    The intro to "Red House" has pretty straightforward timing, but that simplicity is disguised by the drums and Jimi's choice of opening lick. If you've ever played rhythm for someone who's playing that intro note-for-note, you've probably noticed how tricky it is to hit that opening note of the IV chord at the right spot. In this lesson, I'll teach you the simple count that helps you hit the right beat every time.
