In many popular styles, including jazz and blues, it is customary to 'swing' the rhythm. That means that you will play the eighth notes unevenly, using a long-short rhythm.
Instructions:
- Watch the instructional videos “Blues 3” and “Swing Time Demo.”
- Practice tapping each rhythm without audio until it feels comfortable.
- Choose an audio track from the media playlist.
- Listen to the track several times to develop a feel for the style.
- Tap the rhythm along with the audio.
