How to mix Blues Shuffles & Licks

Hello friends,

welcome back to Swiftlessons for another lead guitar tutorial. In today's session I've broken down how to combine blues rhythm and lead techniques, and how counting aloud is the key to merging these elements. In this lesson I'll teach you three examples for beginner, intermediate and advanced players. Let's get started!

Hey Jack, just to help you a little further, I just added a more in-depth breakdown of that section to my story on Instagram. My IG name is swiftguitarlessons.

Hey Jack, thanks, great question. That's a sixteenth note triplet which is very tricky to count. Basically you want to count it "4 e & a" with the first slide from 2 to 3 being beat "4", and the slide back to 3rd fret being "e."

Rob! Hey, I enjoy all your content-- just had a quick question for ya. On the part of the lick where you slide on the G string (see: min 3:36/5:40) how come that only takes one beat? Are you playing 32nd notes there or something? I am confused by the counting of it.

Jack
