Tony
March 13, 2017I totally agree….stop the teasing, when is the Classic Rock being released?
PAUL DRAGOTTO
June 28, 2017NICE! I WATCHED A MOVIE ON SHOW TIME ,ABOUT THE STONES. IT WAS BACK IN THE 60’S OF THEM DOING RECORDINGS AND THE OLD WAY OF RECORDING. BROUGHT BACK MEMORY’S. KIETH, D-TUNES HIS GUITAR TO D WHEN HE PLAYS MOST OF THERE SONGS. IF IT;S IN G, HE WILL D- TUNE TO G. I SAW THEM PLAY IN 1972 AT THE FORUM. HAD BACK STAGE PASS. HE DID D-TUNE HIS GUITAR HONKEY TALK WOMEN, IS IN D AND SO EASY TO PLAY WHEN YOUR TUNE IN D. I LIKE YOUR VERSION ALSO. JUST IN D., YOU DON’T NEED TO USE YOUR OTHER FINGERS, JUST MAYBE ONE, OR TWO. AS FOR THE BLUES. HOW DO YOU THINK THE ROLLING STONE GOT INSPIRED?? BY THE BLUES. IN THE MOVIE RICHARDS WAS PLAYING THIS BLUES RUN . SOUNDED LIKE ALBERT KING. SO KNOCK OFF THE GIVE THE BLUES STUFF.
SORRY FOR THE CAPS, GOT JAMMED.

December 16, 2019Ya well, you cannot get the right sound or notes unless you use drop D or DADGAD. Keith spells it out in numerous places and gives his classic smirk when he tells you that you won’t be able to play “Start me up” or other songs without the correct alternate tuning. Keith black Tele is always setup for him on the tunes and tuning he needs for those classic songs. Read his book – it gets pretty much to the heart of his long time playing with alternate tunings.
The way Griff is doing here is used by lots of bands/guitar players i.e. Joe Walsh – James Gang, etc. Keith and Ron use these chord shapes a lot in standard tuning as well as alternate tunings G and D
I have seen the Stones 5 times over the years, my son 3 times I took him with. For the longest time I was trying to use standard tuning and wondered why I could not get it quite right….well, then I was talking to some guys that were hanging with Keith at his house in Jamaica where they were describing the alternate tunings and how Keith was always fooling around with these tunings to write some of his alltime greats…that was a long time ago now. Back in the day when we sat near or on the stage with most bands, Janice Joplin, Eric Burdon, Moby Grape, Led Zeppelin, Gordon Lightfoot, Randy Bachman, Stevie Wonder, Burton Cummings (yes, all the guess who), Jim Morrison, James Brown and many more. After the Rolling Stones debacle at Altamont, CA, it got harder because a few people ruined it for us all. Sorry for the rant… it is just so kool sometimes to look back and reminisce – this must be and older persons right of passage…cuz we can’t remember the present moment Haha!
Jim
March 13, 2017Yes, please unleash Classic Rock Unleashed. Thanks.
JJ
March 14, 2017Griff,
I agree ……… I really appreciate the daily videos, but would grab the classic rock program as soon as its released. Please keep up the good work!
Vince
March 14, 2017Griff, Why not do it like Keith wrote most of those great songs and go open G tuning? Ridiculously easy.
PAUL
January 7, 2019BEING A COVER BAND AT ONE TIME, WE DID SOME STONES SONGS.
KIETH RICHARDS WOULD TUNE HIS GUITAR TO “D” AND DO THIS SONG. HONKY TONK WOMEN, SAME THING.
GREAT GRIIF ON HOW TO PLAY WITH OUT D TUNING YOUR GUTAIR. I D TUNED MY GUITAR PLAYING STONE SONGS.
Glen Simonds
June 25, 2020Seems like d to dm7 instead of g
Rob
August 19, 2021You are quite right as far as the shape goes, which is indeed a minor7 one, but at this fret, it would be an Em7.
At the same time though, it’s a Gmajor for sure which is rather puzzling.
Now, can Griff or anyone explain?
kevin anthony miles
August 13, 2021Hsnt griff already done classic rock guitar unleashed
D
March 8, 2022He has done Classic Rock Guitar Unleashed. It can be found near the bottom of his catalog page. It looks good. Saving to get it next.
