C7 Blues Comp

C7 Blues Comp

Here’s a great little Blues riff based on the C7 chord shape that can be moved all over the neck to allow playing the Blues in any key.
First we’ll learn the Blues in C and then move it around a bit to demonstrate playing in different keys.
It’s important to be able to name the notes on the 5th string since this is where the root note for the chord is.
There’s also some Travis picking which can be a bit of a challenge. But that’s what makes the riff sound cool.

For Blues in C, the I chord is C7 which has the root note, C, on the fifth string in the third fret.
The IV chord is F, which has the root note, F, on the fifth string in the eighth fret.
The V chord is G, which has the root not in the tenth fret.
