Dude you're my new favorite youtube guitar teacher. Criminally under-subscribed channel!

[@HayesGriffin]

Thanks so much Dylan! That means a lot my friend 🙏🏼🤠

[@r2aul]

This-was-great!! Watching this on the buss thinking ‘one day I’d like to try this’. By the end I wish I had my gtr with me. TOTALLY opened my mind! A great teacher is priceless!! ♥️

[@HayesGriffin]

[@duyle8921]

Great lesson. You're very good at explaining things

[@HayesGriffin]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the lesson, appreciate the kind words.

[@lordmervine7239]

Great video. You give complete information but don't drone on endlessly about irrelevant stuff like most teachers do. You cut to the chase! Well done. The diagrams are helpful and the pace is easy to play along to but still challenging.

[@HayesGriffin]

Thanks for the kind words! I’m probably guilty of some droning, but really do try to make this stuff useful and clear for all you folks. Cheers!

[@melindajones2259]

[@HayesGriffin]

Wow Dean thanks a million!!!

[@flatpickindan]

Loving this.

[@carlmally6292]

Thank you. That was really helpful is showing the subtle differences between these rhythm styles. I had heard La Pompe explained several different ways by serious teachers. Yours was the clearest.

[@HayesGriffin]

You’re welcome Carl, really glad you enjoyed the lesson! Really appreciate the kind words.

That would be fun!

[@huwpowell1]

Nice . Thank you. Loads to practice. Proper instruction. I’ll master swing - however badly. Cheers

[@HayesGriffin]

You’re welcome thanks for the kind words!

[@lynjackson351]

Thank you, Hayes! Love your explanation of the dif between Freddie Green and Django style. Very helpful.

[@HayesGriffin]

You’re welcome Lyn! Glad you liked the video 🤠

[@harrisonsguitarsandsuch]

Ah man, I gotta know where I can get a hat like that! Fantastic stuff, love it. Keep swingin!

[@HayesGriffin]

This particular hat is a discontinued model from Goorin Bros, but it’s essentially a copy of the Stetson Open Road 😊🤘 Thanks for the kind words!

[@michellewilson8845]

Great lesson, love the Gypsy style, love Django

[@HayesGriffin]

Thanks Michelle, glad you enjoyed it!

[@clancyconlin2760]

Great lesson. Who made your guitar strap?

[@HayesGriffin]

Thanks! Bill Bailey made my strap - www.thebaileystrap.com/

[@SabiaCDO]

Duuuuuuude! So many thanks!!!! You should contact Damian Bacci!!

[@HayesGriffin]

You’re very welcome! I’ve seen Damian’s stuff pop up in my feed, I’d love a collab with him… 😊🤘

[@pauls_guitartrip]

Very nice production value. Very good skills both on camera and on guitar explaining. Just one thing bugs me. I played the 12 bar blues a million times in hundreds of variations. Your example sounds of the Gypsy 12 bar blues is interesting but it doesn’t sound like a 12 bar blues at all. For the growl you would try to use also the 5th string on those G7 chords.

[@HayesGriffin]

Thanks for taking the time to offer your knowledge and experience @paulschneider7271. Your Lulu Swing sounds very nice by the way. Happy pickin’ 🤘🎸

[@kenster3554]

I have had an epiphany from watching this video! More than once I have been criticized for my big band comping with band leaders not being able to explain since they weren’t guitar players themselves. They just said that I was clashing with the piano. I was playing lapomp and using those exact drop 2&3 voicing that I gleaned from the Mickey Baker book. If I had played just shell voicings it would have worked! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@HayesGriffin]

Glad the video shook something loose for you Ken!

[@kenster3554]

Yes, the verdict is, “less is more”!

[@kenster3554]

[@EZ3ChordCountry.]

wooooo hoooooo!

[@HayesGriffin]

😆🤘

[@nick2844]

Thank you so much man. First time watching your channel and really like the lesson! A question, in the first example, the Freddie Green style, when you go back to the d7 at 6:29, does it then start over with 4 strums (1 bar)?

[@HayesGriffin]

Answering your question first- you are correct! The form starts over at that point with a full bar of D7. Thanks so much for the kind words, really glad you like the lesson!

[@nick2844]

@@HayesGriffin thanks for the reply! Subscribed cheers

[@CapnBubbaa]

What is it about Django causing such fear in other guitar virtuoso's, first Emmett Ray, now Hayes Griffin???

[@HayesGriffin]

Haha we are always scared of what we don’t understand at first, right? 😉

[@heffo51]

Thanks!

[@HayesGriffin]

Wow you’re welcome! Thank you so much for the love 🤠🙏🏼
