Here I play Groove 73 Slow from the Tommy Igoe Groove Essentials 2.0 Play Along Package. It is a shuffle that is very similar to the famous Jeff Porcaro "Rosanna" shuffle. As such, I thought it would be appropriate to attempt to explain the Jeff Porcaro shuffle. Please be aware that there are MANY variations of this shuffle and I only explain what I consider to be the "core" elements of the shuffle.

Here is a contents guide to help you navigate through the video.
