Shuffle Riffs, Ties

Now let's put the shuffle thythm to good use. Here is a 12 bar Blues shuffle rigg. Notice how all of the notes which fall on the beat are played staccato. This is very common when playing shuffles. The last bar in this exercise departs from the riff and used triplets instead, which helps to buid momentum leading up to the repeat.
