Twelve-Bar Blues: 07_blues_chords.yml

A shuffle blues in G, where the walking bass, the comping chords and the riff are each one bar long, played through the twelve-bar blues and the quick-change blues. The comp's chord is a dominant seventh, which stays one on every chord of the blues, and the riff's blue note moves with the chords.

Grooves: 09_groove.yml

A twelve-bar organ shuffle in G minor, llamatron's own tune in the spirit of a sixties organ trio: a Hammond lick, walking pedals, seventh chords bubbling through an arpeggiator, and drums. The song shuffles with the factory groove 8th swing 66, the pedals and pads keep grooves of their own, the drums are off so the kick and snare stay on the grid, and the scenes play it straight, drag it behind the beat with a groove of the set's own, and shuffle it harder, so you can hear how the track's choice wins over the scene's, which wins over the song's.
