Help With The Blues Shuffle Groove

[greghagger]

The Blues shuffle groove can be problematic for bass players attempting to play it the first few times. There's a particular rhythmic pattern that has to be there in the bass line and this often throws players.

 

To play the shuffle groove correctly, it's all about understanding how the beat is divided and how to lock in with the drums. After that it's easy... he says!

 

To help you with the Blues shuffle I have created a new free lesson page on the Greg’s Bass Shed website where I start with explaining the basic groove and then show you shuffle bass riffs that you can use at a Blues gig or jam night.

 

So many great Blues tunes are played with the shuffle feel so it's great to master it once and for all.

 

You can also download a free PDF with all the Shuffle bass riffs on it in Tab and standard notation.
