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.

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).

I want to tell you about the guitar lesson web site JamPlay. They have kindly offered a special 7 Day Free trial to visitors of Dolphinstreet.com. I have reviewed their site, and I have to say it is VERY impressive.
There are lots of teachers and many different areas to learn from. It is well organized, and you can learn songs, techniques, etc - very complete website for learning. After 7 days, you will pay a monthly subscription continue. For the 7 trial, you don't have to give out your credit card number.

You are a terrific teacher. There are a lot of folks who can play guitar but few good teachers. Thank you for making it so clear!
Comment added on October 15, 2010Thanks 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
