Hi all,
Here's a shuffle blues.
The melody is played by a piano. The solos are played by an harmonica and an electric guitar. Christian

Hi Chris,

I love shuffle blues, so this was a real pleasure to listen to. I do think if you cut back on the bassline just a little the other instruments will shine a little better. An excellent choice of tracks. Terrific song!

"Chris37:...

Right now, I'm shaking my head in amazed disbelief at the way you consistently dream up the most deliciously unusual RealTrack mixtures! A gravelly harmonica solo over a medium-tempo shuffle rhythm augmented by a bouncing, walking bassline and "kicked up a notch" by a snappy, "happy" blues-type electric guitar solo! And then, there's your measured yet coolly swinging, melodic piano-playing and comping keeping everything bopping right along...

"My Shuffle Blues" has got a enough "sass" in it to bring a body to the dance floor, and it's got enough guts 'n blues in it for a fight to break out!!! Hah cool !!!

Juicy, joyfully jazzy music-making this is, "Chris37"!!!

Here we go!

LOREN

Chris,

This is a very engaging listen! Shuffle blues is such a good style and you've really done it justice!

It's definitely 'thumbs up' from me for this one.

Nice work on this smile It's a really charming tune - love the groove on it, and though the mix sounded concise and professional. Got my toe tapping within about 10 seconds.

Thanks for sharing!

Hu Christian,

that's a really cool one. There's nothing like a good shuffle, so I enjoyed it a lot.
