How To Play A Texas Shuffle Part 2 - With Swung Ride
Channel: Drum Lessons with Joe The Drummer
Date: 27/05/2021

Here's the second in what's going to be a series of videos about the "Texas Shuffle" or "Two Handed Shuffle". It's the kind of thing Chris Layton is well known for with Stevie Ray Vaughn.

We're going to play a swing on the ride instead of a shuffle. It's a great way to introduce some "air" into the groove. 

For some examples of songs with this groove, check out:
I Ain't Got You by Jimmy Reed
Ain't Got Nobody by Hound Dog Taylor
Tired Of Your Jive by BB King
Sugar by Aynsley Lister
You Upset Me Baby by Joe Bonamassa
Night Ridin' Daddy - James Harman (cool groove, accents the & of 3)

Have a Jam to those.
