Yes, I know, I talk about rhythm and counting all the time...

I do that because of 2 important reasons:

1 - Your rhythms are the single most important thing you have...
Blues is based around the blues scale, we all play the same handful of notes...

What makes it sound good (or not) is how you utilize rhythm...
And the variety within your rhythms.

2 - Most people I work with, both online and off, come from some sort of "self-taught" background...

Maybe it was a friend or a teacher back in the day...

Or just various YouTube videos over the last year or two (or three)...

But most of the folks I work with simply haven't had ANY sort of rhythm associated with their lessons.

In fact, other than my videos, when was the last time you watched a YouTube video where the beat was counted out?

There is simply no other instrument on the planet that does that... every piano, horn, and string player learns using traditional musical notation, and that means they have to understand and count rhythms.

Today, my mission takes a dramatic leap forward...

My mission is to get everyone counting...

Until you don't have to count any more (If you don't get that joke, it's okay... just know that I want you to have killer control of rhythm and timing.)

To that end I have worked almost exclusively over the last several months on something I call "rhythm figures..."

And that work has paid off with a new workshop course called Rhythm Figures For Blues Lead Guitar!

There is simply nothing like it anywhere that I've ever seen, and it will change your life... no, I'm not kidding.

You can learn more about this new workshop and grab it at a discount this week because it's brand new here:

But you may want to learn more about rhythm figures and how they will help you...

So I put together this video to walk you through the process of how to use the workshop...

Along with some downloads so you can try it for yourself first and prove to yourself that this is really going to change how you approach all music, forever.

And the downloads (including this video) are all here:

This is a little longer than many of my videos, about 30 minutes... but very much worth your time.

So please, at least give this a try...

All you have to do is "do what I do and say what I say," in the video 🙂

  • @rafa_guitar
    Wow Griff!!! I'm really impressed, I've been looking to improve the rhythm since I started playing in 2017, many videos watched so far, but never found something so effective practical, I noticed how improved immediately and I really like your proposal and how you have organized it, I decided to buy your rhythm course just now! Thank you so much for helping us improve, best wishes!!!!
  • @FerrisFlyer
    Amazing. Exactly what I have been looking for. Playing over 20 years and have had some pretty frustrating times switching from rhythm to lead simultaneously just on feel alone. I'm hoping counting is the missing link for me. Thanks Griff.
  • @canadianintheukbrian

  • @rafa_guitar

    A harder thing for me personally has been landing chord tones on beat one of IV and V of the changes ....timing is everything...great lesson
