There’s just no cool, fancy word I can come up with for today’s “move” and accompanying lick…
So I guess I’ll just have to show you how it goes 🙂

I’d call it “The slide down”
Thank you Griff for your insightful lesson. Some people are naturals, with their ear and don’t even need to read music to jump right in key. Others have to study / work at developing an ear. But timing and practice is the bridge we all must cross.

Ooh, you mean the AK slink, not so hard as most other SRV licks🎸
I got it ! Blues “down shift”…what do I win ?
Tweedily slide. 🤷♂️
Call it a Sliplet. Instead of tri-pl-et it’s sli-pl-et…
Cool — How’s: “Bend, with Triplet Hammer/Pull Descending Slide” lick…
Love your daily videos Griff.
Call the lick:
“A cool quickie to one.”
I know it sounds a bit like an Aussie beer commercial.
Hi..opps,on name! I like what Walter called it “AK descending slide”or mine”AK drift” ha..
Hi.. good deal, someone stole my 50th anniversary strat. deluxe (gold) hardware, inside job,do you work at FedEx..is that it, everyone says you have a new one..
Cool lick Griff. Appreciate how you explained the subtly of the delay. I shut my eyes and just listened while you played it straight and with the slight pause… my amateur ear picked up the difference
That’s great tip, have heard it often but never realized what was going on.
How about “box dropping’”
Great lesson. Don’t know how I missed this one before. You say to hang on the C a little longe, would considering the A to G to E move a 16th note triplet and the C before it an 8th note work better than trying to think of the four notes as a triplet?
again thanks for the great info. bill
Hey !
The “AK descending slide”.
This is definitely one of the 4 or 5 Albert King signature licks, IMHO. 😉
take care and blues on
Walt
Lost thanks any way
Well I’m only 3 days late with a suggestion here, but I’d call it the “boxcar”, as the boxes are linked like a train, and “boxcar” fits nicely into the whole blues theme….
How about calling that move the (back slider)? Thanks Griff, love the new axe.
Nice ‘Blues Drop’ Griff.
Drag-slide-glide
I’d called it the blues slip .you know when your walking and foot slip you know.
The new strat sounds sweet, and another great lesson
I call those “trail offs” because they seem to imply a downward direction but do not necessarily include a strong resolution with their last note.
I do not have a cool name for that move . Maybe fret slide walker . I like the new guitar complete with wear marks . I wonder if any personal history goes with it. The former owner stuff the who and when . The value must be staggering that type is sought after the most . Two guys I know were over last night for some guitar playing. Both had to play my Kramer focus 2000 a 80`s year . They love it a lot so do I. A Floyd rose and Seymour Duncans on it Hot rodded humbuckers . My Marshall amp may be the other reason it sounds amazing . Secret hot sauce could be in there for a name . ? Later on Griff
Why not calm it the succatash slide?
Slippery Slide
Here you go:
2 to 1 Slide
Box 1 Slide
Subtle Slide
Grace Note Slide
Super Slide
Funky Slide
Killer Slide
Master Slide
Whatta Slide
Sugar Slide
Sweet Slide
Articulated Slide
How about calling it “Ray-Wayne Pull-Off”. I appreciate your effort to teach timing nuances which I attribute to getting into the whole blues feeling. I found my years of listening to BB taught me that expression that somehow comes to you as you said on your brain via feeling. BB as he says, plays as if he is singing which takes great feeling as you link words to this action. Clear? Lol
Sweet! Your Suhr is already feeling jealous.
Slick move and slick new Strat. Very cool. Thanks. 🧢🕶💙
Thanks for laying out “why” and “when” before the how! It opens doors.
Hey griff, thanks for the lick. Appreciate the lessons. Did you put your new strat next to the bed so you could wake up looking at it😎. Enjoy your day.
So simple, yet so sweet. And the rhythmic subtlety you so clearly articulate IS the blues secret sauce. Thanks, Griff!
Must be the new Strat. Nice.
