Shuffle & Swing

Posted Wed, 05/01/2013 - 14:13 by Francis

Hi...Can someone explain the difference between a shuffle rhythm and a swing? Perhaps a few examples of popular songs would help me. If you know any Stevie Ray Vaughn songs that fit the bill, that would help. Guitar is my first instrument. Thanks!

Blues Revue magazine regularly releases "artist showcase" announcements, with free downloads of mp3s from blues artists you may or may not have heard of yet. Not necessarily harp stuff, but it's one way to kind of keep up with new artists coming out, without investing anything. Ya never know....

You can also subscribe to their "e-zine" (Blues Wax), which has blues-related nterviews and articles (free). continue reading...

Howlin' Wolf

I know I'll never be able to sing like him and I don't really have a desire to emulate a lot of his playing, but man, I love listening to him. It's something I can just shut off my brain and listen to without thinking too hard. Check out the book Moanin' at Midnight. Great biography.
