Because notes were able to ring out longer and artists could play them less effort new rhythm ideas were being introduced. One of my favorite, if not my very favorite, blues guitarist during this time period was a man named T-Bone Walker. I love listening to him play the blues and I love the way he blends jazz and other progressions into his blues. In terms of what a 12 bar is, a lot of his music might not even be considered blues, but the emotion in which plays with say other wise. One of the things I always listen for when I listen to him play, beyond just the tasty solos and fills, beyond the crazy chord choice and lovely harmony is how he plays shuffles. So very interesting. When you learn your first shuffle you think it is simply 5 - 6 - 5 - 6, then you add the flat 7th 5 - 6 - b7 - 6 and you start to awaken a little more, then you listen to a guy like T-Bone and you realize that a blues shuffle is really just a way of making a static vamp move, the particular intervals aren't as important as the overall flow in general is. In addition to the fun shuffle we have added an apreggio over the IV chord. You can simply move the idea over the I chord up the fretboard 5 frets to make it the IV chord but the ukulele's limited sustain forces us to be creative, which I believe is for the best, so we mix up the IV chord with a cool F7 arpeggio, playing the Root, 3rd, 5th and b7th notes, F, A, C, Eb. Of course, we have an epic turnaround as well that takes advantage of the open C string and is a lot of fun to play as well, one you could add to any blues shuffle or blues song you are playing in the key of C.
