The Shuffle
By using a constant stream of swinging eighth notes, an effect known as the shuffle is produced. The following example contains the now familiar cross harp Blues riff played as a shuffle.
Here is the same riff extended to a full 12 Bar Blues progression.
Here is another song played with a shuffle feel. This one is in the key of C.