Mark
May 21, 2022Thanks Griff, I can’t stop rock’in! Yay!
Steve
September 5, 2024It’s there
Graham L
March 13, 2017Terrific, thanks! The existence of the internet is justified by Griff Hamlin! How else could I ever have got any kind of connection with such a nice guy and a great teacher who lives thousands of miles away from me!
Brent
March 13, 2017I’m waiting for Classic Rock Unleashed, too! Not that I’m complaining about the free videos! Thanks so much for the lessons!. Some of us LOVE the blues, but we also LOVE to rock.
cowboy
March 13, 2017to quote the band, “start me up”..thanks.
cowboy
legoge47
March 13, 2017Examples 2-3 sound much like something from an old Motown tune.
Denis
March 13, 2017Blues-rock course release now 😉 !!!!!!!
John Smale
March 13, 2017I’ve got to say thank you for the Rock lessons, fantastic. I’ve got 3 of your courses to date but if you released CRGU I’d buy it before the print had dried.
Also thank you for all the free lessons and superb teaching. I’ve come on leaps and bounds since learning with you.
Phil hey Griff. how's things fine on this end like. it. a lot sounds great keep up the good work. bud.
March 13, 2017Thanks. For. Your, time. Bud. Great. Sounds. Can’t put. In. Words. Thanks. Phil
Tom H
March 13, 2017I swore I heard a little James Gang in there. 😎
Erik S. Friis
March 14, 2017Yup, def some Joe Walsh guitar there 😉
david moon
March 14, 2017Yep= that last on is awfully close to Funk 49 with just a little change in the rhythm

Bob
March 13, 2017When I go to this website, McAfee site advisor comes on, which I don’t have on my phone, and tells me not to go there because it’s full of viruses. I will definitely purchase this rock lesson when it comes out.
Michael Chappell
March 13, 2017I am the same if you did a CRGU course something like BGIAB with 3 major songs like Rolling Stones etc I would buy it…We love the Blues but have to be able to play some Classic Rock Songs as well.
Griff you have already created a demand!
Michael-Sydney-Australia March 2017
Michael Chappell
August 23, 2021Hey Griff,
As you know I did purchase Classic Rock Guitar Unleashed as soon as you made it available with the Pic of the Red SG on the front.
It is a really great Course and I am always referring to it..or doing it again. In fact if one completes the BGU V2 Course and this one you have pretty much enough to start your own jamming sessions and maybe sound really great.
Love this lesson even if Griff is using Standard Tuning to demo the Riff, still sounds great..Obviously Open D Tuning would get a little bit closer to Keith version..All very good lesson Griff.
Michael-Sydney-Australia – Currently Lockdown Country August 23rd , 2021.
Mark a Wales uk
March 13, 2017Cheers Griff
For the lesson like the other members have stated
I think there’s a blues rock course on its way with how to solo over the changes 😎🎶
john
March 13, 2017Thanks Griff and now your lesson on reading and counting from sheet music is paying dividends.
Ernie White
March 13, 2017Hey Griff thanks, that was really helpful and fun lyrics
Rob6string
March 13, 2017I agree with what you said in the first video over the weekend about Classic Rock being the offspring of Blues. I haven’t been to a jam night yet where we didn’t play both. When I play with our band we play both. Ya gotta produce the course, of course! These were fun for sure! Thanks Griff!
Jethro B
March 13, 2017On “Start Me Up”, “Brown Sugar” and “Honky Tonk Woman” Keith uses the riff you’re demonstrating in open tuning. Try an open G and then do “Start Me Up” Sounds great!!!
Kim alexander
March 13, 2017Thank’s Griff us rockers love this as well, YOU know why WE are here,with YOU, trying to emulate the old blues sounds in our playing. I purchased Playing on the Porch,too busy, never even opened it yet .but took your advice & bought the Video Surgeon ON SALE for $97.00 right now, THAT will be the bomb- bud ! Thank’s for recommending it. a year ago ! Respectfully,Kim is there a place we can post the pedal board we built, to ask questions about effects pedal placement IF you could see it sir ?
