Can also be used in a Jazz setting with chords in the left-hand. The 2nd measure, you can stay
on the C7 chord rather tan moving to F7.

REMEMBER: When playing a blues shuffle pattern the feel is triplet based. This means if you see
eighth notes written, they are really triplets or "swung eighths". See the first measure of Lick #10.
Notice the tripletrs in the left hand? This would sound the SAME as the left hand for Lick #9.
