Inspired by Eric Clapton’s Before You Accuse Me from his Unplugged album, this free guitar lesson explores how to turn a traditional 12-bar blues in E into a complete fingerstyle arrangement.

The 2½-minute piece combines chords, bass lines, fills and lead ideas, showing how simple blues techniques can be developed into a varied and musical performance.

In this lesson, you’ll explore:

• Developing a traditional 12-bar blues with a strong shuffle feel.
• Combining chords, walking bass lines and lead fills.
• Using different chord voicings, triads and turnarounds.
• Maintaining a steady groove as the arrangement develops.
• Building ideas you can use in your own blues playing.
