I wrote "Blues Cakewalk" arround an arpeggio pattern. I only take a few liberties with the basic twelve bar harmony. You may use all
five fingers (including the pinky) to pull the E7 chords in measures 4 and 7, but if you are uncomfortable with that technique, you
may leave out the "D" on the fourth string. Try rolling a few of the chords on the repeat and shifting the right hand's position if you
would like a little variety.
