Broken Chords in G

Here are some examples demonstrating broken chord Blues patterns in the key of G.

Notice the use of grace notes in the second bar here.

Playing the grace notes on the D chord requires the two finger technique. The 2nd finger plays the F note and the 3rd finger plays the F#.

Here is an exercise to help you develop more control over this technique.

Now try applying these broken chords to the 12 Bar Blues progression.
