In this video I'm sharing one of the ways I would play country rhythm guitar over the Ray Price classic tune Heartaches by the Number. Country shuffles are a super popular country music feel and every guitarist should know how to play rhythm on tunes like this.
Gear:
Fender Partscaster
Lollar Pickups
Neck PU- Charlie Christian
Bridge PU- Vintage T
Strings: D'Addario 10-46

Hey ☺️ How about covering the lead style that's used in Dwight's "blame the vain" . Most of it seems to start in a bend then go to the natural note. It's very cool but not easy to do 🤔 thanks

[@jpollock3888]

Nice compliment to your TrueFire lessons I'm working with. Appreciate your professionalism, no beer, no wine, no begging for 'the tip jar', no cursing, no pushing gear - let those other guys fall into those traps. Thanks for all you do that help us play better. Your heads above the rest.

[@JasonLoughlinMusic]

All I ask is for people to subscribe and check out my teaching site if you dig what I share here ;)

[@Jay-lr3me]

Totally agree except for the no cursing lol who cares

[@kylekruszewski1078]

I’m loving your “Country Guitar Bootcamp” and your approach for approaching these songs! The voice leading has been a game changer for me!

[@listairgin]

Great approach to teaching, thanks so much. Subscribed. 👍🏻🌌🌅🌠

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Full disclosure. I'm learning the ukulele, both tenor and baritone. Most guitar videos are pretty useless, but this was hands down the most practical instructional video I've seen yet. Merci from your most recent sub.

[@teej0813]

Great stuff, Jason! I stumbled on your video as I was researching a country shuffle I'm writing, and you've given me some great ideas! Thank you! As an FYI... the shuffle feel is actually based on triplets (1 - and - a - 2 - and - a), although it's often written as a dotted-eighth, sixteenth. But dotted-eighth, sixteenth is a different feel (think Willie's On The Road Again). So if someone is struggling getting the shuffle feel just right (or trying to Quantize it), think triplets instead. Anyway, thank you for your video... very helpful! You've earned a Like and a Follow.

That rhythm reminds me of the more staccato jamaican ska feel.

[@hoggydoggy]

My exact thoughts - whilst the rest of the instrumentation obviously isn't in that vein, it's a ska rhythm guitar part, through & through!

[@okfine5767]

Nice job of laying this out in clear, economical language. Great teacher!

[@jwp2460]

I love country shuffles! I grew up hearing this kind of music quite a bit since my Dad was a huge fan of this type of honkytonk music from guys like Ray Price, Earnest Tubb, etc. One of my favorite modern bands that does style so well is the Mavericks. Awesome stuff as usual Jason!

[@patrickbrown8540]

Very nice lesson! My biggest takeaway is how you built that inbetween lick using the 5th, 6th and 2nd 3rd variants

[@edwardcrump7735]

Jason, spot on with your explanation. Thank you

[@williamf3988]

I wish you'd say what triads you're playing.. from the left hand had position it looks like you're playing strings 2,3,4 vice 1,2,3. Does it make any difference?

[@JasonLoughlinMusic]

I do say every triad I play along with inversions. Maybe you missed it

[@Maltloaflegrande]

It makes sense to write a shuffle as 4/4, but in my head I've always been more comfortable thinking 12/16. Anyone else out there who does that?

[@JasonLoughlinMusic]

We write shuffles in 4/4 for country music and just indicate that it’s a shuffle by writing it on the chart or saying it to a band. You do feel shuffles as 12/8 though

[@jeffreypaulross9767]

Sounds more like Ska! Listen to Van Howard playing rhythm on all those Ray Price Shuffles on the Grand Ol Opry tv shows from the 50s.

[@jamesrichardson4988]

Hey man, just grabbed your "Country 1-2-3" course on TrueFire and really digging it, glad to have found you on here too! Thanks for all the help getting better at country playing!

[@Annunaki_0517]

That was great. Really helpful and clear explanation of a super cool riff. Worth a +1 subscriber. Keep this up and your channel will grow like mad. Just remember that I was here when it was still a cool secret!

[@mschreib.TheGet]

Jason ~ I literally wrote an entire song while going through your video ~ on my 1/2 hr break at work I can’t wait to get home Love that lick/stop to chorus transition ~ right in my wheelhouse

Thank you for the insights on all the nuances. Very informative. This reminds me a lot of Little Ways (Dwight).

Thanks!

Awesome!

[@JasonLoughlinMusic]

Thanks James

[@ambroseharper8316]

Thanks so much 😊

[@JasonLoughlinMusic]

My pleasure

[@mrunit7261]

That backbeat has to be used sparingly as it gets really boring after awhile...

[@fjcara]

No putdown sincerely; but I don't understand why guitar teachers show you stuff in Bb.

[@JasonLoughlinMusic]

Um because in the real world you actually have to play in Bb. Also Heartaches By The Number is in Bb. I like to try to prepare my students for the real world not more KZbin videos. Now you know ;)

[@alexandergriggs9934]

Guitarists need to break out of only being able to play in the sharp keys. Play some standards with horn players. You’ll be playing in F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db etc. It’s good for you.

[@JasonLoughlinMusic]

I mean you don't even need to bother with standards. Tons of country standards are in flat keys. Know your fretboard@@alexandergriggs9934

[@michaelgranka7904]

Because the song is in B flat.

[@rogerhaase4651]

Um, because Bb is a key on the fretboard? And because there are tons of music composed in the key of Bb?
