Best Guitar Teacher on the Web, great lesson. BTW- any discount on the acoustic DVD lessons for repeat buyers? I bought the BGU unleashed for electric. Great stuff!

Thanks,

Dave

I’m anxious to see (and print) the tab for this. (I already printed out the E Minor Blues scales from DVD 3.)
Hopefully you’ll get this to us soon (before I forget about this!)

Thanks Griff. Visually I’m picturing this lesson as box 1 in “zero” position, meaning the index finger being replaced by the nut or open string. Oddly enough it visually comes easier by using the last three fingers as I would if that box 1 were played on the fifth fret. I’m probably not making sense at this point. None the less, great lesson. Thank you for all you do.

This is great stuff. I think I will learn this one all the way through and really have a blues song in my repertoire. I am very picky when it comes to the blues and a lot of it I am not crazy about, but the ones I do like I am really crazy about. I never heard this song before, I don’t think, but I think it will be well worth learning.
The other day’s video where a lot of people spoke about the pinkie finger stretching was very interesting. Everyday I do pinkie stretch exercises and pinkie fingering exercises so that I don’t have a problem stretching 5-6 frets if I need to, and that the finger is as fast as the others in doing scales and so on. I use a lot of jazz chords in stuff that I create so the pinkie having the dexterity for these chords is important.

Too cool! Don’t know if I’ll ever be good enough to play that, but I’d sure like to! Just started BBG, I guess I’ll see how it goes. I’m a long way off from being able to play that.

EXCELLENT VERY INFORMATIVE WELL DONE ERROL

Some great lessons from someone who plays as well as you do and knows what they’re talking about.Much appreciated….DBS.

you are the man I’ve been playing guitar for a long time and every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new never too old to learn thank you very much for your input on the Blues because that’s what I play the blues thanks brother

Hi, These are great refreshing & needed, (as said by you). You are my No1. Teacher who don’t mess around, Like some other’s, You Show what’s to be done, & Tell “Don’t Fall Behind”.All great riff’s, Come from a Scale, which I understand now, As b4 I’d think “How did that one come about”, All notes from chords in the song . I’m getting way off track. Thanks Again.

Thank’s Griff,i bought our son-in-law an electric 6 string for Christmas & these types of lessons go a long way, in trying to help him learn, being a total beginner He is a young dad w/2 kids, a baby & 7 yr.old & he just can’t seem to make time to practice .Here we are 6 months later & he is in the same place,every time we sit down together, since he can’t or won’t practice,it is like starting over -VERY VERY frustrating for me .If it was anyone else i would tell him, forget any more lessons until he starts practicing ,but i just can’t do that to family ya’know? ANY suggestions like you have before on this subject …all i’m asking for is 10 minutes a day -that’s all ? Is that asking too much do you think ? Thank you ,Griff .Respectfully,Kim

I see your page needs some fresh & unique content.
Writing manually is time consuming, but there is tool for this task.
Just search for: Fasrixo’s tools

Thank you for all the encouragement and instruction griff. I dont delete your emails(except for the sales pitched) but listen and then archive. have a good christmas and happy new year. sincerely
Jerry.

That was great…definitly goes on Griffs wall of knowlege…having material on the wall is like the cold beer that is behind the glass door at the convienent store…It is yelling…drink me..drink me..drink me…but you have to open the door to get at it…having things on the wall for me is studing while many times with out the guitar in my hand and a book in it instead…or even studing while I am laying in bed…You always have the books open at all times and makes goeing to things much more convient…like having your guitar easily acessable to pick up at anytime and you go deaper into the zone…I also have Daprofe fretmap on one of my guitars that has the blue notes, modes,penatonic scales, and harmonic and natural minor scales easily in color notes…makes it easy for me anyway…I picked back up my guitar after 30 years of not playing….

Great started lessons

That’s marvelous! Can’t wait to get that down.

I’ve been playing scales, E Blues, A Bues, G Blues ect for a while now and I’ve not really know what to do with them!! It’s great that now I can learn to make some music with them. This is just what I need. Thank you

Jimmy Reed (Aint That Lovin You), Bill Doggett (Hold It), James Brown (That Dood It) and many, many more all use the E Blues Lick with a Texas Shuffle beat. It is the basic, essential, natural, roots, blues sound at its best.
