Good technique tutorial here. I've been messing around with this for years until I heard Grissom, and it opened things up for me. Now it sets my playing apart from others. Fretting the low E string and playing the octave upis also an important part of this.

[@IvorThomas]

Grissom has been a huge blip on my guitar radar lately.

[@lawlaw1]

Love that sound. Nasty!

[@JeffMcErlain]

I love that sound as well!

[@if6turnedouttobe9]

This is one way Billy sounds so full for a three piece. He plays licks like that in between his awesome tasty leads and it sounds so smokin great...

[@dwaynemullett9462]

Amazing playing Jeff Im gonna purchase your truefire Billy Gobbons style lesson.

[@bayougtr]

Get the David Grissom lesson too. I have it, relay helped my playing! You get two lessons for the price of one.

[@Wagiblues]

Thank you a lot - was searching an explanation for that kind of Guitarplaying.
D. Grissom & Band was here playing 3 weeks ago - the people and myself very exited. I am only wondering, why David is so less known here before.

[@donnyt7799]

Cool af. My first love was tuning the guitar and sliding the string under to make harmony. I'd just do that for hours and that was it. Still wasn't in tune. 😀

[@koenroels4549]

This dude shows big stuff! Like pro stuff :)

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks! You can check out my instructional material from TrueFire on my website jeffmcerlain.com/instruction/truefire-video-courses/ Thanks for chiming in and I'm glad you dug the lesson!

[@sinisailjadica1842]

Thanks Jeff. Hello from Florence, Italy. Great guitar as usual. I found Your tutorials on truefire and UA-cam very useful for my blues. I'm a fan of Rev. Billy G.
Could You make a lesson here for Apologies to Pearly from Rio grande mud?
Thanks.

[@KelsterVonShredster]

Man I love the tones you get in your videos......do you remember what you were playing through here?

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks yes! That is a plug-in S-Gear by Scuffham amps. Great amp sim.

[@KelsterVonShredster]

@@JeffMcErlain thanks for the reply! I appreciate it.

[@MrPeeBeeDeeBee]

Wow I finally got that Grissom thing! Thank you =D Just wondering what pedal and amp was kickin' that along?

[@paraguitarmedic]

This is what's up. I broke out a lick like this at a gig a few weeks ago and really turned some heads.

[@JeffMcErlain]

That's great to hear Joel! Thanks for letting me know!

[@giovanigiorgos2955]

Love the tone..........what's your signal chain?

[@JeffMcErlain]

That is actually a great plugin called S-Gear by Scuffham amps.

[@giovanigiorgos2955]

What amp from S-Gear?

[@JeffMcErlain]

That's the Steeler with the 4x12 basket weave and the 57 mic.
