About Rhythm & Guitar

You got rhythm? You got a guitar? Yeah, well everything else comes along with it. There is so much to rhythm guitar. Most people just think of strumming patterns when it comes to rhythm guitar, but rhythm consists of everything with a rhythmic pattern. This includes strumming, blues licks, finger picking, finger style, finger tapping style, thumping, and any other percussive patterns you want to add to the guitar. This can be a very fun part of guitar.

I try to have a bit of fun myself in these videos. You'll find lessons on expanding basic strumming patterns, finger style playing, and even lessons on thumping the electric guitar like a funk bass player. Have fun with these lessons and learn how to create a great foundation for jamming.
