Description

First let me show you the difference between the rhythmic feel we've been using up till now and the new swing feel.

Let's mute the strings and play our 8th notes with up and downstrokes. When we evenly space the strums this is called a straight feel.

When we delay the upstroke so the beat is divided into 3 equal parts instead of 3, we have a swing feel.
