Learn 5 blues guitar rhythms that have a heavy guitar-driven sound and a swingin’ beat.
Overview
So Excited, Cold Shot, and Change It from SRV, Born With A Broken Heart, Somehow, Somewhere, Someway by KWS… these songs all have a common thread. They have a heavy, guitar-driven rhythm with a swing beat.
That heavy swing rhythm feel is what you’ll learn in this course. I’ve created five rhythms in that style, each with a different sound. You’ll also learn some muting techniques necessary to play them cleanly.
