This one’s a little tough to name…
… but when you hear it, I think you’ll recognize it 🙂
It’s a super common idea with a lot of possibilities…
The way I played it is just one possible way you can play a blues with this riff…
And I’ll try and show you a few options later in the video.
It’s not a super long one and, as always, something that I hope you can put into practice right away.

Griff; this “roots” stuff is great and keeps me on track with the essentials. RB

I love this stuff😎
Robert Johnson could make that stretch on the B had huge hands like Hendrix
NICE basic , this works well fingerpicked as well
As a subscriber to blues unleashed it would be nice to have these videos that you produce on Friday available on your site if they are I haven’t found them yet and I really do enjoy everything that you do and you’ve really sparked my playing that I haven’t done it for a few years so I’m getting an hour of day of practice and it’s all because of that one video I saw free from you and your blues unleash course thanks again
If you are a member of the BGU forum, that are all listed under the “Griff’s email archive” area. You can also find them posted to the BGU Members’ Facebook group.
Thanks, Dennis… most all of the email lessons I send out are posted right here on the blog. If you go up to the navigation bar and click “Lessons” it will give you a list of them all in chronological order, and you can search them.
Also, I’ve found that, more often than not, good old Google can find my lessons faster than I can. Simple google something like, “Griff Hamlin mixing major and minor blues sounds” and you’ll likely get whatever you’re after.
Good lesson, Griff. Thanks!
Cool
Easy progression by effective
Thanks Griff, hope you’re enjoying the free state of Texas. I’m going to work on this today, I like the little flavor tips on the chords. Been working on chords and strumming for the last 6+ months( gospel, folk, etc..) due to my brother in law’s ( professional musician) encouragement to try something other than blues soloing. He was right it has helped my playing quite a lot. I’m glad I have a lot of your courses to help in that area of strumming and rhythms. Enjoy your day.
Very useful. Thanks
