"So we, we already saw the most typical and common rhythmic interpretation of the twelve bar blues form. Remember this was the open A, on the second fret here. Now you're not going to hear every blues that's going to have just this riff going on the whole time because it would be kind of boring. You can move this riff for one thing, for keys. So if we're in the key of B flat you can create a movable riff here. So our first finger is playing E flat on the low E string. Our third finger plays F on the A string, a fifth apart from each other. We use the palm mute still and just strum low E and A. Then we use our fourth finger to stretch up from the F to the , G ? Yes, from the F to the G. Now we can, if we want to, stretch up to that A flat but that can be difficult unless you have the hands for it. So you are also allow to just go one, two one, two one and two and one and two. Your four will be right below. Your five will be one string below each and two frets, move that two frets down from the four. Now you can also use your seventh chords here. D flat seven. E flat seven. B flat. You can use movables, add seven. E set flat seven. So use your seventh chords and try to figure out your own pattern for the blues."
