Today's lesson is 12 Bar Blues - Rhythm + Lead Guitar Lesson with a TAB. We cover several ways to strum the boogie-woogie bass pattern, as well as how to locate the I IV and V chords when starting on both the 6th string and the 5th string. We also cover two choruses of all of the lead riffs played in the intro. The blues is a must know for any guitarist and studying both lead and rhythm is always a great idea.
