Blues Shuffle

Shuffle rhythm uses a triplet feel. Within each quarter note you can feel 3 triplets, sometimes tying the first two. That’s how I start this blues bassline. See what kind of line you can create. Be sure to keep the snare on beat 3 centered and feeling comfortable. I enjoy practicing keyboards too. This style of music is real fun to experiment with. Have fun with the playalong. Now we’re playing music together!

    Groove first! Second comes tonality choices and shapes. Above are the chords I was thinking while tracking the keys part. Major influences for walking bass are Ray Brown on acoustic and Louis Satterfield on electric. I try and learn from anyone anywhere. When you hear something cool, it sticks as a paradigm, a model. Blues is often called at a jam session. It’s important to get comfortable walking bass over the 12 bar blues form.
