Learn Acoustic Blues Soloing

I liked this video for the method that he uses to show the simplicity of the basic acoustic E blues scale. The acoustic E blues scale is typically what a beginning guitarist is introduced to when learning the blues. By learning to play the basic open E blues scale, you will already have down the basics for a nice riff that you can then go in and add other "blues notes" and hammer-ons/pull-offs as he demonstrates.

Practice this simple scale and then move it up the neck by barring your index finger across any fret to discover other bluesy scales and riffs.
