Its always fun to add a few twists to the classic Chuck Berry rhythm riff (ex. 1), which you can play straight or with a swing feel. I discovered my first variation trying to decode Jerry Reeds Tupelo Mississippi Flash. I never got that tune exactly right, but Ive learned many good licks trying to assimilate something I couldnt quite hear. On a country gig, whenever the singer calls a number Ive never heard, I smile and play Ex. 2. I inevitably get looks of admiration for nailing what was on the record.
Examples 3 and 4 are alternate blues-shuffle figures. The former is fairly simple and works well supporting vocals. The latter really swings and could push a soloist over the top.
