March 15, 2017Count me in Griff, I can’t wait to get started with Classic Rock Guitar Unleashed. I have most of your BGU Courses on a windows Tablet (easy to access). I refer to the relevant lessons regularly to improve my weak points. I must complement you on the effort you have put into your documentation, it is the best I have seen with regard to online Guitar Tutors. Keep up the Website, this is a great way of keeping in touch, and downloading our BGU Purchases. Thanks for your dedication. Regards Jonathan UK.

January 8, 2019ONE OF THE MANY SONGS EVERYONE LEARNS TO PLAY.
IN THE COVER BAND, WE DID STAIRWAY. I PLAYED RTHYUM AND THE INTRO. I ALWAYS WANTED TO LEARN THE SOLO. ARE LEAD GUITAR PLAYER DID USE A WAH PEDAL FOR HIS SOLO WHICH DID NOT SOUND BAD.
THEN WE GOT A NEW LEAD GUITRAITS, AND HE HATED STAIR WAY TO HEAVEN. SO I WOULD ALWAYS TEASE HIM WITH THE INTRO.
THANKS GRIIFF, NOW I DON’ T NEED HIS WAY OF PLAYING IT. SAT SIDE STAGE WHEN EVER JIMMY PAGE WOULD PLAY A CONCERT. NEVER GOT TO KNOW HIM, BUT GREAT GUITAR PLAYER.
Manuel Rivas
October 24, 2022Thank you for taking the time to put together such a great explanation and method of teaching.

March 15, 2017Dude, this is exactly what I need to take me to the level of being able to jam/play and hopefully get out front with a band. It’s the missing piece in my guitar journey. I’ve stopped counting the courses I’ve got from you Griff (7 I think at last count)…….shouls be a share holder !!!!!……I have the Blues & Acoustic Unleased courses which I’ve been studying on for the last 3 years and can 100% say without the knowledge from these courses I would be lost in the YouTube wilderness! From this “retired” drummer (I can count already Griff :-)) and wannabe guitarist I deeply thank you for this. I hope to be able to attend a BGU or CRGU annual jam one day soon to be able to personally thank you . Kevin in Surrey UK
Scott
March 15, 2017Griff, been a BGU fan for years now…..regarding classic guitar unleashed—-well let’s just say you had me at “classic”. Can’t wait, this is the next step in my guitar journey. Thx
Alex
March 15, 2017Hurry up…come live in Canada before we build a wall and have you pay for it.
Seriously…thanks Griff.
Thatman
March 15, 2017This is yet more icing on yet another cake, I have every confidence that this “Rock Guitar Unleashed” course is going to be every bit as brilliant as the BGU family of courses. The email video snippets are brilliant and with these videos I can see how you have blended the transition of Blues with Rock. Looking forward to the official launch. Great stuff Griff. 🙂
John Smale
March 15, 2017I’ve got my PayPal button on standby.
Can’t wait to get hold of this. Just waiting now for Psychedelic Guitar Unleashed!
Many thanks Griffin.
John Smale
March 15, 2017Oops – Griff- damn predicted text!
Dale Morgan
March 15, 2017I can’t wait…what gets me really exited about this is that I know how great the BGU courses are that I already have, and if you pull this one out of the bag Griff and it’s on par with everything else you have done……”Then we are truly gonna Rock”….No doubt about it!
The cards ready the axe is primed and the amps on 11……..just send me the rest……….:)
Kevin O'Sullivan
June 29, 2017Griff – you never fail to amaze me with your teaching style & content. I’ll say it again – you are the best out there by a country mile. I’m in.
Thank you Griff
Chris

Oulié Alain
March 15, 2017Great !

Thanks Griff
Gene Hardin
March 15, 2017Your courses are great, I will be adding this one to my collection.

March 15, 2017Griff , this is yet another great lesson which you explain so well . I have been practicing the last lesson , so I will add this one also . I think it may be a little difficult for me now , but I will eventually get it . Thanks again , and looking forward to the next lesson . Mike Z.
Russ Carre
March 15, 2017Always love your work. Don’t always have the time to leave comments. But always enjoy your lessons. I can safely say that your courses have improved my playing beyond my expectations. So I hope you have great success with your new course.
Regards Russ C.
Jake Whicker
March 15, 2017Great to meet you & Laura in Austin last week! You continue to deliver beyond expectations, and I’m very excited to get the new course. Looking forward to the next BGU Live.

