Hello, my friends! Today I'm excited to show you a sample lesson from my new Blues Starter Kit course. In this video, I'll introduce you to two-string shuffle riffs, walking you through the basic concepts and building things up from there. This only requires a couple fingers to play, making it quite accessible to get going with – and it's simply a blast to play! Combined with a shuffle rhythm, it really evokes that bluesy sound that's so easy to love.
