How to Play Trilling Box Patterns on the Blues Guitar

Hi! My name is John Armstrong from ExpertVillage.com. Today I will be discussing with you the ins and outs of electric Blues Guitar. Now in this next blues box pattern of G, I am going to add a trilling effect, trill is a series of hammer ons and pull offs and I am going to add that what I am doing is I am trilling between the major and minor third, in the key of G, also I am going to add a chromatic walk up, this connects my one to my four chords, it starts on the root and just chromatically walks up four notes, before going into my four chord pattern I also add that extended turnaround to the end, so here we go from the beginning, two, three, four.
