Another variation of the E blues rhythm is pretty much just still staying in the E and the A cords. I would like to show you how this looks here. What I am going to do is play, I am going to play it up to speed and then I will break it down and play it slow. Basically, what I am doing there is also throwing an off note that is not expected in typical blues playing. Which is both on the fifth fret of the A and the E strings. What I am doing here is going. So I am playing E, third fret, fourth fret on the E string. Then the second fret, fourth fret and fifth fret on the A string. And then the second, fourth and fifth on the B string. So what I am doing here is going. And that is something that is a little more unexpected and yet another variation of playing E blues.
