can you help me explain this rythm?

hi guys and girls

over the last few weeks I have discovered the music of seasick steve

I'm a bit of an amateur musician myself doing mainly vocals and some harp but I have little or no real musical knowledge as to specific rythms or notes. since there's a jam coming up near me I thought of doing this song since the rythm seemed pretty basic without too many hickups short of a few short breaks.

how would I be able to explain this rythm to a guitarist or drummer so that the band would get along without coming to a complete kakafony.

    It's a rock 4 (ie 4 beats to the bar). Count the tempo, so they know how fast it'll be (before you actually start). Tell them there are stops that you will indicate (they're pretty obvious anyway). Tell them what key you'll be doing it in and that there aren't any chord changes, so the groove is important.

    Good luck and have fun :)
