    Video Transcript

    "In this variation on blues riffs in E, this one's going to involve pretty much mostly picking so what I'm going to do here is like to show you is I'm going to play my E cord. There. And what I'm going to do, I'm going to play it slowly first and I'm going to go. Basically what I'm doing there is basically staying in the same series of notes and I'm playing starting with E twice, so, and then I'm playing third fret, fourth fret on the low E string which is G and G sharp and then coming to B and I'm going to play that like three times. Basically what I'm doing there is just playing twice on the E cord and then playing the lick or the in between notes and essentially playing that in between the cords so I'm going. And that is another variation of an E blues rhythm."
