Guitar Lesson Overview
Here is a shuffle blues in the key of E. The video shows a few different way to play the same thing - with string muting and with a raking approach so it sounds more like the Texas Shuffle SRV often did. This type of groove is great for practicing blues licks to. I will present some ideas in future video lessons.
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 August 11, 2009Very nice Robert. I think this shuffle in E will be perfect for "I Hear You Knockin'" by Fats Domino, later recorded by Dave Edmunds. Though I am not sure what key he recorded it in.
