Learning to Play Guitar: Playing Rhythm Guitar

Discover the leading lights of “rhythm guitar”, a playing style where the guitarist provides the rhythmic foundation for a band. Review your fingerstyle technique, and play arpeggios (broken chords). Learn to play eighth-notes, and “¾” or waltz-like rhythms. Practice a two-octave scale, some melodic patterns or “licks”, and put these elements together in today’s song. This lecture, presented by Colin McAllister, is from Learning to Play Guitar: Chords, Scales, and Solos. Discover the joy of playing, reading, and understanding music from a master teacher, in this hands-on course.