Randy F
March 13, 2017Thanks a lot for this lession Giff.so glad I bought in. Lots to learn
Jim H
March 13, 2017Thanks griff you keep comping up with the best thank you
tony
March 13, 2017I need to listen move carefully because I hear You play a whole step down . Meaning that I play funk 49 right but in not the exact key . I do know it really dont matter much . I personally would call it the Keith Richards thing. I dont think he gets enough credit. Last time is my all time favorite tune.
tony szydlo
December 16, 2019Hey I do think that Gene Pitney does not get much credit . I do know He was with the Stones for a bit. I met Him once I was only 5 . He was on His way to Europe . He wrote and performed some very different stuff. That was his Hippie days . He was known for writing a song that went to #1 a town with no pity and why does it hurt to be in love . He was called the Rockville Rocket. The guy had a lot of talent. A stroll down memory lane for Me. Rip Gene I will not forget You. Oh and My uncle still kicks His self for leaving Genes band just when he came to fame .
Bob L
March 13, 2017How about that Santana sound also. I think they got it from John Hooker?
Erik S. Friis
March 14, 2017They got it from Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac. He wrote Black Magic Woman. Check his post post-Fleetwood song called “In the Skies” as well.
Warwick Smiley
March 13, 2017Surely the tuning for this is Open G. I don’t think you mentioned that. It would throw people off Unless they were a Stones Fan. By the way ur Tele. Sounds awesome. Thanks;
Griff
March 13, 2017You certainly could play it in open G, but I didn’t. I’ve never liked having to re-tune to play Stones tunes, and the middle 3 strings that I do use don’t change for open G tuning so it works just fine.
The only thing you’re missing (maybe) over what Keith played would be the 5th string. And I don’t hear it very often.
Jim
June 29, 2017I think I saw a video where Kieth actually say something like “three strings and three fingers” is all I ever needed!
Ray
July 1, 2017No Griff it doesn’t work just fine. I’m a big Stones fan and keep a 5 string open G Tele in my guitar rack.
That is not a Stone’s trick. The Stone’s trick is Keef’s trick of tuning in open G on a guitar without the 6th string.
Give the man & the music their just due and play it right.
I’m digging what you’re doing with your site & courses but you disappointed with that little bit.
Rod Woolley
December 7, 2017There is no right or wrong in music! Anything that sounds good is ok. I have long since realised that if you listen to the same song played by different groups they each have their own versions and sound. To my mind it is far more worthwhile coming up with your own interpretation than to struggle to copy exactly. I am with Griff when he says he doesnt like to bother retuning his guitar, and in any case, if someone plays Stones numbers using standard tuning it may encourage them to make the effort to try open tuning for themselves.
Dan
January 19, 2019Rod I agree with you 100%, there IS NO right or wrong in music, everyone plays from the heart and at the moment, I’ve been playing in bands for 55 years and I hardly ever play a song the same way every time, its what I’m feeling in the moment, love the way you think.
TA Ratko
January 7, 2019Hello, Griff. With all due respect, while one can do Stones songs as you demonstrate, it really doesn’t sound the same. You need that open D then drop in the 7. If you tune to D, you can capo for other Stones songs like You Got the Silver (F) and Prodigal Son (E). One can play You Can’t Always Get What You Want in standard tuning, but it’s not the same as in open G capo 5. Similarly, Wild Horses can be done in standard tuning, but it’s just not the same sound as it is in open G.
Love the nod to Joe Walsh….I suggest for fun check him out on YouTube with Les Paul at his club in NYC on Joe’s birthday many moons ago; First, hilariously funny, second Joe plays some smoking blues with Les. The entire series with Les is fantastic.
Best,
TAR
Larry Pitts
March 13, 2017THANKS for everything you do for us! You are the one i go to.
ALAN D
March 13, 2017Agree with the other guys Griff, a great excursion to add blues/rock to the courses we have and the lessons you give.
Looking forward to the issue!
john
March 13, 2017having a struggle with the funk 49 rhythm.
