Default Re: Drum Groove and a Story

Thanks for the mention, Ralph!

One of my all-time favourite songs is Mark Knopfler jamming with Chet Atkins on Poor Boy Blues, from the late 80s (and I'm not a big country fan, either.)

The ostinato guitar has a doubled-picked shuffle that essentially does the same as your snare here: pushing the beat and driving it along.

In fact, I just had to go back and listen to it again. Now, I'm set for the day.
