I would like to show you a variation utilizing the A and D cord in the key of A playing a blues shuffle. What I am going to demonstrate for you now is playing here, the fifth fret again, A and simply moving to D. Which is just moving the two fingers, the first and third fingers down to D. I am basically going to be playing the same note patterns with the chords, just shuffle from A to D. So what I am going to do here is go. So the rhythm here is two. Basically use my pinky to navigate the melody. Ninth and tenth fret and back to nine and then back to the root. Coming back to A. So basically, you are just playing A and D in a nice little shuffle rhythm.
