Person playing a guitar, focusing on finger placement on the fretboard.

Justin is giving guitar lessons in the 12 Bar Blue Styles

*In the lesson Justin is going to teaching 12 bar blue styles with a chunker chunker rhythm. Chunker chunker is just a word taught by Justin's teacher for the strumming action.

*He is going to go very slow and then pick up the pace so that we can all learn.

*Justin starts from the open 'A' string and then the 4th 'E' string.

*You are going to go first finger on a string and then the pick's , the 3rd finger is on the same as 1st finger which makes it the first bar .

*Second round we move the 1st and then the 3rd finger one row down and start playing the sheep music pattern.

*Remember to always move the 1st finger and then the rest.

*Thirdly we start moving the 1st finger to the top row and so on .we always keep shifting between the down row and the up row and playing, keeping one of the row as a main row the 'A' string

*Always make sure to finish the note with 'A'.

*Also it is very important to make sure that you hold the open and close string correctly.
