Does anyone know where I can get free tabs or lessons on ragtime guitar for a beginner.
can anyone give me the tab for picking somewhere over the rainbow pleeease
Many thanks, Griff! Another secret revealed. Very succinct and tidy explanation. Enjoyed learning about it. Now if I can get the weak pinky pulloff mastered…

Great video! Another point that is well illustrated is what’s going on with the picking hand. The first picked note is a downstroke, and the rest are upstrokes until the pattern repeats. This is a good exercise for both hands. If I were to use a metronome, would I play five notes per beat?
Still pickin’ away at my lap steel, thanks to your inspiration. Remember, I am the sax player taking up something new. Not quite ready for public performance yet, we have been gigging pretty steadily. But I am using what I can from your lessons. Bought your Blues Unleashed and it has already given me hundreds of dollars worth of enjoyment even if I never play the steel in public. Bought your Griff Hamlin band CD too. listen to it a lot while on Facebook, lol. Keep doing what you are doing, Griff, you are inspiring so many people to spread the gift of music. Oh, and thank you.
THANKS GRIFF FOR ALL YOU DO FOR YOUR STUDENTS! YOU ARE JUST THE BEST ! I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND EFFORT. NO ONE I’VE EVER SPENDS THE TIME YOU DO AFTER THE SALE TO MAKE SURE THE CUSTOMER IS HAPPY ! SINCERELY ROBERT MCCONNELL
thanks Griff …. still working on the 4 note blues AND scales but this is more inspirational ‘stuff’ from a great teacher and will help fill a bit of a hole in my understanding as to how things fit together.
cheers to one an’ all
GRIFF, YOU ARE SO GREAT TEACHER AND PLAYER, THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH.
GRIFF,
YOU ARE SO GREAT TEACHER AND PLAYER, THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.
Thanks again Griff. This will definitely add some new flavor to my lick arsenal. Never even though of doing that to make a basic scale not sound like a scale.
Griff, You make it so clear. Us slow pokes really appreciate your going through these riffs note by note. It frustrate the heck out of us to hear that lightning speed and have no way of replicating it. Thanks a million for bringing it down from light speed to slow pitch. WBS
I am really glad that came around was wondering how to get that sound the good ol pull off Thats the ticket. thanks griff. Is there a sercret to getting a good sound out of my less paul with a fender amp where to set it for that clean to ratty sound Thanks Tom
that’s a keeper!
Always a little something to put in our gigbag of goodies!!!
Excellent as always!
Thanks for another good tip Griff. What happened to the Crossrads show? The only guy ahead of you must have alot of good friends cause Chigago was always big on stuffing the ballot boxes or buying votes. Probably not but you guys were light years ahead of him, 2nd place must mean something.
Thanks so much for that insightful mini lesson, i’ve been practicing now about a week on this and WOW what a difference, my fingers feel very light on the fretboard,
cheers

Griff, you are awsome.Thanks for sharing that lick with us. All we have to do is practice it until we master it. Thanks again from Michigan Oliverio Garza.
Cool! Thank you, Griff! Enjoyed learning your courses.

Thanks a million Griff. We have made my blues guitar playing so much fun. I really enjoy playing to songs from you Blues Guitar Unleashed DVDs. Keep up the good work.
These type of ‘Cheat Sheet’ tricks really force me out of my tunnel of comfort and open new and sweet noodle’n. Thanks! MM

Griff, thanks for that little pentatonic rundown… I’ve known about the pentatonic scale for ages but have had little or no idea what to do with it. It’ll take me some time to get my left hand moving quickly enough to keep changing directions (up and down) as quickly and smoothly as you do, but I’m sure the exercise will do me good!
Still looking forward with eager anticipation to getting your course through the post; ask any Aussie about the ‘Tyrrany of Distance’… Oh well, patience is a virtue…

Griff, I have being trying to learn to play since Bert Weedon was a boy. I know that I will never be a guitarist but every time I make up my mind to give it up another one of your gems arrives through the ether and, because you explain it so clearly, and make it look so easy I can’t resist picking up my pleck flexing my arthritic fingers and trying again. Thanks, you are without doubt a STAR!

Awesome lesson! I’m on it! Thank you so much Griff!
Hi folks,
i see Bonamassa at July at the Tollwood- Festival in Munic, he played as the preband from Jeff Beck.
Baby, thats music !! Great gigs.
Great explaination of how its done! Thanks -Tim
nice, can you show the up/down of the picking hand in slow mo or in TAB?
Griff:
MORE! MORE! MORE! and MORE MOORE!
Seriously, thank you…would even pay for more riffs and techniques for speed licks in the above styles and add Johnny Winter, Alvin Lee (Goin’ Home) to the mix…
Thank you Again!
Can you give more precison on the exact picking of the right hand (ex: alternate, up, down, etc ) ? Thanks anyway, this was very helpfull.
