This 12 Bar Blues rhythm guitar lesson will provide a step-by-step approach to learn how to play a 12 bar Blues rhythm progression in ’E’ Blues. How to Play Blues Shuffle Rhythm on Guitar This 12 Bar Blues Shuffle rhythm guitar lesson for beginners starts with a four-beat ‘E’ Blues shuffle rhythm, with the third finger ‘tapping’ the fourth fret every third beat. The last four beats of Bar 1 feature a three-note riff played on the last three beats in place of the ’E’ Blues shuffle. For Bar 2, the last four beats feature a two-note riff played on the middle beats in place of the E Blues shuffle. Add vibrato to the last note played in Bars 2 & 4 of the twelve bar Blues shuffle progression. For Bars 5-6 of this 12-bar Blues progression, the same ’E’ Blues shuffle in Bars 1-2 shifts up one string to play the ‘A’ Blues shuffle rhythm. For Bars 7-8, shift back to the initial ‘E’ shuffle rhythm. Before moving on to Bar 9, practice combining Bars 1-8 of this 12-bar Blues rhythm progression. Bar 9 of this 12-Bar Blues progression for beginners features a ‘B5’ power chord using the same ‘Walk in the Park’ rhythm (‘down-up... down-up-up-down’) used in both Texas-style rhythm patterns from the previous Blues Rhythm lessons at Paluzzi Guitar. Note how the ‘B5’ chord provides more of a ‘Rock-style’ sound when compared to the ‘B7’ chords used in the previous 12-bar Blues rhythm progressions. For Bar 10, the chord shift from ‘B5’ to ‘A5’ requires only a slight adjustment of flattening the first finger along the second fret. For Bar 11, return to the initial ‘E’ Blues shuffle rhythm. E Blues Shuffle Turnaround The ‘B5’ chord is used for the turnaround in this 12-bar blues rhythm progression, using all down-strokes to change the tempo (‘1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3’) as a way to ‘lead-in’ or ‘rev-up’ into Verse 2. Beginners should practice combining Bars 11-12, then combine Bars 9-12 together before attempting to play all twelve bars of this ’E’ Blues shuffle progression together. How to Play 12 Bar Blues Shuffle Progression in E At the end of Verse 2, the Ending section is played at Bar 12 in place of the turnaround. The x’s represent either a palm-mute or a rest in between strummed chords. Before attempting to play the complete two-verse progression, practice combining Bars 11-12 of Verse 2. Texas Blues Rhythm Guitar Lesson for Beginners The ‘Texas Blues Rhythm’, the ‘Alternate Texas Rhythm’, (previous lessons) and the ‘E Blues Shuffle’ progressions are all in the Key of ‘E’ Blues. To add variation to an ‘E’ Blues rhythm, all three progression can be played together in succession within the same arrangement. Paluzzi Guitar The objective of the Paluzzi Guitar video series is to help establish a foundation of guitar fundamentals by applying various playing techniques (rhythm, fingerstyle, and soloing) to various styles of music. The more playing styles and techniques a guitarist can learn, the more diverse and self-sufficient a guitarist will become. A self-sufficient guitarist can then teach themselves, communicate with other musicians, and even write their own music once a solid foundation of fundamentals is established. The Creative Guitarist Method Series was written and designed by Kevin J. Paluzzi of Paluzzi Guitar Instruction in San Diego, CA. For more information on private lessons and books, go to: San Diego Guitar Lesons There really isn’t any one particular playing style or technique required in order to classify someone as a guitarist. For example, Andres Segovia, the Beatles, and Carlos Santana are all considered legendary performing guitarists, but each has his own particular style or technique (fingerstyle, strumming, and soloing) for playing. This Paluzzi Guitar series of books and videos are designed with a ‘pick and choose’ topic format (songwriting, soloing, etc.) so that once the Guitar Basics are completed, the guitarist can decide to focus on whatever topic they wish to study.