March 15, 2017Gif – As one teacher to another, I can testify that you are truly a very talented musician and a GREAT online teacher.
Rob Knight
John
March 15, 2017Woo hoo,let’s do it
Mike Garrison
March 15, 2017Awesome….While I love the blues courses….my deep down desire is to play those classic rock songs that I used to wear out the record/8-track/cassette and eventually CD’s to. So glad you are providing a course for this. My next wish list would be for a praise and worship style course. Not sure what “rules” or scales are being used in the riffs to modern Christian music…it’s definitely not the blues scale..at least I don’t think so
John, Michigan
March 15, 2017Woo hoo,let’s do it
Kevin O'Sullivan
June 29, 2017Griff – I do hope you read at least some of the feedback. You need to know how hugely appreciated your teaching is – and how darn good it all is! Thank you once again
Denis
March 15, 2017This is so cool.
By the way : what level off difficulty will this course have , compared to the regular BGU course ?
Jerry
March 15, 2017your the best. Looking to get this after I complete BGU & other of courses of yours. Thank you for being the detailed teacher that you are.
Frank O'Connor
March 15, 2017Thanks again for another great lesson. As Soon as I get home I will be sure to learn these licks. 🙂
Gregory L Senich
March 15, 2017And I swore I was done purchasing any more programs. Toying with the junkies now. And I can’t say it makes me mad–it just shows my lack of willpower and your awesomeness as a creative instructor and player. One more course to chew on. Thanks Groovy Griff for more puzzle pieces.
Raul Moralez
March 15, 2017Still attempting to memorize it, but it is coming along. Great stuff….Absolutely…
David Eyre Bromsgrove UK
March 15, 2017Just cant wait My order is a Certanty Dont Keep Us Waiting Too Long
Erik S. Friis
March 15, 2017This is the shit Griff! 🙂 Been looking for lessons like this my entire guitar playing “life.” You ever you are charging I’ll pay double!!
Question though: shame you can’t teach us the actual solos note-for-note. Are there *really* copyright issues today with all the stuff on YouTube? There used to be these Note-For-Note cassettes that you could buy through Guitar Player magazine where the guy got away with it.
Anyway love this course! Blues is a good foundation but this is what most of us want to play! 👍🏻
Erik S. Friis
March 15, 2017Sorry meant to write “Whatever you are charging, I’ll pay double!” 😂 Lol!
Erik S. Friis
March 15, 2017A Boston lesson would be amazing too! Don’t look back! 😉
Vince
March 15, 2017I definitely want it.
Jim
March 15, 2017Looks like it’s gonna be a great course – contents and technology-wise! And since we’re in spring training – “Knocked it out of the park!”
Want to hear my “arrogant bastard” response?! I don’t need it!
I laughed when I saw this lesson. After completing several of the BGU courses, I know exactly what you’re dong here and could probably learn this solo in about 30 minutes!!! It’s all Griff’s fault. He taught me too much, already! Actually, I know I’ll end up buying it…after I finish the other three courses on the shelf!
George Aubrey
March 15, 2017This is GREAT Griff… this is going to be fun!! Can’t wait to help you retire!!
John
March 15, 2017What I would really like to see – and it’s both rock and blues – is a Rory Gallagher solo or two (or three). But regardless, I’ll certainly be getting CRGU as soon as it comes out.
Mark a Wales uk
March 15, 2017Cheers Griff
For the lesson I like the bouncing ball and the repeated licks along with the jamtracks
Brill saves rewinding 🤘😎🎶
John
March 15, 2017The other thing I would like (on all courses) is a description of the gear used. The guitar itself is obvious, but what isn’t always clear, indeed often isn’t clear, is the settings on volume, tone and selector switch. Also, there is a requirement to tell us what effects are used, and how – pedals, settings, chain etc – and the amplifier, with it’s settings. Thanks for everything, Griff.
steve
March 15, 2017Hi Griff. Maybe I missed this (been known to happen). . . do the lessons contain instruction on the strumming patterns and fingering for the rhythm guitar used on the jam tracks?
Griff
March 15, 2017Not specifically, but there are dozens of riffs and strum parts in the rhythm section of the course. If you were to go through those and learn them, you’d have little trouble figuring out the specific patterns used in the solo backing tracks.
Pete B
March 15, 2017The Guitar is the star (as always) and played over this type of progression just has to be learnt. Fortunately a lot of the classic type solo’s, especially Zep, are so ingrained in us that the timing etc. is almost automatic. I’m only sorry that next week I shall be on holiday and not able to hit the buy button and get stuck in until April. Thanks to you Griff, I’ve got some stuff to get on with. We all love what you do, don’t retire yet please, I’m not good enough.
Pete B in the green. UK
Ray Jackson
March 15, 2017Brilliant, just Brilliant. Since following your downloads and buying courses and backing tracks, my soloing is going great. This Jimmy Page stuff is amazing and got straight into it, even on my acoustic. I’ve got to get this course, no doubts. A new level of tutoring from the Master. Well Done Griff. Ray (UK).
Sonny Griffith
March 15, 2017This course is just what I’ve been looking for. Can’t wait to order it. Thanks Grif!
Laredo
March 15, 2017I must have it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! As in ASAP
tony
March 15, 2017killer thought you would come around to this dont forget your blues
Glenn
March 15, 2017Can’t wait for this one Griff
Les
March 15, 2017Yes, put me down for one. Every time I think “thats it,no more until I finish this lot on the shelf” you come up with another one I just got to have.
TJ Matheson
March 15, 2017Awesome Griff. I love all kinds of genre of music. For me I grew up with Rock and then the Blues of course seem to tag along. Pardon the pun but Blues seem to strike a note and chord with me. Count me in! Please just go easy on my wallet cause every time I see these videos and course intros you do I go “Locked on target!”.
Rich Hughes
March 15, 2017Griff…
I t hink this will be Incredible…this will be the next course I order. I love the counter over the tab…that helps me a lot…I know it doesn’t replace counting myself…but it does give you an advantage….great stuff!
Rich
Malcolm
March 15, 2017Wow! Absolutly fantastic. I have the BGU course not got stated on it yet!! Now this im in a panic its so good and have wanted this sort of help since i was 16 im now 60! Thanks Griff you make it so clear.
Kind Regards

