Blues Rhythm Octave - Minor 3rd
|
Did you know? My New Website is now live - Master Guitar Academy. Join me there - it's where you can learn with me every week. Both live sessions and new weekly lessons, continually.
Slowing down songs is another great way to learn from records and your song collection. I use Song Surgeon, which works really well for this. Check it out. |
Guitar Lesson Overview
Here is an E blues shuffle emphasizing the octave and the minor 3rd - simple pattern that sounds cool. It's sounds quite "minor", unless you bend that G note up to G#. Minor blues is cool too!
The B (5 chord) part is a bit tricky. You can hear in the video how I mess up the first 8th note in the demonstration. That's okay though, you don't have to be perfect when playing the blues, but make sure you keep accurate time - always practice with a metronome! Also make sure you play the correct number of measures for each chord.
I used a Hell Bender from http://www.HellGuitars.com and a Line 6 POD HD500 from http://line6.com
Order the HD500 from Amazon
Order the HD500 from Guitar Center
