hardD Blues Shuffle Polyrhythm
Play a shuffle rhythm on low D (quarter note triplets, accent beats 1 and 4). Simultaneously play D-F#-A melody in straight quarter notes. The shuffle is in 12/8 feel, the melody is in 4/4. They realign every 4 measures. Practice at 90 BPM.
Tip: This is like patting your head and rubbing your stomach, but musical. Each hand lives in its own time signature - let them be independent.
