Slow Blues Licks Lesson For Guitar - Triplets Inside Of Triplets
It's easy to look at a slow blues lick (or hear one) and think there's no possible way you're going to be able to play it...
Especially if it's some sort of "flurry" from SRV, or Walter Trout, or Johnny Winter, etc.
But if you understand that those flurries are often triplets inside of triplets, you'll see that you can expand the lick first, then slowly build it up to speed using a metronome.
You only have to go through this process once and you'll have a new world at your fingertips.

In an effort to put my money where my mouth is, I decided to do a video you can use on the daily to improve your counting and timing and subdividing beats on your guitar.

Blues Guitar Soloing Lesson - Moves Aren't Licks
Переглядів 7 тис.Місяць тому
A lot of my students have a hard time really "owning" and memorizing licks because they try to memorize too many things... Most "licks" come from a series of "moves," and those moves tend to get used in many different licks, no matter where they come from. I think of it like speaking or typing, you don't think about how to type "t - h - e", you just type "the" when you think of it. So think of ...

Great video mate!! I have always gone for a single pedal with the gain cranked for rhythm and a higher gain pedal (also cranked) for solos: BD-2 and UM300 for example. You have got me thinking about how much gain I put on each pedal now and the combinations I can use. Like and Subscribe very much earned.
So fun Griff…thx!
Great lesson Griff! Please keep’em conning for intermediates who want to play fast! 🙏🏼
Your video has turned on some light bulbs for me for sure. Until now I knew the bits and pieces of blues. But now I have more of a generał understanding of the blues structure. Thank you! 😊
Good teacher
Griff, спасибо, очень классный урок, ты замечательный преподаватель. Регулярно смотрю твои видео!!! 🤝 💥🎸💥🎸💥
Is it ok to bar the top 3 strings on 8th fret for all pull offs?
🤯
What's the guitar Griff, and what radius is the board?
Sweet!
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!
Akshully Trower does both. He's had a number of singers working with him over the decades, but he's done a lot of vocal stuff as well. If you want a great example of what you said, BB King either played or sang, never both together.
@@HedgenicI saw Robin Trower in the early 90’s. He had a singer, he didn’t sing a single note himself, and he played Too Rolling Stoned. It was incredible. I’ve also seen BB King in concert four times. I’m very aware of how he performs (he was the best at what he did)! I also know I don’t need an explanation from you. Just saying Griff has a great deal of talent, and displays it it this video.
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.?
That is one way to approach playing over a blues, but it's not the "base" level of sophistication, as I like to call it. It's a great sound and very common, just not the only option.
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.
The RAT is a very misunderstood pedal. At lower gain settings, it's extremely close to what a TS does, but at higher gain settings it gets fuzzy. They can be tricky, but I love them.
@@bluesguitarunleashed I like mine too at lower gain settings. It's surprisingly similar to an amp-like overdrive
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?
In my view there are only 5 boxes, so box 1 is box 1, whether it's major or minor, only the root note changes. So, what you might be calling "box 1 of major pentatonic" could very well be box 2 to me. I wouldn't be able to keep them straight if I renumbered them based on the major/minor quality.
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 UA-cam, 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!
