It should be a blues in E not a blues in A. The intro is a blues intro in E, but for some reason the chords shown reflect an A chord progression. Replace all A chords with E chords, replace all D chords with A chords, and all the E chords with B chords. Mostly came for the intro lick, so at least that part was correct.

Def blues in E not A

I agree!
