How to Play Blues Riffs Guitar Lesson for Beginners
A blues riff can be described as a sort of ‘musical sentence’, and in order to solo and improvise the Blues, a musical vocabulary needs to be developed by copying and memorizing a collection of standard Blues riffs. There are many Blues riffs that have been passed on from generation to generation of guitarists, and some of these blues riffs will be presented in this Blues guitar lesson for beginners.

Easy Blues Guitar Riff in Open E
This Blues guitar lessons video is for beginners to learn how to solo and play easy blues riffs in E along the open fretboard position.

Open E Blues Riffs on Guitar
The standard Pentatonic Minor Blues box pattern in ‘E’ is located along the open or ‘zero' fret position on the guitar. What is unique about playing ‘E’ Blues riffs along the open position is that the open strings do not need to be fretted, which ‘frees-up’ various combinations of the stronger first, second, and third fingers to fret with. This blues guitar lesson will show how to play the ‘E’ Blues box pattern as well as introducing some standard easy Blues riffs for beginners played along the open fret position.

How to Bend, Hammer, Pull off Blues Riffs on Guitar
Becoming familiar with playing easy blues riffs in 'E' is essential as many Blues riffs and songs are in the Key of ‘E’ Blues. For both ‘The E Blues Riff’ and ‘The Bend & Release Riff’ in ‘E’, the first and second fingers are used together to apply bending and vibrato technique. For the E Blues ‘Hammer/Pull-Off Riff’, only the first finger needs to be used.

Note how each Blues riff in 'E' has a root note focus by ending on an ‘E’ root note. All of the open ‘E’ Blues riffs can be played along with the audio rhythm tracks in the Key of ‘E’ Blues.

Paluzzi Guitar
The objective of the Paluzzi Guitar video series is to help establish a foundation of guitar fundamentals by applying various playing techniques (rhythm, fingerstyle, and soloing) to various styles of music. The more playing styles and techniques a guitarist can learn, the more diverse and self-sufficient a guitarist will become. A self-sufficient guitarist can then teach themselves, communicate with other musicians, and even write their own music once a solid foundation of fundamentals is established.

The Creative Guitarist Method Series was written and designed by Kevin J. Paluzzi of Paluzzi Guitar Instruction in San Diego, CA. For more information on private lessons and books, go to:

There really isn’t any one particular playing style or technique required in order to classify someone as a guitarist. For example, Andres Segovia, the Beatles, and Carlos Santana are all considered legendary performing guitarists, but each has his own particular style or technique (fingerstyle, strumming, and soloing) for playing. Every guitarist will have their own personal preferences when it comes to what style of music they would initially like to learn. Some may have a more-specific goal (singer/songwriter, soloist, etc.), while others may prefer a more general or overall approach to learning various playing styles and techniques. This series of books and videos from Paluzzi Guitar are designed with a ‘pick and choose’ topic format (songwriting, soloing, etc.) so that once the Guitar Basics are completed, the guitarist can decide to focus on whatever topic they wish to study.
