Back in October, my friend Bob Murnahan and I did a live clinic here in So. Cal. Here’s a clip of us jamming for a while during that show. Check out Mr. Spunk burning it up at about 7:20 in… you never knew he had it in him 🙂

A destiny of of what you coherent is supprisingly true and that makes me contemplate why I hadn’t looked on this with this ignite more willingly than.

“If Clapton heard this he may want to practice more than bends!”
Agreed…that was my first thought…excellent playing!!!
WOW, hope to do that someday. Loving the blues more and more every time. Thank you so much for all that you do. You guys are just wonderful. Love it.
Hey Griff you play as good as you teach. As the Germans say “fantastisch klingen” you took me to another place. Thanks, Aussie/ Kiwi Kit.
The sound every beginner dream of….
How cool is this – as a newbie, if I can achieve just a bit of this then I will be happy. Great stuff.
that’s as cool as you wanna be.
WOW!! How cool is that!!
Ireally injoyed the clip guys. sounds like sweet Jazz
very smooth….
awsome guys!
So effortless – you guys make it look so easy !!! The feel and and groove is just brilliant.
Love you guys – and the drummer lays down the trail so well.
Inspiring…but I don’t have time…on this earth…to get there.
oh my oh my.. in my best dreams i am playing like that lol.. awesome! : )
Love this style of jazzy blues (or bluesey jazz..:-) You guys were smokin that day.. Would like to hear more!
fyi the volume on the recording is quite low…had the speakers on my pc cranked and couldnt hear it that well…
I want to trash my guitar and just buy your Cd now. That was stellar.
Well that was just a great jam session,loved it what a rush
Were can I buy your bands cd? If Clapton herd this he may want to practice more than bends 😉
What make and model of the guitar of the guy on the the left. (not the base guitar)
FAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I listened to Clapton crossroads 2010 last night he had nothing on you all!!!! Great piece.
Good guitar playing—you can show your skill and speed—but too jazzy for me. I prefer the Delta Blues—Robert Johnson, Son House, Ledbelly, Lightening Hopkins, Brownie and Sunny, Blind Lemon, T-bone, Buka, John Hurt, et al.
I’ve always loved the blues but was never able to play it. Too old now (77) and fingers are stiff. Hardly ever pick up my J-50 Gibson anymore, and then only to strum.
I sang in highschool, the Marine Corps, and at FSU in 1956. A fellow named Chic Thompson notice me on freshmen talent night at FSU in Sep56 and signed me to a recording contract. Cut a record at the Owen Bradley studio—a song called “Somebody’s Been Rocking My Baby” with “Old Man Mose” on the flip side. Hank Garland and the Anita Kerr singers were leading the session. I was trying to cash in on the rock and roll craze but it never happened. Sold enough records—Detroit, Buffalo and Hartford to cover our costs. Then went back to school and finished my BA degree in Business. Bought 80 acres 8 miles from the steps of the Florida Capitol, rased 5 kids,19 grandkids and one great grand kid. Lots of baby-sitting now but it’s been and is a good life. My only regret is never learning to play the blues.
Happy Day and Semper Fi, rw
There’s nothing like the blues with a groove. Damn fine man, damn fine!!!! You have any CD’s besides lessons published?
Only one word for it Griff. COOL.
superb, really super.u guys really compliment each other!

LOVE IT>
Griff I must hand it to you guys, man you put the funk in that jam and the stank on the blues. Man can’t wait until i’m as good as you and I know with your course I will be on my way to laying it down like you do.

Very tastey! Walter Becker-meets-Robben Ford in the alley at 3 in the morning kind of thing, both packing a strat….

