I love Evan Shuffle-I've been playing along to Davids recording & also an old James Cotton CD-can anyone please tell me is this a song that's jam friendly? If it is-how would you describe it to a band that wasnt familiar wth it-or just forget it? Thanks!!

Evans Shuffle at a jam

The song itself is on just one chord (E), so you don't have to teach the chord progression to anyone at a jam. You can give the guitar player the idea of what to do by imitating the main guitar part just by moving back and forth between 1/2 Draw and 2/3 blow. The break in the middle is a little more involved but not too hard. You could fake it by cutting off the band in a dead stop, doing the "all right, all right" part yourself, then getting them started again.

Evan Shuffle at Jam

Thanks very much Expert Winslow!!! I thought it was just the one chord but as I'm a novice at working out grooves & still have a lot of trouble telling the difference between them I didnt want to trust my ears.Thats very much for your advice-now I have an idea of how to tackle it.
