This is a real blind spot in my music-knowledge so far. And as I'm guessing I'm not the only one, I thought I might start a topic about grooves.
We all know the shuffle. And can explain a guitar and drums what to do. But what about the other grooves (my examples would be non-systematic and therefore not very helpfull...)? Perhaps some of you can post examples with explanations, or perhaps Jason/Adam can do a vid as well? I would like to be able to tell the guitar-guy a bit more than I now can when calling a song, and would be very thankful for tips and pointers!

Have you checked out jimilee's 'every groove a blues man needs to know' CD? It's available as a download, comes with notes on the grooves. Not comprehensive, but not bad

Bee is right, Jimi Lee's two cd set will help you to familiarize yourself with all the diiferent shuffle styles by name. It takes a real knowledgable drummer to know the most common grooves.
There designed as jam tracks. The cd's demo approx 32 shuffles performed by a pro band. Highly recommend!
