5-Cool-Blues-Shuffle-Riffs-1bPlaying “walking blues lines” is a common thing for bass players, but also guitar players do not shy away from a nice walking blues shuffle riff.

The blues shuffle riff is a popular sound and often used by guitar players like T-Bone Walker (Going to Chicago, T-bone Shuffle) and Stevie Ray Vaughan (Cold shot, Pride and joy, Travis walk).

While blues rhythm guitar suffices with a standard 12 bar blues shuffle, a cool shuffle riff is often more fun to play and interesting listen to.

Also for the blues lead guitar player it’s great to solo over a blues shuffle riff. The combination of a cool lead solo improvisation and a nice blues shuffle riff will lift the music to greater heights.

Today we have 5 Cool blues shuffle riffs to get your hands dirty. Starting out with a nice & easy shuffle riff gradually leading up to more challenging riffs. A video lesson and tablature is provided for each shuffle riff.

Enjoy!

    Hi Charlie,
    There is no DVD format, The 50CoolBluesLicks is a downloadable guitar course.
    So you download and save the course to your computer.

    Best,

    Hi
    Part of his question was unanswered. Is there an expiration on the download license? Thanks

    Hi Greg,
    There was no expiration date on the download license, but I’ve changed
    the 50CoolBluesLicks downloadable course to an Online Course, so you can
    learn the 50CoolBluesLicks course from anywhere and on any device (computer, laptop, tablet and phone).

    If you have any questions just let me know.
    Best,
    Klaus Crow

    Hi Klaus…love your lessons! I’m getting into blues now. My friend heard you doing riff no 5, bar 2 section and says you perform a rake, two notes, and then the hammer on, so the tab is different to what you play. I am not sure. Can you clarify? Btw we have wagered an ice cream on this.
