This is the second lesson in our five-part blues riff series, inspired by Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters. Designed specifically for beginners, this lesson focuses on using a power chord and shuffle rhythm to lock in that signature chugging groove that makes electric blues feel alive.

Hi Gary, I’ve tested the link in the post above in a couple different browsers, and it is working. Perhaps try clearing your browser history and cookies and see if that helps?
Regarding the video – I’m sorry it’s not clear, the part we’re adding today is the A power chord. At 1:44 Colin explains the fingering for that – first finger on 2nd fret, 4th string, and we’re playing the open 5th string and the 4th string.
Removing the cookies work fine. Now that you explained the fingering, I understand. I didn’t realize you were going so slowly, and I thought I was missing something. So it was there, I was trying to make it complicated.
