8 Go-To Rhythm Approaches For Pro Blues Guitarists
Guitarists spend the majority of their stage time playing rhythm guitar, which is one good reason why it's critical to develop solid rhythm guitar skills. Not only does it lay the foundation for the music, but it also showcases your timing and feel. A solid rhythmic groove can make even the most basic chord progression sound interesting, and it gives the lead guitarist the room they need to shine.
Jack Ruch is widely acknowledged as having top-notch rhythm chops, which is why we're thrilled to announce his new course, Jack's Manual for Tasty Blues Rhythm.
”In this 'manual' for tasty blues rhythm, I'll show you flavorful approaches for playing rhythm guitar over four must-know blues feels – Shuffles, Slow Blues, Minor Blues and a Rockin' Blues.
I'll demonstrate eight of my go-to approaches, we'll apply them over jam tracks for context, and then I'll break each down for you in juicy detail.
Everything I show you I've learned myself over decades of playing guitar so I'm really happy to put it all together in this manual.”
Jack will demonstrate and show you how to play two rhythm guitar variations for a blues shuffle in A, two variations for a slow blues in G, two more for a straight minor blues feel, and then wrap things up with two rhythm approaches for classic rockin' blues.
You'll have all of TrueFire's advanced learning tools at your finger tips to personalize your workspace and learn at your own pace.
You can loop, slow down, or speed up any section of a lesson. Plus, all of the tab and notation is synced to the videos for the optimal learning experience. You'll also get tab and standard notation files to print out, Guitar Pro files, and all of the backing tracks to practice with.
Grab your guitar, and let's dig in with Jack Ruch!
