What is a blues shuffle?
The blues shuffle is a beat based on swinging eighth-note triplets. It should sound like four sets of train wheels bumping along the rails. To play a shuffle, give the triplets a swing feel: ONE two-three, TWO two-three, THREE two-three, FOUR two-three. The shuffle stems from early slave dances.
