I wrote a new blues solo for the ‘shuffle backing‘ track in E major that is already available on my channel. In these bizarre times of the coronavirus pandemic, I hope you are all alright and can find strength in music. Let us all pull through these difficult times together. All the best, Maarten.
In this blues guitar lesson , I demonstrate a cool technique that can make your blues licks more interesting.
In the image below, you can see a preview of this blues technique. The first staff shows a basic blues lick (in E) without the micro pull-off, while the second staff shows the technique added.
What do you think? I am very fond of this small concept, as it helps to make blues licks more interesting. You can practice this technique on a blues backing track in E here.
Enjoy!

Today, I posted a series of 4 videos, all about how to play E7, the dominant E seventh chord.
The inspiration for this workshop arose after a student asked me about the E7 chord and how to play it on the guitar.
The videos have an ascending difficulty from the basic level (video 1, how to play E7) to intermediate (video 2, my favorite voicings) to advanced (video 3: funk comping on one chord). The 4th video is the backing track for video 3. PDF’s below the video.
Practice these voicings on the E7 funk backing track in the video or this E shuffle blues backing track in E:
You can download this one chord jam track (E7) (in WAV format ) FREE from my sellfy webshop here.
