These last few days we’ve been talking a lot about “acoustic” blues, in the sense that it’s blues you play by yourself – and not with a band…
But I really want to emphasize that these skills are just as useful on an electric guitar – with a band – as they are without!
In fact, in some ways, this might help your band playing (soloing instead of solo…) as much or more than just about anything else you can do.
So check out this video, it’s not real long, and see what I mean:

1st ….I’m mostly ol’ country but often at jams (Texas,AZ,MI Okla,Northen Ontario) somebody will start a blues….always well received…I feel if you transcribed what you are doing in this lesson it wud be very helpful to players to develop blues licks….they shud bea complete time thru
Great lesson. There must be hundreds if not thousands of us out here who never comment but have benefitted from your courses and daily lessons. I retired from my business career but after putting in a short time of serious effort to practice (and put your concepts to work) I now play in two bands, one of which had its first real gig a few weeks ago – a multi-band night where the crowd loved us to the extent we were invited back to the venue as we left the stage for the next band to set up. The grind of all the counting and practicing the boxes was worth every minute.
Definitely is always giving guitar lessons that if practiced will only make us better musicians/guitar players
You make it look easy and within reach of achieving. It is a very inspirational video.
After purchasing several of your blues products I have reached the conclusion that you are truly a master at teaching blues guitar.
I really appreciate your lessons. Because
They help you be yourself, there not a pressured type note for note lesson.
Its the basic type of thing thats a relaxing
Feeling. Where its easy to inject your own.
Licks . Once you get the timing down.
Look forward, for your emails each day.
I haven’t purchased anything yet .but will be doing so very soon. Mainly because of the knowledge you have already sent me for free

Thanks Griff, really appreciate you taking the time to give us these daily lessons and tips. Enjoy your day.
Hey @Griff — can you post links to the others in the video series you are referring to? Somehow I have seemed to miss the others. Looks and sounds great!
Steven,
I agree. I was wondering the same.
Where did these licks,etc. Griff
refers to in the video come from? HaveK
you had any response to your question?
My name is Don Stallings and I’m
In Phoenix, AZ. It’s always nice to see
the various comments and questions
about the different lessons from fellow
guitar fans.
Thank you Sir!
Great lesson Griff, Totally enjoyed this one. Played the heçk out of it. We all did as it went around the circle, good fun!
Thanx again
You are so talented all I can do is say wow! What would be great to show is a clip from your “play acoustic jam alone program” and then play the same initial clip on the electric as a comparison. It would show so much to remove any thought that it is for acoustic only etc.
Nice. Enjoy these lessons alot.
I have really enjoyed this series of videos. The new series is a great course as well. Thank you for including that in your course list.
Griffin, your lessons are the best on the web. I learn something new with everyone! Thanks so much 👍
Most all the Blues players switched from Acoustic to electric long ago. When I am learning something I may play the acoustic or electric guitar. This course is that for me just learn it on the acoustic then at times jam it out on the electric guitar out on the porch.
thanks so much!! my eyes and fingers REALLY opened up to this !!!!
