Riff 11 for Playing Blues Guitar in A

I'd like to show you in the first position, here, on the second fret, on the A. I'm going to play in the key of A. Instead of playing it up on the fifth fret like I was doing, I'm going to show you it down here playing A and D together and showing you some different fingerings you can use. So what we're going to do, here, is play on A, second fret and, instead of up here on the fifth fret moving up, we're going to stay on the second fret playing D and just playing those two notes, the G and the B strings. Using the fourth fret on the G, there. Basically, what I want to do here is go (demo). Broken down that's simply playing on the fourth fret, and then on the G and the B strings, second and third string respectively, I'm playing the same fingering and the same frets, except just on the G and B strings. Essentially what I'm doing here is (demo). Basically, what I'm playing, there, is the first position, A and B and just keeping a simply rhythm.
