The Slow blues supplement is probably the best material I have seen. I have been using this knowledge with your Little Wing and Stormy Monday which you are showing in G, so its all like one really huge lesson. People need to understand the difference between a relative and a parallel minor though. Hats of to you though! Someone is finally teaching and guiding us through it. Hey Griff,

First, I bought your Blues Guitar Unleashed course a bunch of years ago, after buying the version prior to that one. In my never ending quest to become even more anal then I am, I am trying to get as much of my instructional material put on my iPad as possible. Would you happen to have a pdf of the Blues Guitar Unleashed manual that I could put onto my iPad? Second, in the past 2 years, I have gone primarily acoustic. In fact, I sold my electrics to buy some ridiculously nice Bourgeois guitars. I will buy another electric at some point in the not too distant future, but focusing on my acoustic chops primarily at the moment. Your new course that Murnahan just announced through email. Applicable to acoustic as well? Or will it frustrate me trying to do that stuff on acoustic. Best, Larry Hey Griff,

I appreciate all your hard work and it is really helping me. I received the slow blues supplement a couple days ago and am 100% confidant that it will be a major factor in my advancement to the next level! I will say that you don't want to drop everything else you are working on and just master this course, you will fall off if you do. On the other hand I know that following this course and practicing it will have probably the most impact of anything that is out there now. Hey Griff,

Loved it. First time anyone has coherently explained how the pentatonic covers the ionian, lydian and mixolydian common notes. Well done. What I don't get though is this. If I play a C as a I chord, I will want the ionian scale. If I play it as a IV chord, the lydian, as a V, the mixolydian. But surely all I am really doing is playing the relative I chord ionian notes each time (as in, the C lydian is the same notes as a G ionian, and C mixolydian is the same notes as a F ionian)? So why all the flowery language? Just play the ionian for the key you're in but start on a different note? Anyway - still love what you're putting out. You make a lot of sense. Hi Griff,

I am just wondering if you have anything on how to practice and learn moving up and down the neck so that I can improvise in more than one position. Something that will help me become proficient at improvising in any given blues key at different places on the neck without suddenly realising I am totally lost.

One question....on your DVDs there is much discussion about "boxes". Are the "Boxes" (scales?) the same concept as what some instructors refer to as different "positions" on the fret board? Maybe you cover this in your beginners series (which I did not purchase as I have been taking lessons from other instructors locally for the past year). I just need more info on the boxes. Thanks. Griff,

I recently bought Pentotonic Scales & Technique Mastery to go along with Begining Blues Guitar. After only 2 weeks my speed, accuracy and timing have all improved a great deal. Of all the instructional material I have bought, yours is the best. Thanks Robert Griff, I started playing about 16 months ago and found one of your free vids soon after.
