Guitar Lesson Overview
Here is slow blues shuffle in the key of E. This type of shuffle rhythm is great to build upon. In this free lesson, we do just that, by adding two great sounding blues licks at the end of each bar. Download the PDF with Tab, or the Guitar Pro 5 or Guitar Pro 6 files below. It is a great helper to have Guitar Pro as you are learning from my lessons, since you can then both see and hear the notes on the screen as they are being played. Let me know how you like this free lesson! If you found this useful - you could hit the donate button below to support what I'm doing.
Here are the Guitar Pro files and PDF with Tab/Notation:

Download Guitar Pro
I highly recommend you buy Guitar Pro - it's the best software I have found for learning guitar. Many of my lessons come with Guitar Pro files. You can download a trial version on the Guitar Pro website to see if you like it (I think you will). Click this banner below to try out this great software. Buy it - it is more than worth it. With Guitar Pro, you can both see and hear the notes as they are being played back.
Guitar Theory Made Simple!
Understanding I-IV-V is an intensive 65 minute video that will give you a crash course on guitar theory. It is not a complete lesson on music theory. Instead, this is the perfect introductory tool to get you started on the guitar, or to reveal the secrets of the fretboard that you are not aware of yet. You will learn why chord numbers are far more important than chord letters, how to write your own songs and chord progressions effortlessly and endlessly, and much more.

Guitar Pro
I use Guitar Pro for most of my video lessons. It is a great product that will not only show you the notes in both TAB and standard notation, you will also HEAR them being played at the same you see them. Very helpful for learning! Click the link below to try the free demo.
Video Clips
I have lots of gear demos too on this site. Go and take a look at some of my Guitar Videos for some examples of gear I use or have used.

Comment added on January 01, 2012Great lesson. Pure Blues !!!
Nice to see an other player on a Hagstom. I own a black Viking Deluxe. awsome guitar.
Nice, easy and relaxed lesson and one really gets the feel that is put into each note. And yes from just this, one can add a lot to it or just perhaps a double stop here and there.

Comment added on October 28, 2011Dear Mr. Robert Renman, Your riff so nice & useful. we have learn more riffs from you.
Comment added on July 17, 2011WWWow!! Its so cool and soft. 10 times thanks.
Comment added on June 05, 2011Wow! Robert that was a great lesson! The foot-tapping technique was invaluable. I was never taught that 30 years ago when I was a teenager and that is probably why my interest waned over the years. Now that I have started to learn the guitar again that technique will help keep my interest and make learning more fun! Thanks again my man!

Your generosity is wonderful.
Can I put a link to YOU on MY web stuff please.
Again you have posted a great and interesting lesson. I enjoyed this blues lick. Thanks
Comment added on August 11, 2010Robert, excellent lesson, easy to follow and the explanation of the last part was easy to follow. Cheers.
Comment added on August 11, 2010Hi Robert,
though this is in fact a very basic lesson it's a very good one as well - mainly because you take your time and stress the rhythmic aspect by exactly counting the beats and offbeats. Timing just cannot be overrated as you can sound amazing playing slow (but in time) whereas you can sound terrible playing fast (even the correct notes) while missing the beat. So I'm glad you put your finger to this.
Wow....that was so cool sounding and, easy to learn thats the best part. Definitley one of my favs. Thanks a bunch Robert. Love your lessons.
