Riff 10 for Playing Blues Guitar in A

What I'm showing now is a A blues progression or actually just the chord, but throwing in a little lick while you're playing your rhythm and I'm going to demonstrate it slowly and then play it up to speed. What I'm going to do here is play A major seven in the same kind of blues rhythm. Playing that type of rhythm and what I'm going to do is play on the G, is hammer on and then play on the high E string note so it will sound like this. So played slowly it's hammer on, pick the high E string which is on the fifth fret which is A. Then the return to your rhythm on the A major seven chord. And basically the only finger you're going to move is your middle finger. So, you can go. So, just basically playing that twice and only moving your middle finger. So, up to speed it's. That's throwing a nice little hammer on lick to give it that nice bluesy feel with your rhythm.
