"Now we've played our first two measures of second section of our blues, so we went our four chord then we go back to our one chord for two measures. You notice we go back to original motifing in this sharp four to five. Notice now we have this squiggly line here and that's called a trill which means you take the degree that you're playing and you play between that and the note above in the scale. So if we have five here we're going to play between five and six really quick with our fingers and it sounds like this: Something I'm sure you've heard a million times over, now we're going to go play the beginning of the second half into that trill. Really good thing to practice and it can go between all of your fingers, it's good for your finger dexterity and some fingers are going to be faster than the others. I'm pretty proficient, but it takes time to get up there so go through and get your trills down and you'll be able to play through measures seven and eight of according love of blues."
