In today's Acoustic Guitar Tutorial we're looking at how to play Eddie Cochrans SUMMERTIME BLUES.. Released in 1958 this rock n roll - infused song consists of only 3 chords in the key of E - E A & B7. It's a simple upbeat tune with a repetitive song structure that's easily memorable.

In this lesson I introduce muted strums in order to build the rhythm and contribute to the drive of the song. I have shown how to play the song without the mutes which is perfectly fine. If you'd like to add in the percussive elements of the mutes I have added these in step by step and included rhythm charts to help with the visual learning.

🎧 Listen to the full song playthrough-   • SUMMERTIME BLUES  by Eddie Cochran  ACOUST...  

The second half of the Verses contains the classic blues riff used in thousands of songs. This is on the A chord section. This is a great riff to master and endlessly effective and useful as a guitarist. I have included tab in this section. If you are unable to play this just play the A chord for this section.

Enjoy learning this summer-inspired Rock n Roll tune. It's a guitar classic.

I have played a variety of guitar styles since I was inspired by Nirvana and GnR in the 90s. I have been involved in countless bands and projects over the years and have been teaching guitar since 2002 and full time since 2012. I work with and have worked with a vast range of learners face to face and online. Online is an excellent and very effective way to learn guitar if you have the right teacher.
