David Grissom Guitar Masterclass | Tone, Licks, Tips, Texas Blues, & Hybrid Picking [Full Lesson]

Welcome back to another exciting episode of Chords & Coffee, the weekly show where we dive deep into all things music with your host, Nate White!

David Grissom has an unmistakeable sound. A legendary PRS artist whose resume spans The Allman Brothers Band, Storyville, Buddy Guy, and John Mellencamp to The Dixie Chicks and Ringo Starr, he shares unparalleled insight into achieving legendary tone. He covers specialized Right Hand & Volume Knob technique, his versatile "Americana Scale", the secret to making small chords sound huge, and how to play with Authority & Finesse.

As the great B.B. King advised: "Play like anyone you care about, but try to be yourself while you're doing so."
