PART ONE (free on YouTube):  Example one is based upon the common "even 8th-note" rock rhythm. This groove is based upon performing a steady and consistent 8th-note groove. Often times chord shots are intermixed or layered over the groove. This gives the rhythm an effect of a loss to the down-beat.

PART TWO:  In example two, we're going to run through another 8th-note feel. However, this time we'll develop an 8th-note syncopated idea with an emphasis upon the back-beat. 

PART THREE:

In example three, I've included the groove known of in heavy metal and hard rock styles as the, "Gallop." This rhythm applies a mix of both 8th-notes and 16th-notes that groove steadily and consistently to create a heavy, "chugging" feel.

The pattern used in example three is a recurring mix of an 8th-note and two 16th-notes. This establishes a picking pattern for the strum-hand that remains steady throughout.
 
PART FOUR:  Example four focuses on the rhythmic feel found throughout many of the songs played by British Blues-Rock bands. This rhythmic style includes the style of music played by bands such as; Ten Years After, Jethro Tull, and Cream.

The rhythm pattern shown in example 04 demonstrates a style of British Blues-Rock groove that applies consistent 8th-note triplets.
