Here are 3 examples of common Blues Rhythms. I go through them with the chords – E, A, B. Try adding these rhythms into a 12 Bar Form. With any chords on the 6th or 5th string you can use the “B” example as a template.

The rhythm is:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

With swung 8th notes. These are great ways to get a grasp of the rhythm behind countless of blues songs! Thank you.
