The Shuffle feel
Following our lessons in triplets, we will now look at playing a tripletbased rhythmic pattern called the shuffle. This pattern changes the position of the offbeats, moving them slightly later in the beat, and adds a strong element of musical 'bounce' to a rhythm. It is extensively used in blues music, some types of jazz and a great deal in hip-hop, rap and r&b.
