When listening to a good player you'll notice that each note they play has dynamic shape. Try this lick in a shuffle rhythm...

2 2 3 3 4 4 5+ 6+

Play each downbeat note with a "HA" and play each upbeat softly, except the last 6+. The HA ramps up in volume quickly and lowers in volume slower... giving each note a dynamic shape. Give this a try.
