It’s a sad truth that few bands play the funk shuffle anymore.

(Section 5) Rocco’s foundational vocabulary (Section 2) Stacking triplets to create fills (Section 3) Rocco’s double triplet drop over bar lines/chord changes (Section 3) The sophisticated version of a foundational device for minor chords, that barely any bassist uses, and requires one note to be flattened by a semi-tone. (Section 2) Case Study Lines demonstrating Rocco’s unique device +modifying device combinations (Section 4 and Section 7) Creating a line with multiple iterations - a demonstration of the funk shuffle with multiple, composed iterations (Section 1) Thoughts on Muted Notes (section 3) Adapting Devices for Different Chord Movements Although the funk shuffle is criminally under-represented in contemporary music, the genre that still uses swing 8th notes and shuffles is the blues and blues rock.