John Mayfield
March 13, 2017Another great lesson, Griff. Even if you never put out a Rock series, these ‘cross over’ lessons/videos are great. Thanks again for your commitment to our learning and education in guitar. You rock – pun intended!! John
Brad Carrier
March 13, 2017Which scale would you use to improvise over, say, the D/G, C/F rhythm riff? D or G? and would one then go to C and G, or just stay in G/D?
Jim
March 13, 2017Looks like you have struck a “chord” with many of your followers. Sorry if someone already beat me to the pun.
Rob
March 13, 2017Thank you Griff, more than well done, as always!
Like others have said: It’s high time to let us see and hear what you have already prepared as for ClassicRock. We’ll be delighted.
I, too, would rather call it the Keith Riff. This man, now over 70, is the pure riffmaster and he himself and the Stones still deliver the goods after more than 50 years, just have a look at the Cuba concert.
Also, it’s true that this riff he usually produces on his open G Tele with a neck-humbucker, no sixth string on his instrument, but surely using the fifth. Open G tuning, esp. on the tele, has the advantage of producing a less scratchy but warmer, more boomy and fuller and more distinctive awesome sound which you can clearly distinguish from a regularly tuned guitar.
Thanks a lot. We’re looking forward to your new course. BluesRock rules.
Paul
March 13, 2017Another Classic Rock example of this lick is The Doobie Brothers – Listen to the Music, Long Train Runnin’.
Terry b
March 13, 2017I hadn’t thought of doing that in standard tuning and your explanation of the middle three strings being the same tuning as open G is a real eye opener. Looking forward to the course!
Pete B
March 13, 2017Yo Griff.
It looks like your flock, really wants to rock. (lets put some words to the riff)
We have all seen the tabs before and got some idea of the rhythm but now the chords and what is going on starts to
make sense. Another great lesson Griff, if your thinking or actually getting a Rock Guitar Unleashed DVD together,
you know we are hungry for it.
Its only Rock and Roll but we like it.
Cant wait.
Pete
WILLIAM SPARKS
March 13, 2017great lesson send more.
Floridave
March 13, 2017Now this is stuff I can really use! I’ll be the first in line when you “unleash” it. I play to mainly 40’s
to 70’s classic rock crowds using a Taylor T5 and a Taylor G3 12 string. Blues is the root, but this is the fruit! Thanks Griff, been waiting for something I can sink my teeth in to!
John
March 13, 2017Love all your courses have quite a few crgu would be great. Sign me up for the first copy
Ingemar
March 13, 2017Great lesson!
Roger
March 13, 2017Awesome lesson…I am hoping that this is leading up to you releasing Classic Rock Unleashed..Saving my money just in case…
Rick
March 13, 2017Two more courses: classic rock and country. You could throw in heavy metal at some point. I’d be a customer for all of them. Wait! How about surf guitar??
Eric G.
March 14, 2017Totally agree. A course on old school heavy metal would be amazing.
Walter
March 13, 2017Hey Griff. Another very enjoyable learning experience. I’m sure that when your new courses arrive, they will be spectacular. Thank you! Thank you very much!
Gonçalo Neves Correia
March 13, 2017Great lessons !!! After we hear how it works it seems easy , because the explanation is awesome ,as always !!!
It seems that i`ll have another course to buy 🙂
Leo
March 13, 2017Yes Griff, it’s time for some classic rock. We all know you’re a blues guy but we all know you know some great classic rock stuff…bring it on!! A most excellent Stones move lesson. MORE, MORE, MORE
Gary Hunt
March 13, 2017Ha ha Looks like lots of pre-orders here myself included… all good Griff… I say 2 more video’s then he will release for the weekend sale
Frank Lombardi
March 13, 2017Griff,you play a lot cool Riffs.if you put out.some Rock DvDs.that’s cool other than your Blues Instruction
Break it up a little bit where’s Jimi Hendrix OH YA..everybody’s leaving the House…
Eric G.
March 13, 2017Griff! This is torture! Can’t wait for the CRGU course!
turbo
March 14, 2017The Stones, AC-DC, SRV they are all Killer BLUES Base groups. They should have a ( blues rock or rock blues how about classic blues rock category no not that) how about Rock & Roll or just the Blues it all came from the Blues or was that BGU ?Griff rules!!!!!! Oh we canot forget Hendrix can we You have to start at the beginning BGU then add you learn Rock then put the two together oh then you end up with rock and roll Oh were was I oh lesson 1 BGU this is so cool
Marvin Griffith
March 14, 2017Nice lesson Griff. I would be interested in a whole course on this as well!
