        Here are some variations on an uptempo blues shuffle. I even figured out how to add chord diagrams to the video. Let me know what you think

          Super good lesson Barry. This stuff is gold, like your guitar 🙂

          Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

              Glad you liked it just looking for little things that are easy to add to your playing. They add up over time. If I can get one idea from any lesson then it was time well spent

              Nice lesson, Barry. You taught it well. Love the sound of those P90’s.
