Abstract

This article from Guitar World explores an approach to strengthening one's sense of groove and time in both rhythm and lead playing. The exercise involves creating a repeating riff or vamp to establish the groove, and then soloing over that groove while locking into the rhythm part. The example provided is a 12-bar blues shuffle in the key of E, inspired by Albert King's "Can't You See What You Are Doing to Me," Jimi Hendrix's "Jam Back at the House," and Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Wall of Denial." The article includes figures illustrating the rhythm part and the solo played over the form, as well as tips for laying the solo lines deep into the shuffle groove. [Extracted from the article]
