        Here is a rhythm part similar to what you would find in a song like See See Baby by Freddie King. It has a very interesting turnaround that can be used in other ways as well. I will be posting a detailed breakdown of this shuffle in the Members Teaching Members section probably tomorrow afternoon if anyone is interested

          Most excellent Freddy King work. I need to get this sort of thing into automatic mode and just have fun playing. Looking forward to your lessons.

          Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

                  Those chords are some of my favorites too. They work in many situations

                  Smooth, melodic and jazzy. Well-played, Barry.

                      That’s great, Barry. Thanks so much. I had to grab my guitar right away and give it a try. I think I’ve figured out most of it. It’s so much fun to play. I’m really looking forward to your lesson. (Let’s see if I’ve got everything right.)
