Plug In, Tune up and Rock Out!
Hi friends,
Unfortunately i have no new silver to show off today, sob, but i do have something for the guitar players out there. For some it will be old hat, but perhaps a few of you will find it useful, and indeed, very, very fun.
Simply put, the following diagrams are the five main positions for playing the blues in the Key of E.
Note: the whole entire pattern taken together can be “slid” up and down the neck (fretboard) to accomodate any Key. So for example, play everything 3 frets up for G, 5 frets up for A, or 2 frets back for D. It repeats itself after the 12th fret, so just imagine that the whole pattern sits between two identical 12 fret patterns, and the whole damn thing slides up and down showing you where the notes of the Blues scale are.
Check it out: (numbers correspond to fingers)
Grab a pick and start whaling!
Any questions about this please ask below. But if yer picking up what i’m laying down, then grab your axe and start playing these boxes — any note will sound good over a blues Progression in the Key of E. which is easily played out over 12 bars like this:
EEEEAAEEBAEB
Just play the above chords in equal measure and then pick out some notes to play overtop from above diagrams. It’s instant killer shit!

I think you should do a ssg guitar tutorial. I've had my guitar for 15yrs and never played anything on it. Help me!!
Alright welshie, i’ll put sumpin’ together for yaz 😜👍⚡️🎸🍆
Dont have a guitar to try it. Id ratger bang the skins.👍
Yo D, do you have any recordings from back in the day?
I’ve been trying for years to find this girl Valorie that video taped all our gigs. She was our groupie, one of the guys in the band found her on Facebook last year and they talked. She still has them she said but once he asked for copies she blocked him. So I don’t think I’ll ever get them. It’s be real cool to see that again, it’s was one of the monster on the shoulder vhs recorders with the mic on top. High end for back then.
🤘😎 that’s rock n roll for ya!
I was told that the older and or better guitars have silver alloy frets, the newer ones don't.
Silver frets and ivory Bridge&Nuts 😁👍
I was once a guiltar player before but i gave up on it because it seems hard always for me to understand the keys
The Keys inform you of which chords and notes to play — which ones sound good together. It is simple — but not easy!
Forget bout keys and just trust your ears, eventually you'll get so used to your guitar with enough practice you'll know where the right sounding note is.
