Funky Blues Shuffle On My Strat

Here’s a funky little blues guitar shuffle in E I put together earlier today…this is my Stratocaster played through an older Fender “The Twin” amp with a Blue Daddy Goudie FX box boosting the gain and tone notch.

I played this with my fingers so I could gets some simultaneous base line walking with fills as I went…sounds pretty good for no backing.

This entire song is played in the open E position with a walking base line in E that looks like E-G-B-C-E played with my thumb while my bottom second and third finger played the higher E and B strings of the E-cord – same position but moved to A and then finishing in the V position of the I-IV-V blues progression on B back down to A and back to E.

The fills are various E blues scale fills including some open string type stuff that you may find Freddie King cooking up on Hideway and such.

What do you think?