March 15, 2017Mr griff , I really injoy your teaching methods and I get a lot from them . Thanks for being there . Now I really love the aquistic sound I just off listening and playing my Taylor acoustic . I also enjoy rocking out on my electric as well , so I try to use string sizing so I can go back and forth between the two and not be to weak for my taylor and not to strong for my electric. I use 11 – 52s on my acoustic and the same on the electric but some time I have a hard getting a quick smooth bend and any thing lighter I feel I lose good tone . Lighter strings on the electric makes me weak on the acoustic, I know it’s a silly dilemma lol . I like 12s on my guild cause I play most of my slide stuff it and I love the tone you get but bending can be a bitch lol so ok , what are your thoughts on the string thing ? And if I may ask what do you use on your guitars ? Hope I’m not being to nosey lol thanks for your time , randy

Rex Harrison
March 15, 2017And then a PRGU… as in progressive rock? One of my favorite genres.
Eel1948
March 15, 2017Just want to point out to those who may not know, this chord progression am- G- F, is right up there in importance with the I-IV-V, and a few others, Rock ‘n Roll, uses this progression all the time.
Sean Drummond
March 16, 2017Your are so correct. Jimi Hendrix uses Am-G-F on “All Along the Watchtower,” just to point out an example of what you say.
Eric G.
March 15, 2017Oh, I’m definitively getting this course. Can’t wait!!!
Daniel M
March 15, 2017Count me in. Let’s do this!!

March 16, 2017This explains a lot! I always wondered what the basic idea was behind Jimmy’s solo….thanx!!!
paul griffin
March 16, 2017great job griff
Dave
March 16, 2017Great Stuff as always!!!!
Manuel AS Manny
March 16, 2017Wow, those pull off’s and minor slide’s you just gave me the speed I needed, looking forward in the lesson’s.
Gary
March 16, 2017Looking forward to the course! I’m half way thru acoustic blues guitar, and stopped bgu but wil finish it next, then classic rock guitar. Am really enjoying your courses over the last two years. Keep ot up, Griff! All of the examples are things I always wanted to learn. Can’t wait!
Sean Drummond
March 16, 2017This is an absolutely fantastic lesson, Griff. Since I was in high school and Led Zeppelin’s first album came out and blew everybody away, it has been a dream of mine to be able to play guitar solos in the style of the one and only Jimmy Page. You have just shown me how that is possible and I am really excited about the Classic Rock Guitar Unleashed course. First BGU, now this. I feel totally prepared, Your marketing instinct is amazingly dead on, Griff. Thanks so much for doing what you do!
Jean
March 16, 2017Classic rock sounds so cool to the ear. This definitely will help gain more control and speed playing . It also sounds jazzy. The melodies sound very nice. I welcome this new classic rock.
Andrew
March 16, 2017Hi Griff , This is a fantastic idea !
I can play a lot of these old classics really well and they are always
my “go to ” songs when I either get fed up with learning more bluesy stuff
or just need to cheer myself up . There is nothing quite like cranking the Marshall
up and running through songs from ACDC , Led Zeppelin , Deep Purple , Jimi Hendrix
Lynard Skynard , Bad Company , Free etc etc . I always come away as happy as a “pig
in you know what” after either Jamming or practicing this music.
Fortunately my neighbours are pretty good so I can get away with running as much
power as I want for shortish periods . ( I know one of them likes my playing !)
The best thing by far is that almost everyone instantly knows the song if you can
play it even half way decent .
I reckon you are on a real winner here Griff so please continue , there will be many
people just crying out for lessons on this stuff .
James M Griffey
March 16, 2017Great lesson!
I will be buying the new Classic Rock Guitar Unleashed.
Robert Rhodes
March 16, 2017Thanks for free sample of the course Griff ,Variety is great as are 16th notes. will be on my wish list.though I have some catch-up to do.
Len Canter
March 16, 2017Will check out the course. Got to stay ahead of my Grandkids. They’re probably tired of hearing “Johnny Cash” music, although it keeps them entertained.
Terry Dean
March 16, 2017Thanks Griff. You are a great teacher and I look forward to the class being released.
Erik S. Friis
March 16, 2017Griff, please contact me at my email addr erik.friis@me.com. I have an idea for an option to supplement you excellent forthcoming course that you might be interested in. Thanks, Erik
P.S. Put me down as a pre-order for the course!

