I have been working on this over the weekend and I am struggling to get the end of the second bar to sound right, I do have the audio, its a bit like the blues brothers riff. The problem is I am counting 1&a 2&a etc and playing on the 1 and a to get the shuffle feel but it doesn't work for the end of the second 'bar'. If I count in fours the end bit is sort of ok but the triplets are off, counting in three's means the end of bar 2 is off, I have even tried winging it and that sounds worse.
Anyone got any bright ideas because I tend to run into this brick wall regularly. My best is counting the third beat 3&aa and playing the start of the slide on the second a and holding the fourth fret D string for the count of 4 of 4e&a, still not great but might be Im not fast enough
