Blues Shuffle: 4/4 Time; Key of Em
Great as a one guitar piece with some drums and a walking bass line or each part
seperately by two guitars for a little more depth, and great for ad-lib blues
riffing...keep in mind this is more a guideline than anything and you should make
it your own.
Like all music (especially blues), it is more about the expression of emotion,
than following any pre-ordained rules. Have fun and keep jammin!