A perfect example of what playing is all about. Having fun.
Really…who wouldn’t like to accomplish what you guys have! Loved the sounds of the guitars, exactly
what amplification,effects set ups do you guys have? What brand guitars are those? That’s the kind of
music I like to listen to and am trying to play. I’m pratcising with the online vids when I have a chance,
( work shift work) don’t have a whole lot of time. I use some of the blues chords with my gospel music too.

hey griff that was a nice video, great tone and real tasteful clean playing, i am a country music artist, lead singer/ rhythm player{acoustic} mainly i just got your dvd lessons and look forward to them , you explain the guitar better and more completely than anyone i have ever studied under, while in nashville i took lessons from former lead player and band leader for ricky nelson{denny sarokin} i learned alot from him fingerpicking wise and look forward to developing whatever soloing prowess i can obtain with the blues from you , thanks a million and look forward to your e- mails, stay safe, in him , buddy crabtree
i picked you from our studio site, thanks for showing some of the little things that help all players to improve the imprave,looking forward seeing more of that when I have a litte more time , thanks again from thunder ridge studio!
I JUST BOUGHT BLUES UNLEASHED LESSONS . I CAN ALREADY HANDLE A GUITAR NOT BAD, BUT BOY I’M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO LEARNING ALL I CAN FROM YOU. AWSOME GRIFF!!!!! AND THANKS JIM
Nice jam! I hear some ” Black magic Woman” & “The Thrill is Gone” mixed in there!
I had no idea what I was going to find on here (linked from facebook), but I was pleasantly surprised by this video. Nice jam! Both guitars were good but the guy on the left has a real voice to his playing. Very supportive drummer too. That was not a bad way at all to spend a random 8 minutes.
really well composed,great jam!
Awsome, Griff!!! "Help the Poor", one of my favorite tunes. It took me a moment to recognize it! Recently ordered Blues Guitar Unleashed and am enjoying your approach. Thanks.
wow
that was excellent.you guys are awesome 😉
Just blew me away!!!!Superb.
I knew there was a reason I signed up with both of you to learn to play guitar!
Griff and Bob, you are not only great teachers… you guys know how to really jam!!!!
Thanks for the motivation!
Hi Griff ,
Just watched the jam , very impressed , loved the cool jazzy passages you both played . I’m a drummer also I liked the player you had , he had a nice relaxed style and did some tasteful fills. Just waiting for the blues dvd course to arrive .
Best wishes
Rob Green ( Adelaide ) South Australia .
I am so jealous. This truly makes me want to practice til I drop.
Wayne
All I can say is WOW!
I would like echo Cyberthrasher comments
Your BBG course has made be a better player in such a short period of time. I realize there is so much to learn, but I can’t actually believe the stuff I am playing now.
I think anyone that is serious about blues guitar at any level could learn an awful lot from your courses
Dan from Dallas.
Hey man, that was so cool. You guys really inspire me to keep practicing.
Griff,
That is some smokin guitar playin !!!

Griff it has always been my pleasure to here good music and you guys were tight on that occassion, sorry I missed the one Nov. 14th, prior enguagement. The offer remains open, if you want to try out one of the 50 or so, let me know. I COULD USE SOME FEEDBACK ON SOME OF THESE TELE COMBINATIONS I’M work n on, or you can play the guitar hero’s guitar, Marc signed the front for me, and those two custom Taylors would be my best guess. I got THE EDGE’S 76 Exploader, and a few other artists guitars, when can I have one of yours? lol You take care my friend, wishing you and yours a very merry christmas and a happy new year.

Man-o-man…Am I sorry I missed your Clinic! I had to bow out at the last minute! I am looking forward to your DVD or CD…soon, I hope.

Verrry tasty… i’ve been looking for the best instructor on the web, and picked Griff. And even tho i havent gotten the course materials yet, just using the promo stuff, free lessons, and clips like this have improved my playing (by lots) and made me feel like i already got my money’s worth. you guys are tits.
What a delightful performance, thank you for sharing.
fantastic! I can only wish to play this well some day.
Keep on sending the great videos.
cheers
John

Well don guys! I wish I was there.
Dave
