In this lesson, we learn to feel the difference between a STRAIGHT rhythm vs a SWING rhythm.

The terms "swing", "shuffle" and "blues" rhythm often refer to the same thing in this context!

The idea of this rhythm is much harder to explain than it is to demonstrate. So listen closely and then try your strumming hand at it.

If you're into blues or jazz, this is a foundational feel that you will get in most songs in the genre.

The examples are first played in a straight rhythm and then played over in a swing rhythm to best help you hear and feel the difference between the two.

Good luck!
