Last month, we analyzed the densely layered rhythmic blend of tresillo, backbeat and triplets that powered many classic New Orleans-based R&B hits. This month, we'll look at the city's unique spin on one of the fundamental grooves of humanity itself: the two-beat.

not only a great guy and musician, but a brilliant blues historian.

Great gtr player - amazing w Blasters. Lots of knowledge on historic styles . Also a generous teacher. Keith is the best.

[GerritBrockmann]

Keith was my favorite teacher at M.I. Best wishes to him from Gerrit, Bremen, Germany!

Great lesson, finally starting to get into New Orleans stuff. He was probably off because he couldn't hear the music, it might have been a direct in to the computer/recording device.

3:00 ....Mean Mr. Mustard sleeps in the park...shaves in the dark...tryin' ta save

I know he is a pro, but as a drummer, I could only stand to listen to this for 30 seconds.

[Erkki_Mela]

As a guitar player, it's a bit embarrassing. Not that a lot of youtubers even notice it.

[gseifers]

So ahead of the beat, painfully horrible

[zayyakkk]

Probably the worst music in the world x
