How To Play A Simple Blues Riff In E

A "quick'n dirty" video, recorded simply straight to camera. What it says on the label. A short instructional video which demonstrates, with moving chord diagrams and slow/normal motion live footage, a basic blues chord progression based on simple chords. In the key of E. I haven't shown right (picking) hand fingering but, generally speaking, the thumb picks the bass notes and the 1st & 2nd (and sometimes 3rd) fingers pick the upper strings.
