    Hey Griff, wonderful stuff! One issue though. The links all appear to be un-loadable on my tablet (unlike most of your wmv files). The extension on each does say .wmv, but the files are not recognized as wmv by my player. Again, this is NOT normal for your download area, working with my tablet.

    Anyway thanks again for doing your thing in the lessons. I’m not complaining, just giving you a heads-up on the situation.

    Hey griff, as always a wonderful lesson. I have to agree with David on the uploads. I was able to download the tab though. Keep up the great work!

    This is great stuff…I ordered the acoustic blues and slide. Can’t wait to get started:)
    I decided to order the dvd’s because it takes me a little longer to get some of the techniques down and now I can go at my pace.
    Thank you and God Bless!

    Great lesson, blues for the lone home guitar player that when replicated to a reasonable standard gives you the pleasure of sounding like you know what your doing for a change.
    Hey re the downloading, I have a macbook and the tab downloaded straight in as normal however with the mp4 link it took me straight to the video, if you do a right trackpad click (or touch depending on your settings) a small window appears giving you the option to save to your computer.

    Another great lesson Griff. I would like to see a little more about technique in-regards to using a slide, selecting a slide, etc.. I get a lot of clunks and unwanted rattling when placing and lifting the slide.

    I like Your guitar I found an old one when I was a kid it had been put out with the garbage. It was to far gone to be rescued . Should have kept anyway but being a kid well I did the old thing in playing el ka bong with it . Destroyed it ! Nice note playing and I noticed a series of notes I have heard before . I heard Tim Pierce use the same pattern ,but , in a diffrent key . He is a great session guitarist one of the very best in the world. Anyways nice lesson down loaded the first one and thats all I need . Still holding on to many lessons and some day even though I got so much time on My hands . I may catch up with all of them. dough ray me fa so la tea ever concider teaching guitar that way ? c ya ; )
