I received an e-mail from hearandplay about a guitar course taught by Bobby Griffin. Anybody have any experience with this dvd. I have'nt picked up my guitar in a few years, just bass. I consider myself an advanced beginner (I know the CAGED and easier 4 string voicings). Will this help get me up to speed on praise songs? Thanks. http://www.hearandplay.com/newguitar (http://www.hearandplay.com/newguitar)

I purchase the download about two weeks ago....and haven't had time to watch it yet.
I also purchased the DVD today just to show my support for Hear & Play producing more guitar specific offerings in the future.
There's so little offered in this vein that I think ALL guitarists should pick up a copy! 8)

yeah, I need a guide to some of these old school baptist songs...

When you get a chance please post a short review. I agree with you about the purchasing support. I love all of the things I have gotten from Jermaine and will purchase this DVD if it isn't too far over my head. Thanks.

On a side note... I wasn't familiar with what the CAGED thingy was, so I looked it up, and I'm racking my brain trying to figure out why this is even needed.
When I learned all of my movable chords, I just memorized where the roots are in the shape, and I just put that where it needed to go.
Why fancy-up something that's as simple as 'learn your fretboard'?
Maybe i'm becoming old and hard-nosed, but at a quick glance, I didn't see the benefit of giving a necessity a fancy name.
Then again... I'm in the restroom at work right now, so what do I know? Lol

I think stuff like this is good for a guitarist who would like to play gospel music.
I learned this stuff the long way around and I am still learning to play it BETTER THAN EVER.
Videos like this and music theory will make a great gospel musician.

I have the dvd. It is cool and worth the money.The dude is bad.These type of songs, foundation are simple.You know,1-4-1-4-5.Throw in 6,then 2-5-1,to get you back to the start of song.But,it up to you to add flavor.He show how he do it.Do you know,what i called the gospel scale.It is a must.You can use four chord vocing,but this dvd get much deeper that that.He play all songs in ab.With some James feel,and a touch of jazz.But,get it.You can`t go wrong.This brother is so badd. 8)

** Guitarist Tip from The Video **
"Fully 80% of your Baptist hymns can be performed and sung to the same rhythm, chord forms and guitar licks as 'Hot For Teacher' by Van Halen" -- Gospel 101 ;)
Who'da thunk it?!? :o :o

makes total sense to me...most congregational/hymn type songs are very repetitive and don't allow for very much creativity. that doesn't mean it's easy to play them...if you don't have pocket or feel you won't sound good...but the actual chords/notes themselves are pretty standard blues/country fare...

Congregation songs,is before church service starts.Hymns,are normanlly what you opens the service up with.Blues,yea for sure.Country,not in the baptist church. Yes,some from western standard music.Jlynnb1 yes pretty standard stuff.But,there is the opportunity,to make things interesting.This music is so fast,it`s sometimes hard to get licks in between chords.Somethings to use,is the gospel scale,and the gospel bounce.Throw in some quartet licks,use that pinky. 8)

yeah i know the difference...but imho the only chance to make things very interesting is if the whole band is trying to. if most cats are playing traditional styles and you are trying to throw in outside stuff it's not gonna sit. also, if you don't think country guitar influences that stuff you are crazy....especially anything remotely related to quartet/old school church music. all those quartet licks some of you guys love have so much country influence in them it's crazy. just goes to show that everything influences everything else...whether we realize/admit it.

I have been wrong before.Can you post some country music.That reminds anybody on this green earth of black gospel,congregational,or quartet.I would love to hear it. There is ,no Hee-Haw in my church.

and not all country music is hee-haw. if you don't think the country/rockabliiy players from the 50's and 60's influence r&b/blues pioneers of the same era (and vice versa)..i don't knwo what to tell you...

Okay,is this congregational,or quartet.

Okay,post me something.
please try to understand the difference between an influence and sounded JUST LIKE something. No, you won't hear much brad paisley blazin chicken pickin in a gospel/quartet....you WILL hear alot of double stops, what you refer to as the bounce, minor blues/major blues runs, etc. I never said that it would sound exactly like country, just that the influence was there.
it's like when I hear brad paisley use octaves like Wes in some of his instrumental stuff. it doesn't sound just like Wes, but i can recognize the influence.
a true guitarist/musician has the ability to listen to and absorb various styles and make them their own. you hear hints of where it came from, but it's still original. that's the difference between being influenced by someone and being a poor imitation.

Blues...

Can someone please explain this ( congregation songs are be fore service starts) ?/? I always thought of them being a part of the devotional service. ::)

I agree with Mr. Mod to a certain extent. I don't know much about country music but I do know alot about Quartet I've been singing it for about 13 years and playing it for as long as I've been playing the guitar. I have heard some similarities. Now who influenced who I don't know.

I've always felt that Eddie Van Halen's rhythm playing is adaptable to gospel.

EVH had groove.
"I'm the one" has such an awesome fast-shuffle feel to it..."Beautiful girls" has a great mid-tempo shuffle..."Little Dreamer" has that urban street at night feel to it..."Take your whiskey home", again with the mid-tempo shuffle..."So this is love" have a killer shuffle feel to it...and I could go on and on, but the point's been made.

Ok, y'all are just making me want to dig up my early VH albums (all of which I also have on vinyl lol)
Aw, who am I kidding... Dig up? They're still in my CD case in my car... Not gonna lie lol

devotional is in the start of service but the quote was:

well I checked out the DVD and it's pretty good. It's definitely not for beginners. At the very beginning it might seem like it but he quickly goes into the good stuff...

I downloaded the G-G-101 course and like it. Be prepared to hit the backspace(rewind) key to repeat some key points. The split screen format is good and Bobby has a personality you'll like.
I look forward to G-G-102 Lead Guitar soon.

I have bought one or two Hear and Play DVDs and they are actually all pretty good. Like most DVD instructionals, they just need discipline to go through them. The tendency is to rush through and look for the good stuff without being patient. Take it chapter by chapter and you should be fine.
