Her left hand is what makes her shuffles better than the other pianists who have played FM material in or outside the band. And thanks to the 1992 International Music Publications Ltd. notation, you, too, can mimic Christine's left hand on the shuffle. When I play a Chris shuffle, I slightly adapt her pattern to my own weaker capability -- but heck it gets me through the song.

I bow to Christine's LEFT HAND.
My left hand has always been way weaker. I'm still improving, but I've always been a big I-V-I left hand man. I've been practicing some scales with my left hand lately. Mainly, after seeing GLYUTB!
