The bottom 2 strings, B and E strings, ring open, while you move this shape along the fretboard to create great sounding chord voicings. Try and see what cool progressions you can come up with! Post yours on youtube and let me know.

www.dolphinstreet.com a short, fast lick played in the key of E. This lick uses the E Blues scale. Practice this lick slow and only increase the speed when you have the technique under control. Those pull-offs and hammer-ons are the secret to playing it smoothly. Check out my website for more lesson. I used a Suhr guitar and a Line 6 Spider Valve mkii on the Insane channel, with the drive dimed. A bit of the amp’s digital delay was added. The amp was played at very low volume. Cool amp.
