Take a step into the fun world of syncopation with 5 funk-inspired guitar rhythm parts played over a 12-bar progression.
Overview
Rhythm guitar skills are like muscles: you don’t realize how underdeveloped they are until you try to use them for something different. Well, this course is different.
If you’ve only ever studied swing or straight-ahead rockin’ blues rhythm, this course will baffle your brain. Playing on the off-beats is not something most of us are born being able to do, but if you slow it down, you can start working those rhythm muscles with a little bit of funk.
