Course Objective
In this lesson, we'll discuss how blues rhythms are commonly played in the key of A and E on the guitar because there are lots of commonly used open notes that make these keys easy to play in. We'll be enhancing our 12 bar blues rhythm by introducing some new notes to it (building on the previous two lessons).
As always, this lesson comes with both MP3 jam tracks and Tablature so be sure to download them to practice with!
