        From the recent series on different CAGED shapes for blues. This is the C Shape, lesson ML129.
        Brian put together a very tasty 12 bar blues, really opening up the fretboard for me – it’s in E, but a new position to play from.

        Has a nice old school blues feeling:

          Great to hear you on the Showcase Forum Bruce. I missed your cool hat and fine blues playing. Your Tele is giving off a great vibe too. Loved it. All the best! 😎🎸😎