Dave
March 14, 2017Griff,
This is great stuff. I would love the course.
David Drake
March 14, 2017Surprised you didn’t mention Joe Walsh. The last riff is basically Funk #49. Liking the CRGU stuff.
Fredrok2
March 14, 2017Making guitar FUN!
Jim
March 14, 2017Awesome video Griff. When is Classic rockGuitar unleashed coming out? Can’t wait will grab it as soon as it’s available. Thanks for all the free tips it is really great. Jim
Gil
March 14, 2017Griff, great stuff- and always right on time thanks for the help.
Raul Moralez
March 14, 2017Great stuff Griff. Thanks
Ernie
March 14, 2017Very Cool!. Thanks Griff, I love this kind of stuff.
Darcey
March 14, 2017Cool as a cool thing
Erik S. Friis
March 14, 2017Griff, I have almost all of your BGU courses. Consider yourself having a pre-order right here for any CRGU courses you’re about to release.
The Stones lesson is great! Would love to see a lot more Cream! Best rock band ever!
If they get away with chord for chord and note for note instruction on YouTube surely you can pull apart things like the Crossroads solo for us w/o worrying about being sued no?
Zeppelin’s rockers are great fun to play too and would be a wonderful lesson. Good Times, Bad Times must be done by you. Ultimate power chord intro there.
Great job! Even turned my buddy who is just getting started on to your new vids. He loves them!
Bob Hughes
March 14, 2017Love this! Thank you!
A course on classic rock would be awesome!!
Ken Kukla
March 14, 2017are you tuned down for this lesson? are guitars aren’t in sync.
Ken Kukla
March 14, 2017must nodded out. of course i mean our guitars aren’t in sync,
Mike in Bella Vista, Sydney
March 14, 2017I agree with many others. Rock Guitar Unleashed has got to happen. I have a ton of Griff’s stuff and he never fails to disappoint. Stuff starting from the likes of Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Peter Frampton, Grand Funk and a zillion others on from there. ROCK ON !!!!
david griffith
March 14, 2017‘… or you can think of it as a D with a cool variation.’ Yes indeed but now I also know that it’s a G and I didn’t know that until now. Your explanations are excellent and the way in which you bring ‘little’ chords into play is very helpful. As much to the point and on a grey day, your opening blast of the Stones really lifted my spirits. It was much the same with the AC/DC video. Thanks for your generosity, Griff … I’ve only bought two of your courses but, over the years, you must have tripled that and more with your free lessons.
I’ve been able to move from only singing to chords to having a pretty good sense of the five ‘boxes’ but still grappling with the pick, not knowing the fretboard but knowing that I need to get that … phew …. just as well that music is also fun. Still can’t play that 4 note blues of yours without it sounding like a pale version of an Irish Jig but it was your 4 note blues, many years ago, which inspired me to ‘have a go.’
Arthur Dubuc
March 14, 2017Love the Stones! It’s really awesome that you are incorporating their well deserved place with the blues Griff!
Janet Brooks
March 15, 2017Really enjoying this style of playing – Thank you
Stevie K.
March 15, 2017I can’t thank you enough for all the various video lessons! You are a great teacher and human being. My playing has improved 10 fold since I started watching your videos. Thank you Thank you.
Harold M.
March 15, 2017Awesome…I’m liking that so much. And like others would like to know when the Classic Rock Unleashed course is going to be released. I would also like to recommend that at least one full song and backing track be included when released.
Ron R .
March 15, 2017Hey Griff , can’t wait to try it , thanks
jim
March 16, 2017I am from the rolling Stones Era and they have always been a favorite. I even bought a book and cd to learn their songs. Thanks for the lesson. I will save this for later.
