Twelve Eight boogie shuffle rhythm. 2 2
Remember how you counted twelve beats in each bar in Blueberry Hill. 3 3
So count it out, one two three one two three one two three one two three. 4 4
Tap out this rhythm on the first and third beats only, so 5 5
you're leaving out the second beat. 6 6
One, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, 7 7
three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three. 8 8
Notice how it shuffles along. 9 9
This is going to be your basic rhythm. 10 10
And you're going to use two note chord shifts with your left hand. 11 11
You're gonna use the blues chords again, C, F and G. 12 12
Let's find the two shapes with C. 13 13
Two octaves left of middle C, 14 14
your first shape is the root of the chord and the first two, three, four, five. 15 15
That's your first shape. 16 16
We'll call it C5. 17 17
Second shape is just now finger off and your thumb still under it. 18 18
Two, three, four, five, six. 19 19
So that's your second shape. 20 20
[MUSIC] 21 21
And you're going to use this to beat out the rhythm. 22 22
So watch it carefully. 23 23
One, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, 24 24
two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three. 25 25
Okay, then you have to transpose that to F and G. 26 26
It's going to look exactly the same. 27 27
So everything up to F. 28 28
[MUSIC] 29 29
And everything up to G. 30 30
[MUSIC] 31 31
Back to C. 32 32
[MUSIC] 33 33
Right hand's simply going to play basic chord at the start of the beats. 34 34
[MUSIC] 35 35
If you're going to F, both hands. 36 36
[MUSIC] 37 37
G, one up. 38 38
[MUSIC] 39 39
C. 40 40
[MUSIC] 41 41
Okay, now can try a progression to the next page, 42 42
the 12/8 Boogie Shuffle 12 Bar Blues, and 43 43
you'll notice that I've added in some sevens to give it some color. 44 44
