Join me and a group of the most experienced harmonica-backing blues musicians on the planet for a lesson on Grooves. Our band for this lesson is Rusty Zinn (guitar), RW Grigsby (bass) and Marty Dodson (drums). In this study we cover all the common grooves played in blues: Shuffle, Double Shuffle, T-Bone Shuffle, Jimmy Reed Shuffle, Backwards Shuffle, Chicago Shuffle, Floater (Shuffle), Box (Shuffle), Lump (Shuffle), Flat Tire, Swing, Two Beat, Mojo Beat (Two Beat), Train Beat (Two Beat), Rock Beat, Funk, Tramp, Slow Blues, Rhumba, Modal, and more! Understanding the names of grooves and how to explain each instrument's role is paramount in being a good bandleader, accompanist and song writer.
