Alright, now I'm going to take you through the E blues chord progression, or the 12, bar blues, or 12 bar blues in E. So let me first show you the strum pattern that we're going to use. Just on an E seven, we're going to go down, down, down, down. So that's one and two, and three, and four. Might want to pause the video and give that a try a few times. Once you're comfortable with that, then what we're going to do is add a little bit of what's called syncopation to it because usually when you're playing the blues, it's it's more like something like that, just that blues feel. So we can use that same strum pattern but just think a little more with syncopated rhythm, something like one and two, and three, and four, and one, and two, and three and four.

Okay, so let's play through the 12 bar blues. I'll play through it twice and do the best you can to follow along. If you're struggling, then go back to practicing the different chord transitions, ie seven to a seven, e seven to B seven, etc. and then come back and see if you can play along with me. Here we go. So I'll start one, and two, and three, and four and 123 and four Back to the top end on IE seven, just like that.

All right, good job. So let me just explain something here. This can be played in any key by using the one, four, and five chords in that key. We'll also talk a little more about the number system, sometimes referred to as the Nashville number system in the bonus lesson. Also, for learning the blues and other keys, you can definitely type in Google how to play the a blues for example, and you'll start to learn the chords associated with other blues keys. For example, in the key of A or the a blues key, you'll have a as the one chord D would be the four and he would be the five etc.

Alright, let's head on to lesson six. We will learn another way to play through the E blues chord progression.
