Have a Jam Session with Yourself in this Solo Blues Shuffle Composition – EP243

Description

In this week’s guitar lesson, you’ll have a jam session with yourself by playing both the “call” and “response” parts of this acoustic blues shuffle composition. This isn’t your typical 1, 4, 5 chord progression. You’ll learn how to alternate between the 1 and the 5 chord, which is relatively easy to do and sounds great.

  1. Hi Brian,
    It’s so neat to see another acoustic composition. Some of us just naturally gravitate to these ones. This one seems a little challenging so I’m looking forward to learning it this weekend.
    Best,
    Dan

  6. Just starting lesson 243. I’ll take a look at your lessons and have a think about the premium membership. I like your teaching style. I’ve been playing for thirty plus years and now I want to ramp up my proficiency.
    Thanks for the free lessons.
    Just curious as to what model Martin guitar you’re playing in lesson 243?
    Looking forward to the advance lessons, ten dollars a month seems more than fair. Thanks again, Paul 🙂

  8. This is a cracker Brian…. Lots of interesting licks and fills to learn.
    Just one problem… I’m practicing previous lessons so much that my finger tips get really sore, and I’ve been playing for 50 years!

  9. Another great lesson Brian. I am away from home for a month with no guitar😕 But still feel the need to go to your lessons every day!! Will have a lot of catching up to do when I get home!! If you feel like taking a break, you have my permission. Lol 😀

  18. Brian, that B7 chord, how does it come about, i.e. it sounds right transitioning from the 1 chord to the 5 chord, is it due to it being 5 chord of the E (blues) scale that makes it work? (Given that B is the second note of the A major scale and that chord would be minor.)

  21. Brian, I look forward to seeing the videos each week. This has helped me greatly in getting recommitted to playing. I had stopped playing for many years. I especially love the blues shuffle material like this one. Thanks again.

    Best,

    Dave M

  24. Hey Brian, I like this lesson more and more as I work with it. The trickiest thing for me is the timing in a few spots but I’already close playing it slow. Anyone aware of any songs with this progression?

  27. Excellent Lesson Brian. Love the solo jam lessons. Been subscribed to your YouTube channel for awhile. Just bought a year’s subscription last night and love it. I am traveling for work and have my Ovation and just started work on this lesson last night. You really make it easy to learn and add a very nice twist on the normal blues progressions. Keep up the fantastic work. -Rich.
