Good to be back for another Muse on Muse lesson, In this lesson I would like to show you a few ways to play a blues shuffle rhythm in the Key of E, I\u2019m just finishing my first Blues CD \u201cDeja Blues\u201d so this is a good time to talk about the blues.<\/p>\n<p><!--more Read More--><\/p>\n<p>The Blues is the foundation of most rock music and has influenced the best guitarist in the world. I\u2019m tuned to standard A-440 tuning, not down a half step like I usually am. It\u2019s very important to be a good rhythm guitarist, you end up playing a lot more rhythm than lead guitar, and if you play good rhythm you will get more gigs. It\u2019s fun to trade off playing lead and rhythm guitar with a friend. But it\u2019s not fun when the other player does not keep a steady beat. Be a good rhythm player.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PoIq299CRKA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Example #1 Is a very basic E blues shuffle but you have to make sure you mute the strings and keep a steady beat by tapping your foot. It helps to build your internal metronome or groove. Many guitar players I see do not tap there feet when they play, it\u2019s a good habit to get into. Try playing this rhythm until you can play it for 3 to 5 minutes with any mistakes. And then record your self and see if you can play a lead solo over the track you recorded. Only play the 2 strings for each chord, if you hit too many other strings it will get messy. Good luck and have fun.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/68dXzTBoTbo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Example #2 Is a variation on #1 with a note added to give it more movement. Remember to try to play it back by the bridge pickup open with the strings ringing, it\u2019s a very Texas blues sound ala SRV.\u00a0 And then try to mute it to hear the difference.\u00a0 The stretch on the B chord might be hard so try the other way I show it. But keep trying to make the wide stretch it\u2019s a good goal to set for your self.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KvcBUl6gd6o\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Example #3 Is another variation on #1 with a minor third major third movement in the bass note added to give it more movement. This has a very Texas sound like a train coming down the tracks. Remember to try to play it back by the bridge pickup open with the strings ringing.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iZvnJvfHwVI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Example #4 Is a blues scale in the key of E using the open strings at the first position. This will go well with the rhythm tracks in this lesson. Notice how the top 2 strings the E and B play the 3rd fret and the other strings go to the 2nd fret and the low E string is back to the 3rd fret. Try going from a rhythm groove and then play a quick lead pattern using this scale.<br \/>\nGood luck with your blues groove.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dyxIoHXK0rI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>See you next time my Japanese friends or Muse on Muse.\u00a0<br \/>\nPeace,<br \/>\n<strong>Gary Hoey<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.garyhoey.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.garyhoey.com\/<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/garyhoeyband\" target=\"_blank\">www.twitter.com\/garyhoeyband<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/garyhoeyofficialpage\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/garyhoeyofficialpage<br \/>\n<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone I hope you are doing well.
