zoom10th December 2011I love blues rhythm. Great Sinsa. Somtimes I get bored with blues over soloing but a great groove with a couple of tweaks pure magic!
Keilnoth14th December 2011Hi Sinisa, it is a nice lesson you did here. I try to play it but is it me or sometime the tab do not match what you play ? :-)
- Sinisa Cekic15th December 2011
I think that tabs fit ,in which part you have a problem mate ?
- Keilnoth15th December 2011
Hi Sinisa, well, I think it is more that you added a few notes here and there. E.g. in part 4 when you play G6/A you then play a few notes that are not on the tab. At first it's disturbing but then I added mine and it sounds cool.
- Sinisa Cekic15th December 2011
Ah so, this is just a separation of the same chord G6. I tend sometime to add some tone, just to break the monotony. But I'm glad if you sorted it out! Feel free to contact me via PM if you have any further questions, will be pleasure to help you!
JPBluestring20th December 2011Very catchy! Some classic riffs with a new twist that is really bluesy. I love it. This is refreshing. Thanks for this great lesson.

Hey GMC!
Welcome to my blues rhythm guitar lesson.
There are several types of blues guitar rhythm styles to play around with when you start experimenting with the blues. Some of them will be more characteristic of what you already know to be the blues, and in others, you will hear similarities with other genres. Here are you basic blues rhythm styles: shuffle,straight-four,12/8,Two-beat...
For a basic 12 bar Blues, you need at least three different chords, for example in the key of A these are A(7)-D7-E7. You'll also find the expression I, IV and V or tonic, subdominant and dominant for these chords. In most dominant major Blues (there's also a minor Blues), chords are all played as seventh (7th) chords, sometimes except for the tonic. That's the reason why it's written A(7). This is a bit hard for those who have a theory music background, because it can't be explained that way - playing major seventh chords over minor pentatonic scales (see later) in theory shouldn't work, but it sounds great. So don't think too much about it - just play...
