Blues Brothers Rhythm. 2 2
The reason I've included this rhythm is 3 3
because it's a very common rhythm pattern used in a lot of blues and pop songs. 4 4
It's also a bit of fun, and it'll be very useful in your playing. 5 5
It's very simple. 6 6
We're just going to practice it for now with a G chord. 7 7
So locate the G chord. 8 8
This time it's not above middle C, it's below middle C. 9 9
So the G chord below middle C, 10 10
and the root note of the chord on the left hand one octave below that. 11 11
So that's your first shape. 12 12
Second shape is keep the two root notes with both hands. 13 13
Move the third and the fifth on the right hand up one note each. 14 14
[MUSIC] 15 15
Third shape. 16 16
Keep the two root notes again. 17 17
Move the third and fifth up again, 18 18
and then back down, and back down to the G. 19 19
You're gonna play each right hand chord twice. 20 20

And you can see the sheet music at the bottom of the page, if you bring the left 22 22
hand note just in before the right hand bass, it can sound more interesting 23 23
