Drumless blues track
A walking blues bass with a swung feel and a click holding the corners of the bar. The shuffle you play against it has to swing exactly as hard as the bass does.

Fills land at the end of each section and a crash marks every new section. Loop mode ignores the structure; turn it on to play or download the full arrangement.
Practice matching your shuffle subdivision to the walk, then try the ride and hat versions of the same groove. Twelve bars at a time, no rushing the turnaround.
Questions
- How do I keep a shuffle from rushing?
- Anchor beats two and four to the click and let the swung notes fall relaxed between them. Rushing almost always comes from squeezing the triplet space.
- Can I turn the click off?
- Yes. The click toggle in Drumless mode mutes it, leaving just the bass line. Good for testing whether your time survives without a safety net.