March 16, 2017Friday or Saturday. Monday at the latest.
Haner
March 16, 2017I have to admit that i bought the BGU course with the hope that it would give me the insight to learn how my classic rock idols played those great solos that I grew up with. Playing the blues is awesome, especially the acoustic blues, but I’m looking forward to this new course to juice up my ability to play some of those awesome British rock licks I’ve marveled at for so long. Thanks!
Royce
March 16, 2017Do IT!
Mark
March 17, 2017I’m another one who is really looking forward to this course! Better print up lots of copies 🙂
Gavan
March 17, 2017It’s in code 99
Do you think Max?
Yes 99 It’s about stacking boxes 99
What do you mean Max
Well 99 if you stack the middle of box one on the bottom of box tw and then place the top of box four on the end of box one 99
I’m thinking it has to do with licks Max
Not now 99. I’ve got to crack sigfreids code
Oh Max
Gavan
March 17, 2017Three way heart bypass on Monday morning Aussie time. Gonna get well and start that band All thanks to you griff God bless ( start a band that is ) LOL
Fred Gardner
March 18, 2017Great stuff and very timely for me. I’m ready to buy it and start jamming
Paul young
March 19, 2017I struggle with trying to play but tried the Jimmy Page licks and actually could hear the lick as I played thank you for your great teaching. I am thinking about getting rock guitar unleashed, I will have to wait and see. I really want to.

Great CRGU, looking forward to your new course for CRGU hopefully at a bargain deal.
Michael-Sydney-Australia March 2017.
Michael Trombino
March 20, 2017Hey Griff. Love all you do. My question is,do you advocate learning song solos note for note or just the signature parts? Thanks and keep up the good work.
Robert
March 20, 2017Good stuff..like the way u break it down..much appreciated…merci..
Gavan
March 24, 2017Dear griff I’m still in hospital 24 th of May and two hunted kilometres from home with no debit card or laptop assesses.

Been writing some serious lyrics I got then blues man

Rich Cibelli
December 9, 2017Griff, like most others I think this is a great lesson with awsome information. My sticking point however continues to be being able to count out the measures correctly. Any suggestion that might help me turn this around?
steve russell
May 25, 2018invaluable lesson for other things besides what your trying to convey and what i want from you. I,m gonna be paying the fee to get your 5 easy solos
timothy mark fagan
May 25, 2018Hands Down,,,,,, Griff you are the best in the bizz….I have been following your lessons for some time now,bouncing back and forth between all the other want to be instructors.

Julian Russell
November 9, 2020I’ve been playing Blues for over 30 years having learned he fundamentals around 30 years ago when I was 14 in Paris France from Black American Blues musicians. I’m 71 now but I never give up on it. I don’t really play the standard s anymore so much. But I do write my own Blues songs.
I forget lot of stuff, do your
teachings make me remember a lot of stuff. So thank you, Julian
Ken McCarley
November 10, 2020Hey Griff I bought your BGU several years ago and I went from beginner to intermediate but unfortunately that’s where I still am. Can’t seem to get over to the other side. I really like this lesson. Very cool and easy to digest.
