A Simple & Effective Rhythm Exercise for Guitar Players

[@bkmeahan]

These type of exercises are like shoulder workouts. I hate doing them because I suck at them, but that just tells me that I need to do them more. I always catch myself doing a few minutes then thinking I've got it and moving on, but getting it right one time doesn't equal "i got this"

[@toke7342]

You don't need shoulder exercises to play guitar, it's all in the hands.

[@99vkh]

Great one… would like more such lessons, especially playing both Rhythm and lead alternatively for say 2 measures each…. 😊

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Great idea!

[@stefanbogosavljevic]

Thank you! And yess, I would definietly like to see more videos about rhythm but also strumming patterns aswell.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Noted!

[@nicklaselverse5404]

Loving the content as always Andrew! A quick video idea for you, i think you would nail, is going through a challenging guitar song and explaining how the different music theory concepts apply to how the song was made or can be understood. As a way to see how it all can come together, when you are at given level. Personally i think it would be very illustrative to show off the tools you've given us, and to see how they are used to make music. A song thats challenging but not overly so, for a video like this would be something like; khruangbin - August 10 or Arc de Soleil - Sahara cowboy. Just an idea and keep up the great work!

There's no way in hell dude!! I used to have the SAME exact wallpaper lmaoo

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

hahaha no way! It's such a good one 😀

[@simondavies6270]

A great and simple idea to incorporate into your practice routine - 7 minutes everyday.

[@hankhill7494]

Yes to more exercises! Thank you 🙏

[@jbchi6912]

Great lesson! In a future video, could you show how to lock in with the metronome. I understand one click in relation to quarter notes. I get lost with the other subdivisions. Thanks!

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Sure thing! Great suggestion

[@careditz2007]

sir I am a beginner, please tell me in which order I should watch your videos

[@shelleymonder]

thanks. more rhythm advice and exercises would be great

[@rapharenthlei]

I just know your channel is going to blow up soon. I love you and everything you do❤❤ . Thanks for another great video.😊

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Thank you so much! 😁🙏🏻

[@asfdqwer]

thank you sensei.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

My pleasure!!

[@Cloud_Strife_19]

Thank you. More rhythm lessons and exercises.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

You got it!

[@RedivivusMusic]

anyone know where to find a video with Uk terminology eg: crochets, minums etc rather than quater notes and that ...?

[@bearfamily2636]

This is fantastic! Was actually just wondering about figuring something like this out 😅

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Awesome!! 😁

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

A simple exercise, that is simply the best video I've seen on strumming. Masterful.

[@jameskozlowski9925]

I enjoy the exercise lessons. I would love to see more.

[@serujuc6209]

Great video, as usual...does it make sense to practice putting accent on 2nd or 3rd in triplet, instead of always 1st note?

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

It sure does! When you feel like it's something you're ready for, go for it!

[@davidmcintyre8064]

More rhythm exercises please!

[@tonyfdesign]

Great videos-always with bonus cool Mac desktop art!

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Thanks! And I’m glad you noticed 😎😂

[@methremohan]

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

I need a little more details on what exactly you’re asking for. Bar chords higher up the fretboard?

[@methremohan]

Bro bar chords on 12 freat on guitar A shape bar chords bro and D shape bar chords

[@loveguitars]

Hey Andrew, I really enjoy your lessons!🔥🎸

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Hey, thanks! 😊

[@BlueMelodyB]

Very good lesson

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Thank you! 😃

[@ChameleonHulk]

Another great lesson. More please 😬

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

You got it!

[@bradynbuttars]

Awesome video! I’ll definitely be using this practice routine 👍

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Sweet! Thanks for watching 😊

[@MichellesGuitarSolos-ih3cl]

Why all down strums. Would be smoother using up and down

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

You should be proficient with both.

[@MichellesGuitarSolos-ih3cl]

@andrewclarkeguitar if you're playing funk guitar, it's definitely up and down strumming

[@MichellesGuitarSolos-ih3cl]

@andrewclarkeguitar there are also rests and ties involved with accents and syncopation

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

@@MichellesGuitarSolos-ih3cl for sure! There’s plenty you can do with the exercise!

[@sanyuktashrestha7753]

can anyone break down what he played at the intro? im new, would love to learn that.

[@peggyriverain]

Wow! Great lesson and knowledge! Thank you for the lesson :)

[@aleksandarfrick2656]

Guitar is my passion , generally rock music , but since i'm lefty i understand decade ago i never be lead guitarist . My wish is to perfect and learn enough to become rhythm player of this magnificent instrument . Have a lot of songs in my head . Thanx Andrew .

[@sk_lxr2920]

just because you play with your left hand doesn't mean you can't play the lead parts. it's the same thing, just mirrored, you just gotta get used to your instrument and practice a lot. it's entirely possible for you to become a lead guitarist, just keep going at it

[@LukasHaydenOfficial]

Greatest guitar players of all time were lefty: Albert King, Jimi Hendrix, Dick Dale, Doyle Bramhall,Eric gales, ect.

[@TaXincluZ]

Alek, being lefty change nothing about being a good lead guitarist or not. I assure you, it change nothing at all… keep up the work you want to achieve!🙂

[@a_makarov]

You can play lead parts even without the right hand, I don’t understand your point

[@ulysseparent2047]

He's saying since he's left handed but practiced to playing with a right handed guitar, he doesn't progress as fast. I get you man, I'm left handed as well but I'm playing on a lefty strat. Keep practicing

[@jrvisions]

Love that intro! Great lesson as well. 😎👍
