Tim Pierce: My #1 Favorite Guitar Delay Trick: What I DO and NEVER DO with this AMAZING effect
What I DO and NEVER DO with this AMAZING effect...........
"More than any other effect on my guitar, I am addicted to delays!
I darken them and modulate them so that they get hidden behind the original signal.
I also hide the delay trails..
This way you may not know I’m using them, but they are still making the guitar sound very wide and spacious."

Beginning Blues Guitar Lesson - The 4 Blues Chord Shapes You Should Know
"The blues typically revolves around 7th chords... not major 7th, and no minor 7th, but dominant 7th chords.
Those chords can come in a few different shapes and sizes, but there are some basics that you really should know, and that's today's video."...Griff.

Blues Soloing Move - House Pattern (Major) To Box 3 Pentatonic Minor To Pentatonic 6 Pattern
This video is one of my favorite "moves" around and through some of my favorite blues soloing scales and sounds.
If you've ever heard me talk about what I call the, "core position," for many blues players... this is it.
"Notice how, with minimal movement, I can go through 3 unique sounds easily and comfortably, with only minor adjustments getting from one scale to the next...
In my opinion, that should be your goal, not moving around the fretboard in large leaps and bounds."....Griff
