Learning blues riffs on guitar will help you learn the fretboard, gain greater dexterity in your fingers, and solo better. While you can’t apply the same riff over and over to the same song, you can use riffs to help you learn how to solo on the guitar.
In this blues guitar lesson, I will show you one blues lick that is incredibly useful because after you learn it, you will be able to play the 12 bar blues in ANY key. That’s right — you can use this riff in any blues.
Beginner guitar players and experienced veterans alike will gain valuable insight into the blues and the guitar as a whole.
Using this blues riff as a springboard, you can launch your guitar improvisation practice. Even if you weren’t sure you could solo, using this blues riff will give you the confidence to keep improvising on the guitar; just remember for a 12 bar blues, your pentatonic scales are your friends!

Great video
Without further ado, let’s get started. But first……..
Thank you very much for this valuable 12 bar blues lesson ! this blues riff will be extremely useful to me as i want to play some blues riffs for my 12 bar blues 60's rock n roll song called "Roll Over Beethoven" by the beatles ! lol 🙂
First time playing a guitar and it was somewhat easy. Thanks! I want to learn the delta blues someday!
That was fun, thank you!
Thanks a lot sir ! I loved the lesson.
I love the way you teach it, brother. I'm from a certain age, from Alabama, and I sat at the feet of some old black men, and listened, listened. They weren't singing Blues, just their experience. They were down to earth and otherworldly, at the same time, somehow.
An alle deutschen hier: Das hört sich für mich viel zu sehr nach der Titelmusik von "Löwenzahn" an xD
first time ive watched this guy loved it really great teacher
We are playing the Root, octave, flat seventh, and fifth. Right?

Tony is a great great teacher
I went to a Blues Club for the first time about 3 weeks ago. and i cant get the Blues out of my head…..so my my musician friend is in town and he sent me this video clip yesterday… just wonderful. !!!
we were trying to figure it out the same exact way the band played it — and the brother in this video. got it just right for Someóne Like me who has never played the guitar before…today In playing the Blues Baby !!! 😎
I would be more motivated to follow if you start with a real jam to see how it is in real time and then breaking it up into pieces later.
Thank you for everything. Great lesson.
You were so right. A flood light just lit up! Thank you so much!
