Texas Blues Shuffle Video Lesson
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 Lesson Overview
Here is a shuffle blues lesson in the key of E. It's in the style of Texas Blues, check Stevie Ray Vaughan's Pride and Joy for a great "real" example. The way I am playing my version in this video is very similar to Stevie's version. Note that the raking, "loose right hand" effect I mention in this video was the way Stevie pretty much always played these shuffles. I am showing how you can still play the basic shuffle pattern by using the simpler way by using down strokes.

Comments on this video lesson:
Thanks for all the great feedback, I am glad this little shuffle is useful for you!
Comment added on April 11, 2010I just wanted to thank you for your clip. I put down the guitar for about a decade. I knew I was missing something when I bought a used strat copy to bang around on. I can actually still read ! And this little shuffle and I, thanks to your video (I'll be hearing it for a month now), are going to get to be good friends. Peace

Comment added on October 16, 2009Simple to the point sounds great. Great video it doest beat around the bush
Comment added on June 29, 2009cool sound on your guitar. What is giving you that Stevie Strat sound besides your 18amp head you use. I have a 66 Showman with the unique "tone ring" blending with a A/B switch connected to a Fender Priceton Chorus amp and a 50th annivesary Strat. Great blend but I still dig your raw sound on that Texas thang you do. Stay zoned bro I look for you daily. rusty
