Rhythm is an essential part of playing guitar. Without it, songs can sound flat and dull to yourself and listeners. Anyone can lose interest in basic strums without a sense of groove or feel.
It’s also one of the most challenging skills for guitarists to learn. That’s why we created an easy-to-follow course you can complete in under two hours – to get you excited and confident in playing rhythm on the guitar.
Leave awkward strumming behind. Watch these four demonstrations to see how
you’ll take one chord progression and express it musically in many different ways.
Get in the groove to elevate your guitar playing. You’ll go from learning the most basic strum
patterns to exciting rhythmic techniques you can throw into any song or practice session.
