Greg will explain and demonstrate each of the 14 Gristleman techniques sharing some of his own creative twists for each. Using backing tracks from his own records, Greg will also perform an example for musical context followed by a detailed breakdown.

You will play your way through all 14 sets of lessons including: Poultry Pluckin' and Cluckin’, Hybrid Picking Leads, Travis Picking, Vicious Vibratos, Beastly Blues Bends, Pre-bent Chords & Hybrid Harmonics, Pinch Harmonic Savagery, Comping in "Shuffle & Swingland”, Double-Stops with Drones, Funky Finger Picked Comping, Sultry Slide Soloing in Standard, Rock Double-Stop Soloing, Constructing Longer Solos, and Triple-Stop Comping Like an Organ.

You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the playing examples and performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. 

You can also loop or slow down any of the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are also included to work with on your own.
