I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Rick is possibly the best RUclips guitar instructor on the planet. Simple, practical, sensible lessons every time.
Another (easy) way to play the classic boogie rhythm with the flat 7th at 1:06, is to barre your index finger across fret 3, place either your middle or ring finger on the A string fret 5, play only the two thickest strings, play the G6th by fretting the A string fret 7 with your little finger, and then... lift that finger off and strum the _three_ thickest strings to play the G7. It's easier to play than it is to describe. G: 35xxxx 37xxxx (G6) 353xxx (G7) C: x35xxx x37xxx (C6) x353xx (C7) D: x57xxx x59xxx (D6) x575xx (D7)
Using the first 2 fingers for the boogie doesn't work for my fingers, but the 3rd finger & pinkie is silk for me even for the stretch. That's just 'me' for the last 53 years, but whatever is easier for you & others is fine. Just remember there are different hand types, so I wouldn't be so quick to call it as a "mistake.". I really appreciate your video.
