How To Be A GREAT Rhythm Guitar Player

Today we will learn how to be a great rhythm guitar player by looking at these iconic rhythm guitar riffs from some great guitar players!!! Being a better rhythm guitar player means you will be a better lead guitar player also. Looking at strumming, muting, triads and hammer ons and pull offs of those triad shapes. Using triad shapes in our rhythm guitar playing will open a whole new world in our guitar journey!

[@champabay7249]

My advice for any guitar player is to spend a month or two learning your favorite disco and funk songs and you will never struggle with difficult rhythms again

[@rustysguitar1]

That’s one way to do it 😲

[@legendaryTMNICO]

I used to take guitar lessons and chord books lead guitar books don’t really keep you motivated to keep practicing more.

[@ricomajestic]

Funk guitar and trash metal for a right hand workout and Jazz and Latin music for left hand. Should be able to play almost anything. Throw in some Hendrix and Van Halen too!

[@aaronlloyd6905]

Using a metronome is a must and also learning to count what you’re playing.

[@CallousCoder]

And add some Reggae and SKA because that plays on the back beat and that can be quite tricky if you always played on the down beat

[@ronpatterson6420]

This has to be the best rhythm guitar lesson ive seen on YT yet, BRAVO 👏!!

[@rustysguitar1]

Thanks so much, Ron! I really do appreciate that! Talk to you soon buddy👍

[@peteb5889]

Wow! So much in such a short lesson. ! Great demonstration of the different rhythms. I haven't managed to master any of them yet, but will persevere. This could do with 3 separate lessons. Thanks so much.

[@rustysguitar1]

You’re totally right! This is a lot of info in one lesson. Just trying to get players to get that hammer on and pull off movement with the rhythm. I really do appreciate your comment and thanks so much for checking out the video Pete.👍

[@tracerammo]

It took years for me to understand that the bass and rhythm are so important to a song as a whole and to the sound of the lead. A solo is a flourish, rhythm is the song!

[@rustysguitar1]

Yes! So so important! Thanks so much for checking out the video👍

[@paulmundy8312]

What a brilliant lesson. Been playing a lot of years & been in cover bands (as a rhythm guitarist) but have recently lost my love of playing...this lesson just reignited the fire....thankyou

[@rustysguitar1]

I’m excited to hear that Paul! We all have our ups and downs with this instrument we have been blessed with. It sounds like we are both now in the excited stage of playing!!!😎 Let’s keep rocking and have a great rest of your weekend✌️

[@bflatbluesband3202]

Just curious - why did you lose interest as a rhythm guitar player already probably playing songs similar as the ones demonstrated ?

[@mikeandrulonis6553]

As guitarists we probably spend 75%-80% of our time playing so a lesson like this is so important but often overlooked. Thanks for this video it was a great lesson. Love the Doobie Bros.

[@rustysguitar1]

Your comment is much appreciated Mike! Thanks for watching the lesson and have a great weekend 👍

[@ThefrenchFranz]

I got hooked by the "Another brick in the wall" part 🙂. Time to practice now! Thanks Rusty, it's so easy to be boring at rythm guitar.

[@wandajames143]

As a guitarist I must say I play more than 75-80% playing 😂

[@doubled5383]

Embellished rhythm guitar is just the best, throw in some riffs every once in a while.

[@durango.j-onez]

Wow, howwwww did I have "listen to the music" in my head as i read the title before i clicked the video Crazy

I would say this is the best tutorial I have ever seen, I've been around for a while so it's a huge compliment.

