Shuffle Rhythm
The shuffle rhythm is a variation of triplet timing. It is created by not playing the middle note of the triplet group. In music notation the shuffle rhythm is indicated by an eighth rest replacing the middle note of the triplet.
In the following Blues exercise the first beat of each bar is played as a shuffle rhythm with the remaining three beats of the bar played as eighth note triplets. To achieve the eighth rest place your left hand fingers lightly on the strings.
