Unleash the Magic of Rhythm Guitar
Ready to unlock the secrets of rhythm guitar that hardly anyone talks about?
Curious how the pros can take the same old chord progression we all play but somehow make it sound so much better?
Or what if you are in a band with another guitarist?
How do you come up with unique parts that work together to make a typical song sound great?
Dive into Foundations of Rhythm | Nashville Sessions and discover why rhythm should be the cornerstone of your guitar journey.
Remember those iconic tracks that made you pick up a guitar in the first place? Whether it was the driving force of a rock anthem or the subtle groove of a classic hit, rhythm guitar was a huge part of those songs and what made that music unforgettable. To truly be great on guitar rhythm is everything!
What You’ll Learn:
The course is separated in two parts. First, we will kick it off by hammering down the essentials. Classic tried and true techniques that build the foundation of great rhythm playing. From muting and right-hand feel, exploring different time signatures, adding embellishments to common chords, how to use scales and triads to create hooks and catchy rhythm tracks, and much much more.
The second half is all about how create accompanying guitar parts like all the iconic two guitar player bands of the past. From Petty to The Stones, Judas Priest to Guns’n’ Roses, Pearl Jam to Metallica the art of the two guitar player bands is a topic that is rarely talked about in the guitar instruction world. That is about to change!
Meet the Masters
Nashville is definitely a two-guitar player town. Whether it is dual electrics or acoustic and electric, crafting guitar parts that work together is a massively in-demand skill!
To help us on our journey, I have brought in two of the most sought-after Nashville session guitarists. These will be your guides to make sure you have all the tools you need to make your rhythm playing top-notch!

Rhythm guitar really is the secret sauce. Rhythm playing made my phrasing in solos so much better.

[@BrettPapa]

For sure!

[@NickJardine]

You cannot be a good lead player until you are a good rhythm player !

[@satchrules101]

@@BrettPapa Dude you are a killer rhythm player , God sent to me ! I’ve always struggled with knowing where I am in the Measure or how many bars I played .. or when there is like 4 bars of palm muting in eighth notes , i’m not sure what bar I’m on .example when you were playing that rhythm at 14:52 had a hard time playing along with you counting eighthNotes with the open strings. definitely going to get ur course!

[@Jarl_egbert]

Exactly what i was looking for. Thank you.

[@michaelgroom7060]

[@jameslugo]

Brett this is one of the best guitar playing video I’ve ever seen. Honestly, there’s always a little sadness in heart when I watch your video cuz you remind me so much of my brother that passed away. And you play rhythm exactly the same way he did and the way he taught me. Keep it up man.

[@BrettPapa]

Sorry to hear that man! Glad to hear you like the videos though! Thanks for checking them out!

[@jameslugo]

@@BrettPapa yeah man. I’d love to check out the /13 amps. I’m in East Nashville.

[@BrettPapa]

For sure!

To your point , I'd reckon Ted Nugent Nailed it during a GP interview many years ago when he said you don't walk into a music store and say "Hey , let me try out that Rhythm Guitar up on the rack . And after that I want to check out the Lead Guitar behind the counter"

[@BrettPapa]

Lol

Rhythm is a dancer!

[@BrettPapa]

Yup!

Brett Never disappoints! I purchased this lesson and have been pounding on it all morning! Just what the Doctor Ordered!Thanks

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Thanks so much for the support!

[@TomCPlus1]

All right man, I got your Foundations of Rhythm Course. Looking forward to absorbing it! Part of my purchase motivation is that you included Ostrander in the instruction. And I hope you're gonna profit from the "piano keyboard on the B string" trick. 😎😎🎸🎸

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks so much for the support! Justin has an entire course of his own coming out soon so this will be perfect warm up for ya.

[@patrickdelombre5075]

Brett. The Nashville Rhythm course is awesome. Trying to write my own songs and this really help me see how to put down the foundation with drums and two guitars. Would have loved to have a bass player part of your session as well. Pls add this next time and adding your thoughts about the singing melody - basically the core of a guitar based band 😊.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks so much! Yes that is the next type of courses I will be doing. Full band sessions. Coming soon!

