Some clips of the first examples in the book.

Hey @Mark Wein and @sunvalleylaw here is my recording of the 12 bar shuffle with simple top.

The garageband amp model sounds like wet dog poop but I suppose it will work for these purposes. What do you think? I would have played only half of those stabs. It sounds a little busy to me, but that is how its written.

Ill post the bottom and turnarounds shortly.

Actually you are playing on the down beat....the part should be on the "ands" of every beat.

Are you using the up strum?

 

[sunvalleylaw]

I am using my foot to tap and match the up strum with my foot coming up. Seems to help. Doesn't mean I play the chords very well, so that throws my timing off, but other than that, the foot tapping helps.

Yes but I keep migrating back to the down beat for some reason

This might be the hardest thing Ive ever tried to do with a guitar. I literately want to break something.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Are you trying the foot thing? It helps me with that. Not that I am perfect by a long stretch.

Ok @Mark Wein and @sunvalleylaw Here it is again. the only way I could make it happen was to chunk the downbeat and play the up. I assume that is ok. Its not perfect but I think it is much more on the mark.

I can't listen on my tablet right now but it sounds like you're on the right track. Once you get it in time try floating the strumming hand over the strings on the downbeat .

For whatever reason, sound cloud gives me no audio again. Grr. Will have to figure that out.
