Hello Friends, this weeks lesson is in the rhythm and chords to the classic T-Bone shuffle. We learn the proper chords and how to play the shuffle rhythm them work in the melody line to the head or theme the correct way which not many people play correctly.

the original way is the best. thanks Duke
Thanks Douglas, sounds like your getting it. Duke
Hi Peter, Yes you have the right idea for the 1 change. You are a bit behoind the rhythm on the head so I would suggest slowing down the drum machine a bit. It was a little quick anyway. Then of course you would jump to the A string for the 4 chord pattern and on the lead line flat the 3rd note to go with the 4 chord change. This all should help. The song is a tad slower anyway. Good luck, Duke
Duke,
First I worked on the rythm, got it for the right hand, but the 1 to 4 with the g7th...I break in my rythm pattern.
It took me about 10 minutes, but I finally got the lead/melody down. Now I am going to work on it with the record and see how I do?? Either way, I feel like I have a head start. I love your lessons and ease in teaching. Thanks so much for a great lesson!!
Doug

Duke,
As always, a superb lesson. It's one of my signature songs and I've been playing that head wrong . I've boung to the flatted 7th of the 5 chord instead of staying on the opening lick for the head. Now I'm corrected and glad of it.
Thanks again for a great lesson. Looking forward to catching your show next time you come to Maine.
Bob
