Shuffle Blues Guitar Lesson

The shuffle rhythm or feel is an incredibly important part of blues and blues influenced music, and as such it is an incredibly important sound for you as a guitarist to hear and play. Some people seem to instinctively understand this feel, and others struggle to understand what it even is. For those in the latter category, this lesson is going to be a great foundation for adding this sound into your playing!

We’re going to be diving into a couple great tunes, like “Come Together” by The Beatles or “La Grange” by ZZ Top, to give real world comparisons between similar notes played with either a straight or a shuffle feel. Understanding and hearing the difference is key! Once you get the hang of this rhythm on one song, you’ll be able to turn it off and on like a light switch on whatever songs need that shuffle-y sound!
