This a faster, classic rock ascending lick focused on sixteenth notes, slurs (hammer-ons and pull-offs) and using the minor pentatonic scale (in C minor.)
You could also use this over a straight feel blues tune, but it’s the type of thing I hear more in rock music.
Wanna play the faster stuff? Start with things like this 🙂

Personally I’ve learned a lot from Griff. Most of what he teaches is over my head. But, you have to stretch your skills to grow.
I purchased BGU and a couple other courses over the past 10 years or so. In today’s economy I’m honestly surprised that the price is so low as it is for each course. I mean, $57’ each for several of his courses is what you would pay for a single lesson in person. Each free lesson he provides on YouTube is another way to learn something new.
Griff has a great teaching style that makes learning from him very easy. The Single Barrel Blues Band players are phenomenal. All in all, I’m sticking with Griff!
To Art-
We are all entitled to our own opinions but I can say that as far as blues teachers and lessons go, His lessons are absolutely worth it if your goal is to, well , learn to play the blues/rock on the guitar. He has a lot of sales as well. Griff is the best. His lessons are thorough and well thought out. They also will make you a better player as long as you put the time in.
you better be able to do it and i think your lessons are two eppensive i think you would seel more if they were a little less expensicve i know i would by some of yours as i have a couple of yours just my openion
Too expensive?????? Get real. If you want to learn something get it from Griff and stick with that lesson till you get it. You only pay once. Blues Guitar unleashed is incredible knowledge in only one course. If you are an average learner and actually practice Griff will take you from trivial playing to mediocre. If you stick with the lesson as taught you will rise above mediocre to good player. Unless you are gifted like some of the great players you are gonna get stuck unless you take more lessons. In fact Griff gives away for nothing some incredible lessons.
Too expensive?????? I don’t think so. Rev. Harm.
I have 3 courses. they really weren’t initially expensive. Now, I own them forever. (plus they come with a lot of other lessons) IRL guitar lesson, $50 a half hour. if I totaled up every hour i used the books and videos. some teacher would be wealthy, lol. Since you got this E-mail, you have received for FREE literally 100s and 100s of lessons. I know have in fact, i’m looking one right now 😉 Thanks Grif for the lessons
Forget about guitar lesson. You should take some basic spelling and grammar lessons.
Brilliant
.I have been waiting for something like this for a long long time – Thanks Griff
This was very helpful. There is a speed run like this in a Led Zeppelin song that I was practicing by picking each note. I didn’t think using the hammer ons and pull offs would make much of a difference when playing that fast. After this lesson I tried the zeppelin run and it was so much easier. Thank you Griff. Great lesson. Gary
Griff thanks so much for the inspiration. I do struggle with speed and this will certainly help.