Stephen Walters
March 16, 2017Thank you Griff verrry much appreciated ..all you’r moves now I will be tuned in from Yu onwards ,I am a bit tight on the cash flow right .tho as soon as pos I will invest in some of your training in a better way for now look I will keep checkin your free sujestions which are not only viewed with gratitude but much needed by me as I know a fair bit about the fingerboard just shocking with beat and different timings thanks muchly Stephen. A fan …
Chuck3
March 17, 2017Yeah baby. That’s rock n roll. Good moves Griff! Thanks
Adam Wilson
June 28, 2017Hi I love you.
Mike
June 28, 2017From what I understand is Kieth Richards would use open G tuning at times……. This concept also works very well with that…….but the chords would be the modifed Kieth chords.. lol….. Also liked the last part of your lesson…..traces of James Gang funk 49
PREGENT.LUCIEN
June 28, 2017i would like to get from you lot of backround to play your riff i mean a lot.
tank,s whe to i get them.
PREGENT.LUCIEN
June 28, 2017i am away for 3 day ,s 28 , 29, and 30 june after i at home
Seth Tyrssen
June 28, 2017Good one, Griff — it’s not for nothing that Keith Richards has been described as “the great recycler of riffs,” he’s been using that one since the 60’s!
Joe D
June 28, 2017Great stuff as always Griff I have been a user of blues guitar unleashed for 10 years.I would love to buy the classic rock but health problems and being out of work for 2 years prevent me from doing so.Rock on
Rick Levy
June 28, 2017Did I miss completely the Drop D or DADGAD which Keith usually plays. That’s the sound I hear. thaankss in advance my keyboard sticks sorry and Jimmy Paige uses it often as well, Check Kasmir it is amazing, rtck
Jim
June 29, 2017Wow! Griff just keeps amazing me with his “freebies!” I’ve been following Griff for over 5 years (thought I would know everything there is to know by now!), and his “tidbits+” bag never seems to go empty! Great stuff – thanks Griff!
Alan Abriss
December 7, 2017Hey Griff, if you remove the low E string and tune the instrument to open G and then play these chords you’ll get that Keith Richards sound. Keith only plays 5 strings on his guitar. To you guys reading this give it a try,
Tim
December 7, 2017Billy Gibbons uses the technique in I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide. And a slight variation in Tube Snake Boogie.
Jr lacock
December 7, 2017Thanks for all the videos I do enjoy them a lots
steven siegel
December 8, 2017Griff
If Keith Richards ever needs a stand in you could be the one person to do it and well. Good video on the stones and there style of music.
Tim
February 25, 2018A few Doobie Brothers hits use variations of that move, too.
Gaston Collin
May 25, 2018great lesson Griff just great as usual! thanks
Charlie Durham
May 26, 2018Great video! No surprise there. Always enjoy your lessons,thanks.
Jack
May 26, 2018I use these chord voicings and inversions a lot, on blues and on classic rock tunes. They are several ways to play them that don’t sound as clunky as full barre chords, but still help carry the song. They also can be used in funk stuff to great effect. They are a great way to play with a second guitarist who plays standard chord forms without making the sound too muddy.
My brother taught them to me, and he called them Memphis Soul Chords. I don’t know if Steve Cropper really used them, but that’s where he said he picked them up.
Jack
John Campbell
May 28, 2018Hi there;
Lately, the video’s you send do not show up when I click on them. The sound portion works well, but not the visual portion. Not sure what is going on with them. Any ideas?
Thank you

Naomi
November 4, 2018I really appreciate you including the key signature and treble clef. Often I will memorize a riff but not really know what chords I’m playing over or what key the song is in. Tabs from the popular tab sites rarely include that information. Thanks Griff. Hey, I had subscribed to you some years ago but back then I didn’t have a guitar. Finally got one and I’ve been taking lessons ever since. It’s good to be back on your subscriber list.
Mick LaRocque
January 7, 2019James Gang rides again…fantastic! I’m excited again. Would have liked to have seen an expansion on the examples though, the next bars in the progression. I’m guessing those will be in the actual lesson though, right 😉 (I noticed the banner at the top of the page Classic Rock Guitar Unleashed).
Ernie White
January 15, 2019Another great simple lesson, so useful thanks.
Steven
January 18, 2019Is this kinda like playing a B to E Minor then C to F minor?
Steven
January 18, 2019I meant to say B to E minor than a A to D minor
Dan
January 18, 2019I call it 1-4 blending, I use it in many styles of music, I do a lot of double string playing in my leads also.
