In this lesson, we'll use Power chords to fret 12-bar blues. The tablature file and Jam Track .mp3 file (excluding the rhythm track) are included in this lesson. A full band Mp3 file with all tracks is also included. Multiple tempos are available.


To get the palm muted effect, rest the right side of the right hand on the strings as close to the bridge as possible. The sound should be audible but muffled. You may need adjust your hand position. If the hand is too close to the sound hole, the sound will die out completely. The palm muted effect sounds especially good on an electric guitar with some distortion, but also sounds good on an acoustic guitar.
