RHYTHM GUITAR 007:
Blues and Rock Rhythms

 
 NEW  The seventh lesson of "Rhythm Guitar" studies the grooves of Blues and Rock.

Four examples practice feels like accented eighth's, 16th-note Shuffle (Rock), Slow solo Blues (in 6/8 time), and performing the 8th-note triplet Blues shuffle.

A bonus to BASIC and PREMIUM web-site members are the MP3 play-along tracks that will help with learning each rhythm example. 



Paid Web-site members (BASIC and PREMIUM), can watch the associated video lessons and download the detailed PDF handout, along with the MP3 clap /strum play-along tracks...


Join the member's area to download the PDF handout and MP3's. Study all of the examples with full access to both video lessons. Be sure to spend some additional time on learning the "Rhythm Jam Challenge" piece that I performed at the start of the lesson in the "Part One" video...

Watch the Part One Video FREE on YouTube:



PART ONE:  In example one, modified straight eighth's rhythms highlight accented segments of the beat. These accents occur on different beats of the groove. Listen closely to the video demonstrations and the play along MP3 for how each beat is supposed to be felt in time.

PART TWO:  In example two, the exercise is based upon syncopated shuffle-rock accents of the sixteenth note groove, (a meter established through a dotted eighth and a sixteenth-note). This feel is very popular and can be found throughout songs performed in various styles. 




PART THREE:
In example three, a triple meter (6/8 time) groove is applied within the key center of an "A Blues" harmony. The feel is unique the clap and count play-a-long MP3, "example_03_clap," to learn how to properly punctuate the timing and feel in this triple meter feel of 6/8 time.
 

PART FOUR:  In example four, a traditional eighth-note triplet feel of the Blues Shuffle is the focus. The rhythmic meter consists of a two bar phrase that repeats in measures three and four. 

The example four groove, is based upon groups of eighth-notes (and some quarter notes) performed under the triplet sub-division.
