Excellent lesson. Tasty tune. I love the counting. I'll buy the course.

Great lesson as always! Thank you Griff!!!

GREAT cover. Bridge of sighs was my first album purchased! Got this link through an email you sent about someone complaining you talk alot but don't play enough. I don't think he meant that as an insult, but it helps to actually SEE what someone's talking about. Great music here! Rock on!

Thanks Griff, love this, it's just what I was looking for. BTW which version of the song is this lesson referring to?

Really cool thing Griff, your new 5 easy acoustic very useful in blues playing. You are perfect instructor for flat and finger picking style. Thank you.

Over lockdown I learned to play guitalele, stalled out bc I just am baffled by translating music on paper into actual music & my memory is not good enough to keep playing by recall alone. Anyway, I just want to say idk what it is about the most basic blues...but damn I wanna play that all day, Just makes my brain happy. ' 🎶do do do do do dooo 🎶 Thanks a lot, I shall pick it back up and show my 'lele the love it earned keeping me sane during those crazy days ❤

That was excellent by all. Superb guitar playing. Great performance. Thank you.

Thanks for teaching the 8-bar Blues pattern. This alone will give me plenty to practice!

Great lesson! Nice t-shirt 😜

Great lesson! You are a very good teacher! Thank you very much!

Wow. Bill Bailey on keys, Salman Rushdie on bass 🤪

Awesome playing and singing. Great band. 😎

Totally freaking awesome! Man, they just don't make music like that anymore. I would enjoy see these guys do 'Bridge or signs' too. Griff, I gotta hand it to ya. You rock. thanks

The best Griff & Band!

Outstanding HOT 🔥

Amazing. You guys should be playing arenas.

Griff, you are a bad dude!!~

Great voice for Robin Trower! Great Playing! Your lesson are great too!

Griff - you, Ty, Chris, and Mark - best composition of band members...listening to you 4 was blues and one of the main reasons becoming a BGU member! the 4 of you were awesome, thanks, Tony Ludwig from Midnight Dues

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

Excellent song Trower is the incredible. Y’all rocked it!

Wow Griff and The Guys! I've always loved Trower and this particular song. Y'all killed it! Thanks for sharing your talent with us once again!

WOWWWW I liked and enjoyed .... takes me back to my smoking days

What about moving the flat 7 down a half step and starting there? Not very traditional but it has a dissonant feel.

Amazing! I've been subbed with you for years now and haven't seen this...i don't think 🤔 Love your work Griff👍🇳🇿

I would give anything to play with that band...but I haven't earned it yet. Y'all KILLED it there!

Very Cool

Excellent Griff! You do something even Robin Trower doesn’t do, you play guitar AND sing!

20:18 Aren't you supposed to play major pentatonic over the tonic chord THEN switch to the minor for the other two? or is that B.S.?

Great lesson. By the way Im in the midst of your course Rhythm for lead guitar and wow has that helped with my timing and made learning songs like this so much easier.

I have this in my base but not used at that position. But it's in my head all the time. Dig it

It really is fantastic time to be a guitar player. Not only are there a lot of options for pedals in terms of how they impact your sound, but there is something in every budget range that gets you the sound you're after. For every expensive boutique pedal there is an inexpensive equivalent. Is there a difference in quality? Sometimes. But you don't need to spend lots to get in the ballpark of the tones your after.

I'm amazed how the Blues Driver and Rat gave your tone a very SRV type vibe. I never would thought that. I would have just tossed a TS in front of the amp, dialed it in to what sounded close to my ears and went with it.

SRV Strat

Am confused a bit …. And im still drinking morning coffee so this maybe why😜… youre saying the major section is box 2 ,which in my groggy morning opinion looks like box 1 of major pentatonic ,which would be box 2 “shape” if it was a minor pentatonic….or do i have this thinking confused?

This is such a useful resource for a beginner to the blues, really helping me to wrap my head around the principles and concepts! Cheers Griff. Matt

Like many here, I first heard this song by the Yardbirds. Never did I forsee meeting Hubert Sumlin many years later which was SO GREAT A MOMENT! It wasn't easy learning Blues or ANY music history in the time before KZbin, Google etc. Had to network older people, libraries,record nerds, develop sources like an investigator. 2:19 "4th fret second string" huh? did you perhaps mean 4th string second fret? or did I miss something?

Great lesson. A bit advanced for me but I definitely got the idea. I’ll keep practicing! Thank you!

2 huge concepts I got from your channel, Counting, Feeling all the sub divisions & where in the groove to start, ie not always on the 1beat👍 Rhythm, not easy to spell harder to master

Better than trying to recall the lick is knowing the notes it encompasses. Moveable and easy to create with. Excellent info! I'll never forget that. Thanks Groovy One!

Brilliant! Thanks. 👏👏👏👏

Great Video! It answered many question I’ve had. Among them, I couldn’t see where to mix in all your one and two bar licks. I’m looking at soloing with an acoustic guitar and singing. You took a 12 or 8 bar blues at random and played a groove like the basic blues shuffle for the first two bars of each line. Then added a fill for the next two bars. Then finished with a choice of turnarounds to end each time through. This is actually a breakthrough for me. I can take any song - play a groove for the 1st two bars of each line and sing. Then I can choose a fill for bars 3-4 and 7-8. Then finish with a turnaround. This is a really good foundation for further innovation and improvisation, while not slavishly copying and memorizing exact songs. Thanks.

Griff, I live in Allen and recently found your very functional videos. Hope to see you some time at an event. Cheers 🍻

I've seen Alvin 4 times...three times with Ten Years After and once with Ten Years Later. He always gave you your money's worth. Alvin equals...R&R - Blues.

Thanks, Griff. Very helpful.

at 2:15 you say resist the urge to hold them I take it you are referring to the first finger barring the 5th fret on E and B strings? Because the "mess" happens when you clearly take the 2nd and 3rd fingers off.

the music we grow up on was and is the best this electronic stuf sucks ..iv tryed to learn this several times it is trickey but i just keep comming back to it picking up a little more each time thank you for shairing your time with us it realy dose help keep me going guitar is not easy

Love this one. I’ve been working on it from another YT lesson but your explanation of timing is excellent. Thanks!

Really nice licks Griff. Thanks a lot. This is how to put it all together

Not only that, it sounds like the eight notes have a slight swing feel.
