Shuffle pattern
- Let's make it sound a lot more like a blues by adding a shuffle pattern in the left hand. We're going to play the root and fifth of each chord moving to the root and sixth. For a C chord, we'll have the root C and the fifth G. Moving to C and A, the sixth. And we're going to play it in a shuffle rhythm which is played with a triplet feel like this. (blues piano music) Okay. For the F chord, we'll have F and C moving to F and D. (blues piano music) And when we get to the five chord, G, we'll have G and D moving to G and E. Here's the 12 bar form again played with triads in the right hand in our inversions and a shuffle pattern in the left hand. (blues piano music)
