Description
This is a study of basic strum and rhythm patterns…(Quarter note rhythms, half note rhythms, eighth note rhythms, etc..) In some of the examples, a single rhythm pattern is applied to different harmonic and style situations.
For example, an eighth note strum pattern is applied to a rock groove, a country groove, a jazz groove, a blues groove, etc..
Rhythm symbolism and rhythm patterns are clearly explained. Hints and exercises are given on how to change between chords quickly and accurately.
This study is unique in the sense that some of the exercises are beginning level, some are intermediate, and some are advanced. The primary difference between these levels are in the chord shapes.
This is a Supplementary Lesson. Level 3-5. 22 pages and CD or tape.
