Strumming Blues chords with the thumb is something that I find myself doing quite a lot. One of the reasons why I like to strum the strings of the guitar with the thumb is because of the unique tone and vibe you can achieve.

In this lesson, I am going to show you how to play a shuffle Blues in 12/8, entirely played with the right-hand thumb.

We will start by learning the simple melody, and then I am going to show you how to apply the strumming technique to add rhythm and groove to the Blues.

Enjoy this lesson.
