Riff 18 for Playing Blues Guitar in A

Another standard Blues lick played in A is actually using a chord and a hammer on technique. And, what I'm going to show you here is on the fifth fret I'm going to go. And this kind of has a backwards feel to it and that's been used in many Blues songs, from yesteryears to now. So, what I'm going to be doing here is picking these two notes, which is part of the A chord on the fifth fret B and E. And, I'm playing E and A notes. And I'm going, and I'm going to start with the up stroke. So, I'm going to go, and I'm going to do G on the seventh fret and then come back around to the fifth fret and hammer onto the sixth and end on the, where I started on the A chord. So, slowly that's. And up to a little faster tempo. And you have a nice little standard Blues lick there.
