Playing Through The Blues
I've just finished looking at Griff Hamlin's latest
package, Playing Through The Blues - A Guide For The
Lead Guitar Player. Obviously I see a lot of products
either because I'm looking for something specific, or
because someone wants me to promote their product.
Most of the time I'm less than impressed, but this
product has me quite excited because it is so different
from anything I have seen in a long time. That is why
I have taken the time to sit and type a letter to all
the people I know and tell you all about it.
Learning the blues can be a frustrating task. It seems
so simple, but only a handful of people seem to know
the trick to really making it sound great. Griff and
his team have put together what I believe is a really
thorough, step-by-step method that has actually been
tested and proven on his own guitar students over the
past several years.
The main book provides all of the scales, techniques,
theory, and tricks that you'll need. It follows a
simple and logical progression. Each chapter builds on
the one before it. At the end of each chapter, you'll
be told exactly what you need to be able to do before
moving on to the next chapter. You can't fail with this.
The best part, however, is the audio examples and jam
tracks. Every audio example comes with a full speed
and slow speed version, so you can play along easily
at first, and pick up the pace as you get better.
There's also 4 complete solos that really sound like
they are from your favorite blues songs. You could
memorize them and totally use them at your next blues
jam or gig. They demonstrate all of the techniques
throughout the book, and give a very good "real world"
example of the techniques and approach.
Also, there are 6 jam tracks that come with the
package, so once you get going you can just play
along with the band. And the tracks are really good
quality, just like you're jamming with a real band.
It's a lot of fun.
As a bonus Griff has included an excellent book full
of turnaround and ending licks. Some of them are
pretty straight forward blues, but a couple of them
are real head-turners.
As you can tell, I'm really impressed with this
package as a whole. The testimonials on the website
prove that I'm not alone. This is a very well thought
out, tested, and put together system.
Don't just take my word for it though, take a look
for yourself at:

The Who star at Glastonbury mudbath
GLASTONBURY (Reuters) - Rock godfathers The Who headline at Glastonbury on Sunday with persistent rain turning the rural English meadows which host the world's biggest greenfield music and arts festival into a high-spirited mudbath.
Baba O'Riley
Tractors spread straw and woodchips as paths became harder to negotiate, but music-inspired festival-goers in brightly coloured ponchos and rubber wellington boots danced, frolicked and played undaunted.
"It's gone very well in spite of the rain, in spite of the mud," upbeat festival founder Michael Eavis said on Sunday.
"Believe it or not the drains have actually worked ... the show compensates for the weather ... the sun's not everything."
Other big acts on the third and final day of Glastonbury include British music sensation the Kaiser Chiefs, angsty rockers Manic Street Preachers, Californian indie band Cold War Kids, Arkansas' The Gossip, and Welsh diva Shirley Bassey.
Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot
More than 1,200 of the record 177,500 attendees had been injured by Sunday, mostly with sprains and bruises from slipping in the mud at Eavis's farm in southwest England set up in the 1970s as a musical hippy haven.
Police said one 26-year-old man had died from a suspected drugs overdose and that despite far more people on site than last year there were fewer arrests and these were mostly drug related. Only 31 thefts were reported.
Downpours were forecast for the rest of the festival but organisers said the flooding would have been much worse without the new 100,000 pound ($199,000) drainage system and other precautions installed by 71-year-old Eavis.
"I was completely unprepared for the Glastonbury experience," said Norwegian singer Lawra Somby, with the group Adjagas, who had to walk barefoot through the mud because he had the wrong shoes before he togged up with boots and raincoat.
Many people were fretting about how they would exit the rural muddy site on Monday.
KILLERS' PYROTECHNICS
American indie rock kings The Killers rounded off the second day of the festival on Saturday night with a storming 1-1/2 hour-long set that left the main stage audience cheering for more.
Against a pyrotechnic display The Killers played some of their biggest hits, like "All These Things That I've Done" and "Smile Like You Mean It".
Bad boy rocker Pete Doherty and his band Babyshambles, dressed as 1930s gangsters, played a popular set, with Doherty's partner supermodel Kate Moss joining in on backing vocals.
Dirty Pretty Things, featuring Doherty's former Libertines band mate Carl Barat, made their debut Glastonbury performance to riotous applause, singing tracks including "Gin and Milk".
Barat squashed this year's Glastonbury rumour that the Libertines would reunite for the festival. "I'd love to play with Pete one day," he said.
As The Killers played their set, music legend Iggy Pop and the Stooges played on the Other Stage. Iggy, in a trademark wild gesture, invited a fan on stage. Once one fan was on stage the floodgates opened and Iggy was soon swamped by up to 400 fans.
Paul Williams, a security guard at the event said: "Iggy broke the rules big time." Fans were removed from the stage by a combination of the security team and Iggy pleading with the fans to "calm it down".
During the stage invasion, Ron Asheton's Fender guitar was stolen and one man was arrested for indecent exposure.

Stones to end festival with 'bang'
(Friday June 08, 2007)
More than 30,000 music fans will be heading to the Isle of Wight this weekend to see the Rolling Stones headline their first UK festival appearance in more than 30 years.
This year's event is the sixth since the festival was relaunched 30 years after its heyday when it attracted up to one million hippies to the island.
The Isle of Wight festivals at the end of the 1960s were a series of legendary events featuring Bob Dylan, The Who, Free, The Doors, Joni Mitchell and Jefferson Airplane, culminating in 1970 with 600,000 hippies descending on the island to see Jimi Hendrix perform his penultimate concert.
The rolling Rolling Stones Bigger Bang Vancouver
Since re-starting the festival, world-renowned acts such as Coldplay, The Who, David Bowie, Robert Plant, Lou Reed, Foo Fighters and REM have played.
John Giddings, of festival organisers Solo, said: "We would never have attempted to restart the festival without having such a strong history - the Isle of Wight was the Woodstock of Europe.
"I saw Jimi Hendrix there, and was proud to be offered the chance to contribute to the island's musical heritage. The unique location brings out the best in artists; it relaxes them and contributes to some stunning performances.
Rolling Stones Don't wanna go home.Bigger Bang Photo Session
The Rolling Stones, whose last UK festival was Knebworth Fair in 1976, kicked off their European tour in Belgium this week with a 30-mile traffic jam of fans queueing to see them in the town of Werchter.
But the critics and 33,000 fans were wowed by the old-timers' "A Bigger Bang" tour which will feature 30 gigs across Europe including performances in Belgrade, Serbia, and in St Petersburg, Russia, which the band has never visited before.
In addition to making stops in Eastern Europe, the band will play in Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland and Scandinavia.
The Stones' previous tour became the highest-grossing in concert history in November 2006, netting the band more than £50 million last year and putting them at the top of Forbes' annual list of music's biggest earners.

Stones traffic chaos
(Wednesday June 06, 2007 02:40 PM)
The Rolling Stones brought traffic in a Belgian city to a standstill last night, as they kicked-off the latest leg of their enormous world tour.
The rock legends played a show in Werchter in front of a sold-out crowd of 33,000, as their "Bigger Bang" global jaunt landed in Europe.
Apparently interest in the concert beforehand was so big that a tailback stretching 30 miles built-up on roads approaching the concert, affecting many fans trying to get to the gig.
Rolling Stones - Live in Rio - 2006 - Brown Sugar
The Stones are scheduled to play in France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, Scandinavia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and the UK in the coming months.
Their set-list last night was as follows, according to the NME:
"Start Me Up"
"Shattered"