[@rustysguitar1]

I appreciate the kind message Paul means a lot! Thank you my brother. Keep rockin 😎

[@danarcotta1283]

Lukather said that he played more rhythm guitar than lead on a lot of records. I've played with so many guitarists who don't have a clue about how to play rhythm guitar. I can't count the times that I've had to revert back to rhythm because the rhythm guitar player couldn't pull it off when I'd start to play lead. Needless to say, I left those guys behind long ago😊

[@rustysguitar1]

Well said! I am definitely going to do more rhythm lessons on my channel. Thanks a lot for checking out the video. Talk to you soon.👍

[@buska100]

Excellent Lesson on such an important part of Guitar playing. Cheers

[@rustysguitar1]

Thank you! Rhythm is so overlooked! I appreciate your comment! Talk to you soon👍

[@t3golf]

I’ve been playing guitar for a long time, & I already know everything in this lesson. BUT, I’m glad I found it. It’s so good to be reminded about things that make you a rock solid band member and ask yourself, “Am I still doing these things? Have I stopped doing things like this? If I have, why have I?” Great lesson.

[@theofficialdiamondlou2418]

Thank you for the comment! I am the same way. If I don’t continually work on things, they kind of fade away. Thanks again and have a great week.👍

[@rustysguitar1]

You’re welcome CD! This is some great feedback! There’s a lot of great teachers, so that means a lot. Have a great weekend.👍

[@jamesahassett]

You’re the real deal Rusty. Your delivery, technique pointers, and excellent graphics are the best on YT. I especially appreciate the graphics indicating the name of the chord and finger placement - it helps me better understand the fretboard AND I can see exactly what the fingering is. Given hand sizes & quirky ways guitarists can finger chords, etc. it can be challenging to see how other teachers are playing the chords - your graphics make it a breeze. Keep up the excellence, Rusty, you are making a profound impact on a whole generation of guitarists (and beyond)!

[@gopilotmusic]

One of my biggest blind spots on guitar has been not learning other's songs/pieces, I really enjoy making my own stuff when the guitar is in my hands. I could learn so much, I know, and it's dumb not to check other's work, ...so I really appreciate the breakdown of several tunes in one video. And the incomparable humble style. Another great one Rusty! Thank you for it.

[@JunkYour925]

Having gotten something out of this is an understatement Rusty. I got a ton out of this. Mostly how to connect (match) the scale shape to the current chord shape. Keep up the great work educating us on real guitar playing. Love the Gilmour stuff, always have ever since I was 17 and wasn’t yet playing. I loved those chord tones and triads. You and I play rhythm alike.

[@rustysguitar1]

I’m really glad to hear that! It’s exciting making new connections on the fretboard! Thanks so much for all your support and I hope you have a great week ahead🙏

[@rustysguitar1]

[@supernothing77]

I feel your pain. I got this book years ago by David Mead( I think) on rhythm and counting. Make sure you have something to slow stuff down. Look up tab with audio of any parts interesting rhythmically

[@tompoynton]

It’s such an understated (and often under appreciated!) skill

[@alv1174]

I think that rhythm is just a feeling. When I first started, I never understood rhythm and never thought that I would get it. However, over time and as you listen and play music my hand started to follow the music as well. It's like when you sway you body or head to a song. I am not great at guitar but I feel it now.

[@Charlee_Murphee]

It was hard for me as a beginner many decades ago, but a friend showed me a trick of practicing the right hand percussive strumming while just sitting around watching tv with the guitar unplugged. You don’t even have to be playing anything. Just mute the strings with your with your fretting hand and practice with the right hand. Learning to palm mute is very important also. Then work on left hand muting.

[@rafa_guitar]

WOWWW Rusty! I really loved this lesson! This kind of lesson lets us improve as rhythming guitar players, sounding much more real and grooving. What lucky we are to have you as our teacher! Keep on rockin bro!

[@chucklutter7399]

Love the sound you get, i have no ambition for getting there as i don't care to play through an amp. Rhythm on the other hand is my ultimate major goal.

I can go away from my computer for hours Rusty only to return sometimes with a dozen notifications of new episodes or lessons from various YT sites. One guess which one I always open first!! Always consistently great and varied on Rusty's Guitar! Again, either by accident or on purpose........I love the format of delivering us the new backing track to your soloing lessons that allow us to interpret our very own solos first........even a solid day ahead of your completed solo lesson. This gives us ample time to get creative and improvise then compare your own nice interpretation and add/subtract but really retain the musical information so much better. At least this works for me but I hope others agree as well! Your Texas friend, Jim C.
