Le "TEXAS SHUFFLE" un rythme pour une main faible en béton

Le “TEXAS SHUFFLE” un rythme pour une main faible en béton

Bonjour à toutes et à tous !

Aujourd’hui je vais vous parler d’un rythme « le TEXAS SHUFFLE”

C’est un rythme que je souhaite travailler sérieusement, car je suis  fan du shuffle, du Half shuffle et pourtant je ne maitrise pas bien le Texas shuffle.

Alors c’est décidé je vais enfin me mettre à travailler ce rythme qui parait si simple et qui pourtant est super compliqué.

Compliqué car la…

Ray Price : Rest In Peace

This morning I learned of Ray Price's passing. Ray was a pioneer of honky-tonk country music called the Texas shuffle. He was also an innovator in the Nashville sound that blossomed in the 60s and featured a country crooner with orchestrations. As a young man, Price filled in for Hank Williams when he was too "sick" to perform. After Williams died Ray Price led the Drifting Cowboys band for a few years as they continued to play. But it was in the early 50s when he put together a band called the Cherokee Cowboys that Price really found his voice. These were the Texas shuffle years and the Cherokee Cowboys was arguably the best country music band around. Willie Nelson was even in the band in the 60s. All you cats and dogs who haven't heard of Ray Price should go to youtube and search for Ray Price Crazy Arms. Then watch him sing it in his Nudie suit or just sit and listen. (I don't really care for the Nashville sound, although if anyone can croon it was Ray Price. But the Texas shuffle sound with the fiddles and the pedal steel guitar really hits home for me.) Ray Price isn't as well known as some of the country greats from his era: Hank Williams, Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, etc. But his influence is huge. Over Thanksgiving I got to spend some time talking with my Uncle Kenny who lives in rural Missouri. Kenny has been playing lead guitar and singing in a country band that plays dance halls in little towns around home for 30 years. He loves the sort of music that Ray Price played and he's nervous because not that many people come out to dance any more. It made me sad to think that as these old crooners and their generation die we may lose something important. Rest in Peace Mr. Price. Thank you for the songs.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Pride And Joy (Montreux '82) (by SRVMusicVideo)

I've been working on the intro to this song for hours. Progress made: I now understand what he's playing, but I cannot play it properly. That shuffle he's doing is so much harder than I thought it would be.
