the C to E change is where all the fun occurs.

You have have a choice

1) Echord hammering on the the third string - like Broonzy type blues
2) sliding four string long A shape up to the 9th fret
3) walking the two C notes on the fifth and second string up four frets til they make E

use all three for variety.
