Riff 1 for Playing Blues Guitar in E

I'm going to begin this series by showing you basic Blues rhythms in the key of E. Essentially, what we're going to start with is placing your first finger on the second fret, which is B on the A string, and playing it with E which is essential E five chord. You're going to use your third finger to hit the fourth fret and then essential what were going to do is have this rhythm. And we're going to play it over and over again. This is your most basic Blues rhythm and you're only playing on two strings and pretty much it's going to go like this. (audio demo) You want to keep doing that just get comfortable with playing the two strings right there and essentially it's going back and forth. (audio demo)
