Hi man! You had very good ide some time ago, to make baking track "extended"! Is it possible you will do it again for your lessons? This is nice to play bluse a bit longer, than only one phrase!
- Gabriel Leopardi25th June 2007
Hey kiciolud!! I promise you to continue doing extended backings. And to solve the problem now, you have the extended backing of the other blues lessons.

Hi GMC! Today we’ll talk about Blues rhythm. The rhythm is one of the most important things in blues. We need a strong felt rhythm if we want to have a good blues. You should feel it when you are playing a rhythmic part as well as when you are soloing.
The shuffle is the most common rhythm in blues. It uses the first and the last note of a eighth note triplet to create the blues feeling. Accentuating the first note of each triplet is the most common way to play it and make it sound natural.
I prepared this lesson to get into this feeling. I tried to create an amazing blues in A where we could combine blues rhythmical stuff and some scale licks.
This is a dominant blues. It means that the basic blues chord progression is using dominant chords (I7 – IV7 – V7). I used dominant arpeggios and Am pentatonic to compose the guitar parts.
Get fun!
