How to Play the Blues Guitar Shuffle Pattern
Hi! My name is John Armstrong from ExpertVillage.com. Today I will be discussing with you the ins and outs of electric Blues Guitar. Okay with this next blue shuffle I am going to add a couple of little hammer ons, spice it up a little bit, I am going to add a walk up from my one chord to my four chord and an extended turn around at the end and remember at the last extended turnaround we did in G, started back here and I pedal toned it, I pedal toned back to the G note.
