Riff 6 for Playing Blues Guitar in A

What I'm going to show you, here, is using two chords and using a harmonized chord to make a nice little turnaround for the progression while you're playing it. What I'll show you here is playing A major 7, playing that rhythm. Now, you can choose what fingering you're going to use. Me, I use my pinkie on this one. Because you can also go (demo), which is what a lot of guitar players do. So, what I'm going to do, here, is play my standard Blues shuffle rhythm (demo). Then, what I'm going to do is make my harmonized chord which is the two strings together, played together in a harmony. I'm going to slide from the fifth fret to the seventh fret and then back to the fifth fret, coming back to D and then back on A. Essentially, what I'm doing is going.(demo). That makes for a very nice melody plus a rhythm while playing in the key of A.
