"Hi my name is Jared and today we’re going to be talking about the basic blues shuffle. There’s a variety of different ways we can do the blues shuffle but my personal opinion on a beginner blues shuffle will start out like this. We are going to do something called an E-7 we are going to go ahead and bar our first five strings on a guitar but in actuality we are going to be only playing the first three. How its going to go is. So we are going to attack the first three first and then we are going to take our middle finger and place it on the sixth string, third fret. We do it rhythmically its going to be one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and. Our next chord we are going to move to is going to be A-7 so we are going to go ahead and attack First of just an A minor or A major. That is what it will sound like. It is going to be similar to the E we’re just going to attack one, two ,three, four from A so we when attack A, D, G and B. And we are going to go ahead and hammer on to the third fret of the fifth string. Let’s try putting those two together. You’re on your way to becoming Howell Wolfe. Alright, our next chord is going to be what we call a C7 dominant. So basically it’s going to look, we are going to start right here on C which is also going to be fifth string, third fret, middle finger placed right there. Our first finger will be placed on the second fret of the D string and our fourth will be placed on the third fret of the G string. It is going to sound like this. Our next chord is going to be the B dominant 7 and all we’re doing is moving that exact same chord down, half step to the next fret over. So how does that sound? Now let’s put all four chords together. That’s how it’s going to sound. "

on 1/28/2009 why do do many call this shuffle?
in all my research, this is form of Boogie Woogie, not shuffle. if we are splitting hairs, and i do split hairs!
simply put: Jump blues and Rock & Roll (pre 1960) come from Boogie Woogie.
"Shuffle" is swing.
there is a difference.
