Now a shuffle is a tune that basically has a walking type of sound, rhythm to it.
Dum, dee, dum, dee, dum, dee, dum, dum. Like you're walking along a railroad track.
So a shuffle can be like this…
As popularized by Jimmy Reed, this type of thing.
Or you can alternate the notes…
Or it could be like this…
Or it can be any number of different things it can even have kind of a sliding sound.
Underneath it all lies that 4/4 time where you have that walking sound.
