Elixir Strings artist Mandy Rowden gives a simple-to-follow introduction to this essential blues style in this short acoustic guitar video lesson. The lesson is based on a straightforward 12-bar blues progression, making it easy for even beginners to understand. But while the idea might be uncomplicated, nailing the feel will take some time, so take it slow and get that shuffle happening! Mandy plays Elixir Strings for their polished sound, smooth playability and long-lasting tone. Check them out: https://www.elixirstrings.com/products
The blues shuffle is a classic rhythm guitar feel and one that all guitar players should be familiar with. The swinging groove of the shuffle crops up in the music of everyone from Robert Johnson and Jimi Hendrix to Stevie Ray Vaughan - anyone who's ever played blues guitar in fact!
