Nice lesson! He’s not kidding when he says you see these licks come up again and again. You’ll see them over and over with little variations. I’ve started using these licks as an exercise and a warm up and I find it really helpful.
Thank you! These are great licks that give stature, punctuation and energy and connect seamlessly to other things including chord shapes and scales. And as you say you hear them everywhere.
Thank you for this video. I am finally at the point where I know the major and minor pentatonic scales, and am now trying to learn licks and build speed. I feel like I have achieved some kind of minor milestone. Videos like this that are not geared toward more advanced players really help a lot.
Outstanding. Simple, straight forward and easy to follow and understand. I'm basically an acoustic fingerpicker, but I'm going to get these under my fingers and have some fun with them. Thank you Griff for taking the time in putting this together for us. Much appreciated.
Okay, this is the kind of things I've been looking for . The modules, used together, that make up classic modern blues moves that form a bar , turnaround, etc, that you could than branch out from. If you did a series on how blues players used these key moves, how each varied them, I would buy it. The key would be short, but complete statements like this, with TAB and an emphasis on INTERVALS. For instance, Clapton tended to resolve phrases to the 1st and 5th usually, while Hendrix might end on a 3rd. Also, an explanation of options for the. IV chord, with the in the above context would be great. And explaining and showing how , say the 3rd of the I chord becomes the 6th of the IV , OR whatever it does, and then more sample moves showing the elements of each one, would be incredible. People show fragments of these moves all over the net, but not with key move, with, examples, TAB, and intervals for the key players. Thanks, Vic
Great lesson, simple and to the point. I enjoy the fact that you don't yak, yak, yak like most tutorials have. Keep going right to the point and don't over explain and I'll keep watching.
Nice licks old mate, and not too difficult...love the finger rolls...l can hear Clapton all over it .....and of course Albert King was one of his idols if l'm not wrong. Thankyou....again, nice work!!
Great lesson. I’ve heard the 5th A not to the 10th A note referred to as the “1 to the 1” note, assuming it was referring to the 1, 4, 5 chords. Sounds really cool when you slide up to the 10th A too! ✌🏻🎸😎
Another great vid! But, in the first lick is there a good reason not to play the 5th note (the root) on the 10th fret of the B since that's where you want to end up anyway and it seems like it would be easier to control the note spacing?
It's just a comfort thing. If you feel more comfortable (meaning, there is less chance of making a mistake) then go ahead and do it that way. The sound and feel are your ultimate guides.
Actually, after I watched the video again, he is talking about the major scale not the minor. Both work for blues. Position 2 of the major lies over position 1 of the minor.
@@jgpie I'm not sure what you're asking, and I am by no means an expert. Position 2 of the major would lay over 3 of the minor. 3 over 4, 4 over 5, etc. The notes of both never change, just the position on the fret board. Hence the reason for the different positions in the first place.
@@humantripod7788 are you refeering to the major and minor PENTATONIC? The notes are different though. A Major pent have different notes than a minor pent.
Playing new music is the same thing unless it's 100% original 1st time played. If played by anyone else before, its a lick. So if he played a new song and you play it, it's a luck, you can't win.
I don't know how many times I have watched this will get tired of watching it again and again...the winter air start gets me every time 😅😊😊
Nice lesson!

Really nice licks Griff. Thanks a lot. This is how to put it all together
Love the tabs and the slow to faster versions…in the way to sound
Thank you! These are great licks that give stature, punctuation and energy and connect seamlessly to other things including chord shapes and scales. And as you say you hear them everywhere.
Thanks for your dedication to teaching others sir. Much appreciated. Nice job.
Great idea to offer little riff collections that can be learned and played. Hope you do more! Thanks.
you truly have the greatest videos of all the different people that i've seen.

Tabs on screen always helps 👍👍👍
Not if you can't read tabs.
@@kertbert1perfect opportunity to learn how to read tabs

Excellent sir.
Great lesson. Moves with all that bluesy flavour we love so much.

Thanks griff great lesson

Thx, nice licks
lol, "put some sugar on it" belongs in the previous vid, Blues Terms for Beginners. :)
Dig. Thank you for this.
good stuff.
good stuff!
Buddy Guy does the little “trail off” a lot in his playing.
NEATO!!!👍✊✌
This was helpful for me, as for my little nephew, he's now running around going "a 1 anda" " 2 anda" "3 anda" "4 anda".
Ha ha ha ha ha..good one!!!
Imagine looking this video up
is there a link for box 2 somewhere ? is it like a mixture of minor and major pentatonic ? thanks & peace !
Gold baby !
liking it !!!
i find it easier on the first lick to go right to the10th on the B an hit it twice rather than use the 5th fret on the E string
what pickups do you have in that guitar?
I felt guilty watching this one for free. ;)
George Allison I know...if there was premium content I would consider purchasing...

i like jimi hendrix !!!
Further on up the road
Agent Scully called. She wants her partner back.
'Gobs of licks' ...
What is “box 2”? Box 2 of what???
Of the minor pentatonic/ blues scale.
Actually, after I watched the video again, he is talking about the major scale not the minor. Both work for blues. Position 2 of the major lies over position 1 of the minor.
HumanTripod got it, thanks. Wouldn’t position 1 of both Major and Minor pentatonic fit over each other more than this?
@@jgpie I'm not sure what you're asking, and I am by no means an expert. Position 2 of the major would lay over 3 of the minor. 3 over 4, 4 over 5, etc. The notes of both never change, just the position on the fret board. Hence the reason for the different positions in the first place.

Where can I get the blues backing tracks
I just played a blues into a looper, nothing fancy at all.
Can't hear when you're talking.
Licks are old music. Play new music!
Playing new music is the same thing unless it's 100% original 1st time played. If played by anyone else before, its a lick. So if he played a new song and you play it, it's a luck, you can't win.
What size strings are you using on each?
Ernie Ball Regular Slinky - 10s. That's pretty much for every guitar I have.
