Today we are going to do a rhythm tutorial based in fingerpicking, but a very different fingerpicking than just arpeggiating a chord, it is a shuffle. A shuffle is fingerpicking that has some movement in it, make a static chord like G, move and change while still have the same harmonic integrity to support a melody. If you want to try to recreate this in other keys I am playing the root of the chord followed by the 5th and then adding the color tone, the 6th interval, to give it its groove. That has been so much talk lately about this song "being country" and this song "not being country" and the truth is genres are meant to be blended and no single person owns them. We can see that in genres of music with roots in the American south as blues, gospel, cajun and country music don't have hard lines where one genre stops and the other starts. As always the tutorial with have the tabs on the screen ready to help you learn how to play this country gospel blues easily and quickly.

Thanks for this Tyler! I found a small typo in the shuffle pdf. The G major pentatonic shape 3 starts in C and has 6 notes (sexitonic?)
