I seem to be able rock at improvisation! Even the band members have commented, how do you come up with this stuff! I don't really listen to a lot of blues but we have to remember that there are so many rock songs that are based off the blues themselves!

4 Note solo got me on the list a while ago, after checking out several others on line some good some quite misleading and bad.
Griff's teaching method is great, I can't fault any of his stuff.
I finally took the plunge last week and got 5 Easy solos and after trying it out I fully intend getting more courses.

I hate to sound repetitive, but it was definitely the 4 Note Solo that showed up on a sidebar on YouTube. Prior to that, I had decided to start trying to learn soloing at 63, I guess it was, so I bought another program that taught me what scales were, etc, but it was going too fast on a lot of the tutorials for playing and it lost me a lot. The 4 Note solo made me see Something was possible; then I wanted to see what else Griff had to offer. I got BGU and it took a while to get the other teaching style out of my head and get into Griff's. It wasn't long before I realized I had stepped into quicksand and got lost in that BGU as well as many other courses in his repertoire. It initially seemed a long row to hoe but is has come together and now I can entertain the heck out of myself for hours at a pop. I'm blessed to have come across the Griffster and thankful that he has chosen to continue to enlighten us all with his experience and knowledge.

Blues - it's in me and it's got to come out.
Welcome Eclecticwhyzas! I've always thought it is great to be around people of like mind. Especially if it's something in common we LOVE. We all LOVE Blues!
If you're so inclined, make you way over to the "Introduce Yourself" thread so you can get a proper welcome.
Playing Blues guitar certainly is entertaining!
See you down the road!

So I have finally made a decision! I want a Gibson Goddess. They were made for women. They have stopped production on these because they didn't sell as well as Gibson thought they would. The one I am looking at is $1500 CAD. If I am getting what I want and the quality that I want then price is really not important. They are slightly smaller and weigh in at about 7 pounds. That's a truck compared to my Parker at 3.5 pounds but I do love the sound.
Here is the Goddess I want. It has to be purple!

I am on the hunt for one as we speak. There was a young woman in the US that had 3 of them. I didn't realize then that I would want one now. I am on a mission and I won't stop until I find one! There is one on this planet somewhere. It's a quest now. That is my holy grail!

I have resigned myself to the fact that I might not be able to get the purple one I am after so I wouldn't mind the black one.

Are those carved top guitars?
See you down the road!

OMG I am in love with that guitar and it's black! 5K is just a tad too much of an asking price. If I did have the money I would buy it in a heart beat. That is just gorgeous! Thanks for the heads up. I have to count my blessings. I have two very beautiful guitars. I am very fortunate to have them. I would love this one to add to my collection. Boo hoo. I am drooling.!

I'll keep looking. I can't believe that all of these guitars are ridiculously expensive.......... I just thought you would like to see that one!
