Blues Riffs Rhythm Guitar Lesson

Apart from chords what can you do when you’re playing blues rhythm guitar? Want more tricks in your blues rhythm guitar trick bag? Let me show you 2 easy blues riffs which can spice up your blues rhythm guitar and get you sounding super cool every time you play a blues.
Here’s a breakdown of what you learn in this video:

0:14 Hear me play one of the blues riffs over a 12 bar blues in the key of G.

1:07 How to play the first blues riff over a G7 chord. Complete with description and fingering guidelines. Remember that the first note in the riff (low E string note)  is the root note – this means you can move the blues riff around to make it work on other chords too. Simply start on the root of the chord you want to play on and play the riff – easy!

2:36  Here’s how you can move the riff to make it work on C7 and D7, the two other chords in a 12 bar blues in the key of G. Basically all you have to do is move it across onto the A string – simple. Play it at the 3rd fret for C7 and at the 5th fret for D7.

3:49 Here I show you a 12 bar blues in G and how to apply each of these different riffs to the progression. This follows a pretty standard version of a 12 bar blues chord sequence although there are variations which you might see.

5:56 Hear the blues riffs played over a 12 bar blues backing track in the key of G.

7:01 These riffs are a useful alternative to playing chords when you’re playing rhythm guitar. If you were playing with another guitar player or a piano player who was playing chord shapes, then playing chords might muddy up the sound too much. The leaner and lighter sound of these riffs will support the chord progression without cluttering it up .

7:40  Here is the second riff. This is similar to the first one but is a little more interesting sounding, using pull offs and blues curls. Sometimes it may be better than the more basic first riff. Like the first riff it is completely moveable – here I’ll show you how to play it over G7, C7 and D7, the 3 chords making up a 12 bar blues in G.

10:37 These 2 riffs shapes are moveable. Use the root notes on the E and A strings to figure out where to move them to use them over E7, A7, B7 etc. You’ll find they’ll work on any Dominant 7 chord if you play them ath the right place on the guitar neck. Try creating some variations of your own and experiment with making them work in other music styles too such as rock and funk.

Here’s a breakdown of what you learn in this video:

0:15 Acoustic Blues Guitar Solo – Demonstration

Here’s  the blues solo over a 12 bar blues in the key of E. You’ll probably recognise some of Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray’s favourite acoustic blues licks in there!

1:18 Open Position Blues Soloing Scales

Learn the two E minor pentatonic scale shapes we’re using in this blues solo. The first pattern is played around the open and 3rd fret area and the second pattern extends up to the 5th fret area of the fingerboard. This solo uses lots of open string blues ideas coming from these patterns.

3:07 Acoustic  Blues Lick 1 -This classic blues lick is using a fragment of an E7 chord -which makes perfect sense as we’re playing over an E7 chord here. You can hear Clapton play something similar to this on his ‘Before You Accuse Me’ solo on his ‘Unplugged’ album.
The lick uses this repeating idea several times before moving into a lick using the open string E minor pentatonic scale with some notes from an open E chord added in.

6:31 Acoustic Blues Lick 2. A cool little blues idea again in the style of Eric Clapton. This one uses an E blues scale pattern up around the 5th fret with a couple of added notes(see video for shape). Notice how this scale also ‘outlines’ the A7 chord we are playing over – this is why it sounds so good over the A7 chord.Also note the bluesy slides and blues urls used in this lick!

9:50 Acoustic Blues Lick 3. Check out this cool Stevie Ray Vaughan  lick using the second scale shape we looked at earlier and a B7 chord shape too. As in lick 1 we’re using a repeating idea played in triplets with slides – a very authentic blues sounding trick! Notice the addition of trill using the 1st fret G string (from the open E chord shape)and the bass run leading into the B7 chord shape. Picking out the notes in the B7 chord shape is a simple but effective approach which punctuates this point in the solo nicely.

13:35  Acoustic Blues Lick 4. This open string lick is typical of both Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan’s playing. It’s using several of the devices we’ve seen elsewhere in this guitar solo. The little sliding lick here around the 3rd and 5th fret is well worth investigating!

15:13 Acoustic  Blues Lick 5. Here’s a cool little blues turnaround lick in E which wraps the solo up nicely. This is a ‘classic’ turnaround idea you’ll hear lots of blues artists play. It’s making use of open strings and a descending phrase along the G string to lead us to the end.

16:24 Here are licks 3,4 and 5 joined up slowly.

16:46 Complete Solo Demonstration
Now that we’ve broken the solo up into individual blues licks, let’s put it together and listen to the whole thing one more time.

