Blues Rhythm Guitar lesson





Ideas for blues guitarists playing rhythm, and particularly for when 2 guitarists play rhythm at the same time.
This is an intermediate lesson that will be very useful for anyone who plays with other guitars either in a band or at a jam.
This is a very special lesson featuring John Casson, a great pro blues guitar teacher living in New Zealand.

In this lesson we look at rhythm ideas for playing a 12 bar shuffle in A.
