Difference between 12/8 and Shuffle Blues

[greghagger]

I've made a few lessons on 12/8 Blues recently and this has raised questions from some of you. A few of you have asked what the difference is between playing in 12/8 and 4/4 shuffle time. 

 

This can be very confusing as you can technically notate shuffle grooves in both 12/8 and 4/4. But you do need to know the differences between these two time feels if you play at Blues jams or in Blues bands.

 

I've made a video lesson covering all of this, in easy-to-understand language with musical examples.

 

There’s a free PDF link in the video description.

Quite timely, I was doing a similar lesson last week from Scott D.
