB - On-Screen and Printable

Every note of every song is tabbed out for you.

You'll see the TAB on-screen during the videos, so you can follow along as I play.

Plus, you get a complete PDF manual with all the TAB, so you can print it out if you prefer having it on paper next to you while you practice.

MP3 Recordings of All 5 Songs

You get high-quality MP3 recordings of each complete song.

Listen to them in your car. Listen while you're doing dishes. Listen while you're walking the dog.

The more you listen to these songs away from your guitar, the faster you'll learn them when you sit down to practice.

Your ear will already know what's coming, and your fingers will follow much more easily.

Advanced Video Player Features

The member portal video player isn't like YouTube. It's designed specifically for learning guitar:

- Set loop points to repeat specific sections over and over
- Adjust playback speed to slow down or speed up any section
- Compatible with Vidami foot controller so you can control the video with your feet and keep your hands on the guitar
- Download everything to your computer so you never lose access

Lifetime Access - Stream or Download

You can stream the course from any device with an internet connection—your computer, tablet, or even your phone (though a bigger screen is better for seeing the TAB).

Or download everything to your local computer and keep it forever.

No subscription. No recurring charges. You pay once, and it's yours for life.

Look, I've been teaching long enough to know that most guitar players don't practice effectively.

They pick up their guitar, turn on some jam tracks, and noodle around for an hour. Then they wonder why they're not getting better.

That's not practicing. That's just playing.

Real practice is focused, intentional, and honestly... a little mentally taxing.

Here's how I recommend you approach this course:

Step 1: Watch and Listen First (No Guitar)

Before you even pick up your guitar, watch the entire video for a song.

Just watch. See what you're going to be learning. Get a sense of the structure, the feel, the overall vibe.

Then listen to the MP3 recording of the song. Multiple times.

Listen in your car. Listen while you're making breakfast. Listen while you're doing yard work.

Get that song in your head so your ear knows what's coming.

This step alone will cut your learning time in half.

Step 2: Practice in Focused 15-20 Minute Sessions

When you sit down with your guitar, focus on ONE section at a time.

Watch my video breakdown. Count along with me out loud. Then use the super slow play-along to practice that section.

Count out loud while you play. Don't skip this step—it's the whole point.

Do this for 15-20 minutes, and then take a break.

Real, focused practice is mentally exhausting. If you're doing it right, you'll be tired after 15-20 minutes.

That's good. That means you're actually learning.

If you want to practice for an hour, break it into three 15-20 minute chunks with breaks in between. You'll learn way more than trying to power through for 60 minutes straight.

Step 3: Build Up Speed Gradually

Once you've got a section down at the super slow speed, move up to the full-speed play-along.

Don't rush this. It's not a race.

Some sections might take you a few days. Some might take a week. That's completely normal.

The video player's loop function is your best friend here—set it to repeat the tricky part over and over until your fingers know what to do without thinking about it

That depends on you.

Some students have better natural rhythm. Some played an instrument when they were younger and already know how to count. Some practice more consistently than others.

But here's what I can tell you:

When this course first launched, I had students posting videos of themselves playing these songs within the first week or two.

Most students can learn each song within a few weeks if they follow my practice recommendations.

And remember—even if you only learn ONE of these songs, you'll have accomplished something real.

You'll have a complete, authentic-sounding blues song that you can play anytime someone hands you a guitar.

At a party. At a music store when you're trying out guitars. On your porch on a Sunday morning.

You'll finally have something cool in your back pocket.

Sure. You can.

And I can tell you from nearly 40 years of teaching experience: those tabs are almost never correct.

The fingerings are wrong. The chord voicings are off. And worst of all, the rhythms are written so badly that you have absolutely no chance of playing the song correctly.

But here's the real problem:

Even if you find decent tabs, they don't solve your fundamental issue.

You still won't know when the notes happen. You'll still have no framework for understanding the rhythm. You'll still be guessing and hoping your ear can figure it out.

And if you've been struggling with blues songs for years, your ear clearly can't figure it out on its own.

That's not a criticism—it's just reality.

95% of guitar students have no sense of time or rhythm because nobody ever taught them how to count.

I've looked at thousands of instructional videos from other YouTube teachers over the past 20 years.

Not one of them teaches counting.

I'm the only one who does this.

So yes, you can find free tabs online. But you won't find what you actually need: a teacher who will walk you through the rhythm, beat by beat, counting out loud, until you finally understand how blues timing works.

If you can strum a few chords and put them together, you're good enough.

That's it. That's the bar.

These songs are called "easy" for a reason. They're designed specifically for beginning and intermediate players who are frustrated because everything else is too hard.

Look, I've had students who "never thought they'd have the coordination" to play a thump bass line. Then they learned Honey Pie using my counting method, and suddenly they could do it.

If Dave from Virginia can learn these songs, so can you.

Then don't learn all 5.

Learn one.

Even if you only learn ONE song from this course, you're getting incredible value.

Think about it: if you came to me for private lessons to learn just one of these songs, it would probably take you two months of weekly lessons.

At $50-60 per half-hour lesson, that's $400-500 to learn ONE song.

And you wouldn't get a guarantee. You couldn't loop the videos. You couldn't slow things down and practice at your own pace.

For $77, you get 5 complete songs, 7+ hours of video instruction, all the play-alongs, all the TAB, and lifetime access.

Even if you only learn one song, it's still an incredible deal.

Let me put this in perspective.

My private students would spend about 6 months with me learning this material on a weekly basis.

At $100 per week, that's $2,600.

Plus, they wouldn't get any sort of guarantee. They couldn't go back and loop the videos as many times as they want. They couldn't slow things down when they need to.

So getting this complete course—all 7 hours of video, complete TAB, audio play-alongs, and lifetime access—for $77 is kind of a no-brainer.

But here's what I really want you to think about:

Most of my students are in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. They've been playing guitar off and on for 30 or 40 years.

They played in their teens and twenties, then put the guitar away for jobs and families. Now they're coming back to it.

For them, time is the most valuable thing they have.

$77 isn't going to make or break anybody financially.

But waiting another year—or another two years—to finally be playing better?

That's a terrible price to pay.

You've already lost decades. Why lose any more time?

The complete course is just $77.

This is a one-time payment, NOT a subscription.

You pay once, and you get lifetime access to everything:

✓ 7+ hours of detailed video instruction
✓ All 5 complete songs broken down section by section
✓ My unique counting method built into every lesson

It's easy to tell yourself, "I'll come back to this later."

But let me ask you something:

How long have you been saying that?

How many years have you been playing the same three chords, wishing you could play something that sounds like real blues?

"Someday" never comes. You know that.

Most of my students have been playing off and on for 30 or 40 years. They've lost decades putting things off, waiting for the "right time" to really commit to getting better.

Don't let that be you.
