5 6 Blues Shuffle - I7 Root on the 5th String
Like the previous video, here I look at moving the 5 – 6 Blues Shuffle around on the neck.
This time however, we set up the I7 chord with it’s root note on the 5th string.
This also ties into an earlier lesson where we learned the names of the notes on the 5th string.