[@patrickdelombre5075]

@@BrettPapa Absolutely fantastic - there is no one doing this in a good way (that I know of) and it will add tremendous value to so many songwriters around the world!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome!

[@mikeanderson1316]

I learned to play guitar through Brett Poppa lessons about eight years ago. Basically, some of the best on the Internet, not some.But the best on the Internet. go to his website. I’ve been a member ever since Brett started his memberships. plus I buy the lessons you can’t lose. It’s a win-win with Brett Papa.

[@neenerheaddj]

I have this exact guitar. Magenta Sparkle gang! ❤😊

[@BrettPapa]

So good!

[@stevec9972]

Trying to play along with drums alone exposes my timing weakness. Got some work to do

[@BrettPapa]

We all do! Great thing is is that it is super fun to practice to drum grooves and if you keep it up your rhythm playing will drastically improve.

[@bradwilburnmusic]

Rock Candy

[@timculp]

That's what popped in my head also.

[@BrettPapa]

Haha didn't think about that.

[@jodyinalaska1]

Great lesson Brett! I am starting into the course now. What is the program you are using for the drum tracks in this lesson? Thank you.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks so much! In the actual rhythm course I use all real musicians but in this video I use EZ Drummer 3.

[@jodyinalaska1]

@@BrettPapa awesome. I’ve been looking for a good drum program to practice with. This sounds great. I’ll check it out. Thanks

[@davidsalinas4872]

I love ez drummer 3, i was using addive drums 2. Ez drummer does so much more

[@BrettPapa]

It's amazing!

[@DreaNEO]

Brett you are a gem...been watching you for a few years (actually met you a couple times: Sweetwater and Uncle Larry's B-day Show), but I have been watching you a lot more the past several months, always such good information to help us all be better musicians. You are a helluva knowledgeable and killer player...no doubt about that. Thank you for being generous with your time.

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

Well said bru !👍🏻💪🏻

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks so much! Glad you like the vids! Thanks for hanging around all these years and introducing yourself!

[@SILVERPYGMEES]

great vid

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks!

[@maxprizm]

Nice lesson! F isn't diatonic in the key of G, it can work very well though, particularly in southern rock. ☺ Rhythm is king.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Yeah you are right but it is way more common in music to use that rather than the traditional 7 chord. For sure on Southern rock as well as many other styles of music.

[@guitmeister]

Been doing that all my life, some people (drummers) can't play outside the box, wing it, or play (try to) what they don't know well, makes for a SHORT Jam Night!

[@BrettPapa]

Haha well some people just enjoy playing what they know and that's all good as well.

[@vomito72]

this lesson is really cool and important , the rhythm in my opinion is everything , it's the base how brilliant is it ez drummer? Bro check it out to the singular sound beatbuddy drummer pedal , I really like it and it's the only pedal I kept since years ago. it's a drum pedal , you can do variations and transitions with your foot ...it's bloody great when you have to play alone and probably it is for some live solo sessions and for buskers f***** great pedal to have

[@BrettPapa]

Sounds awesome!

[@okiebumper8132]

Love your guitar , I just ordered one 😊

[@BrettPapa]

That’s awesome! You will love it!

[@okiebumper8132]

I was on the fence until I saw you playing it and it sounded amazing. Just received it. You are right totally incredible. This guitar will be one of my go to favorites.

[@Ben-Ken]

Another great lesson! Let me know when you're ready for my address so you can ship that sweet purple tele post haste!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Lol!

[@gwhitedaking]

I really need some tips on amp and pedal settings. Your tone is great. Not just on this video.

[@BrettPapa]

I’m pretty basic with my setup. Most of the time I plug straight into the amp with everything set between 4-6 except bass which is usually around 3.

[@cacophonic7]

Wish I had some kind of pocket after 30 trs still not found it so there might be no point in raking the course..😂

Nah everyone can get there. Sometimes it just takes a different approach. You don’t need to be a world class player to have fun!

[@RobStrings]

So about that Plex review…..

Coming soon! I have been messing with it this week to get ready for it. It is AMAZING!!!
