Gary’s blues rhythm
Tue, 03/11/2025 - 03:22
i've just started working on Gary's blues. I'm not finding the pulls, slaps and flutters too difficult. But I'm having to work really hard at the Rhythm. Is this other peoples experience?
Roger:
Lots of great syncopation in "Gary's Blues," with pickup notes, grace notes, etc., all within a shuffle context. Takes a lot of listening (and tapping your foot and swaying your body).
One thing that might help, if you haven't done it already, is to check out David's "Groove" lessons (with some fabulous musicians), at https://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/performance_training_groove
