Description

One of the most common bluesy riffs you’ll run into time and again is a two-string shuffle, usually played on the thickest couple strings of any given chord. In this lesson I’ll get you started with some common shuffle riffs in open position, focusing on the Key of A Major — which is the easiest key to play when getting started with this.
