Rhythm Guitar in Open E - 12 Bar Blues
This is just an easy lesson on playing some bluesy rhythm guitar in the open position. Its really just a jumping-off point for our next series of lessons on playing in the open position but since most of that will be about soloing I thought we'd get started with a little rhythm.

Really useful vid thanks Mark. I'm not very strong with my pinkie though so I find myself having to slide up to hit the D.

Hi Mark,
Like this post a lot. I'm a big fan of the 12 bar blues and blues guitar style in general and try to encourage everyone that visits my site to at least get the basics down

Richie Havens played in open E...and he was about the best rhythm guitarist I ever saw.