17:18 Now What? Tips For Using These Licks!

Take your favourite licks, change them, extend them, create your own variations and make sure you use them! This is a crucial part in absorbing new vocabulary into your soloing and improvising. Don’t be afraid to experiment, experiment, experiment! This is the only way we become better blues soloists. Remember to simpify the licks, slow them down – do whatever you need to in order to make them playable and useful for YOU!

In this lesson I’ll show you 7 blues starting licks you can start your blues solos with which will make people sit up and take notice.

7 Great Blues Starting Licks

Here’s a breakdown of what you learn in this video:

0:14 Hear me play a blues solo over a 12 bar blues in the key of A.

1:03 A good start to a blues solo will draw the listener in and make them want to hear the rest of what you’ve got to say. For this reason how you start your solo is pretty important if you want people to listen! Whilst it takes practice and experience to refine this skill a good starting point is to learn some of the blues starting licks which the great blues players use to start their solos.

1:24  Here you can briefly recap on two patterns for the A minor pentatonic scale – an essential scale for playing blues. Most of the blues starting licks you’re going to learn in this lesson use these scale shapes.

2:14 Blues solo starting lick 1. You’ll have heard this used by all the great blues guitarists – in fact it’s probably the most common way to start a blues solo ever, and that’s because it sounds great! It’s using the shape 1 A minor pentatonic scale to start with before sliding up into the extension or sliding scale shape we examined a moment ago.

3:20 Blues solo starting lick 2. A Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King favourite this one! It’s using the top part of the sliding A minor pentatonic pattern. Check out that bend on the 10th fret!

Pick the string, bend it up, hold it and then repick it  twice.  Also watch the vibrato on the final bend and try to get it really singing out.

Learn a cool blues guitar solo in the style of blues guitar legends Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King. Packed full of great blues licks and techniques guaranteed to boost your blues soloing power!

Here’s a breakdown of what you learn in this video:

0:35 Here’s  the blues guitar solo over a 12 bar blues in the key of G. You’ll probably recognise some of Stevie and Albert’s favourite blues licks in there.

1:30 Learn the two G minor pentatonic scale shapes we’re using in this blues solo. The first pattern is played around the 3rd fret area and the second pattern extends up into the 6th and 8th fret area of the fingerboard.

2:54 Blues Lick 1 – Starts up in the extension of the G minor pentatonic scale. This is a classic Stevie Ray Vaughan idea he used in most of his guitar solos. Look out for those monster string bends and be sure to get those blues curls in there!

5.21 Blues Lick 2. This lick is in the first scale shape at the 3rd fret. Check out that tasty little one fret bend at the 5th fret G string. A cool little device you can slip into your blues guitar solos.

6:28 Blues Lick 3. A Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King favourite and a great lick for learning to connect both the blues scale patterns we examined earlier. This short blues lick is played twice to give the third part of the blues guitar solo. Watch those position shifts, slides and big SRV style string bends here.

7:56  Blues Lick 4. This lick stays up in the extended minor pentatonic scale pattern and uses this essential bend at the top E 8th fret. Notice the repeated use of this bend in this solo. It’s one of the most commonly used and effective bends in blues guitar and always sounds great so use it in your improvisations. Remember to ‘kill’off’ the bends before you let them down. This is a super important tip for getting clean string bending technique.

9:30  Blues Lick 5. A cool little lick in the first minor pentatonic shape. Watch that little blues curl at the end – a super cool blues guitar trick!
Notice the fingers I’m using for this lick. This is how I find it easiest to play them even if the stretch is a little large.

11:51 Blues Lick 6. Another classic  Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan lick. Some big string bends in this one and a handy position shift up the high E string.  Remember to attack the notes for this style of playing! Dig in with that pick, thumb or whatever you play with. This is an important part of getting a big , full blues sound out of your guitar.

13:30 Blues Lick 7. This turnaround lick is about as Stevie Ray Vaughan as you can get – he played this lick a lot. Watch the vibrato, blues curls and the little fragment of a D7 chord which ends the lick. I use my middle finger on my picking hand to pluck the G string note – this helps the two note ring together.

16:03  That’s the solo lick by lick. Let’s check out how the whole thing sounds again.

17:00 Tips for using the licks that make up this blues guitar solo.  Take your favourite licks, change them, extend them, create your own variations and make sure you use them! This is a crucial part in absorbing new vocabulary into your soloing and improvising. Don’t be afraid to experiment, experiment, experiment! This is the only way we become better blues soloists.
