Love in Vain Blues

[Triple-o]

Hal Leonard’s Blues Guitar p.9

Three things I did with this exercises just to play around.

1. Replaced the C with C7 

2. Changed the first measure to 3 beamed 8th notes and 1 quarter note.Then I hybrid picked a shuffle on frets 5,4,3, and ended with E and A So, I played G F# F E and pedaled the high A on fret 5 with those notes.

3. Replaced the open G chord in the second measure with E7  like in Sweet Home Chicago. Three finger 

You can also fine this song in “The Real Blues Book”. The intro there must start  at the 12 th fret. In addition you will see other chords that you could use in this slow shuffle like G/D and Gdim7 etc.

You might also look at The Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton intros.
