if your playing, like, trsditional blues you have to keep the tempo constant..witch it is mostly. but sometimes you play the next bar after 3 bets instead of 4. this music (if thats what you'r doing) is like a train that just keeps rolling in a tottaly steady way..and the little flourishes and whatever do not interupt the relentles tempo. otherwise it sounds ragged and kind of off and on. if thats what you are doin here. ed