Dan
January 18, 2019Me again, the last sample you played is a lot like the country song “Working Man Blues” I love playing that song.
Brian
June 24, 2019Simply adding my voice here to the growing AVALANCHE of requests for a rock guitar course, Griff. If we love the blues, and the blues had a baby, how can we not spent a few more hours with her? Great stuff, as usual, Griff.
BOB MARSH
August 8, 2019Classic Rock Unleashed….Brilliant. Sign me up!
Robert
October 20, 2019This sounds surprisingly good, but I think doing the Keith Richards tuning (Drop D) sounds better. Had a ton of fun learning to finger the AC/DC “clear power chords” – I have found no one else on the internet showing how to make power chords be full bodied but ring clearer – I hate mud! I actually used 3 of them to play that bad ass song Stix does that comes in after Madam Blue – think its called America. Nothing Anthrax etc plays (death metal is not my kind of music) has heavier power chords than that piece or most of what AC/DC does.Thanks for the awesome tip.
DaveyJoe
December 16, 2019Cool stuff, Griff! Thanks so much…you always cover all the bases!
Steve Owens
December 19, 2019Griff The Riff Man :
Your counting video is cool. Just like the stones content here. Do you have a COUNTING lesson out there? If no it would be a good one.

January 3, 2020Hey Griff! C’mon give us a CLASSIC ROCK N ROLL COURSE…puleeeze!

February 7, 2020Outside of the Stones, my favorite uses of this technique is Funk 49 by the James Gang and All Right Now by Free.

September 27, 2020Griff, I guess not many have seen your CRGU course!! Please, please update the CRGU course and make it a flagship on its own or break out the blues/rock course !! All the best and thanks Griff.
Michael J. McRae
August 9, 2020Yeah, “Start Me Up” :)!
David Cooke
August 14, 2020Never mind a Rock Course; or even a Rolling Stones Course. I’d be more than happy with just a “Keef Korse”.

January 12, 2021In example #3 First chord ( you call it a G7 ) there isn’t even a G in it ?
Mace Leder
January 22, 2021Gotta tune to open G to play like Keith my friends.
Mike
August 12, 2021Reminds me of 30 Days In The Hole by Humble Pie. Wish I could sing like Steve Marriot but… I’m more like Lee Marvin.

August 12, 2021Great stuff Griff but you’re killin’ me!!!! Starting to work my way through BGU and now I want this too.
You’re an amazing teacher. Love all your courses and see myself learning from you for a very long time
Dr Tee
August 12, 2021absolutely one of the best–love the blues-rock “shortcuts”
how about a little more Joe Walsh/James Gang stuff ??

August 12, 2021So much for The Rolling Stones October 13, 2021 New Orleans Jazz Fest appearance. The whole festival has been cancelled again due to Covid and hopefully will be back the last week in April and first week in May in 2022. Until then, Rock On Players and make the best of your situation.

May 4, 2022Hey! I like adult-oriented articles. Hot content, in short.
Where are hot moms or older women with big butts.
Pictures like big black booty club. And categories like juicy vaginas
are also very engaging. Recommend!
Bill
May 17, 2022Very clever lesson Griff! Love your style and creativity!
Walter
June 24, 2022So the bar chord is the “A-Shape” chord from the “CAGED” system right? So regardless of which of the 12 chords is played the “A” shape stays the same.
Walter
June 24, 2022Duh! In my haste to get my two cents in I didn’t give the rest of the video a chance to run so I could see where you were going.
Forget my previous post

November 5, 2022Great move Griff! I want to know what settings you have on your pedals, guitar and amp to get the crunch you’re getting?
Michael P. McCartney
August 17, 2022Yes, it’s a Rolling Stones “sound,” but I like to call it the Keith Richards move. Cheers! 🙂
Vic M
November 5, 2022Nice lesson Griff! A little Keith Richards and Joe Walsh for practice today! Thanks and hope to see your band soon as I live in Plano!
Scott
November 5, 2022Great move Griff! Can you run through what settings you have on your pedals, guitar and amp to get the crunch you have for this?
