Fantastic lesson Rusty! This will activate some light bulbs for many of us older beginners. Thanks so much for sharing your insights and wisdom!

[@rustysguitar1]

Thanks a lot, Skippy! We can really connect with these old classic rock tunes! Talk to you soon, buddy👍

[@skippytbk7891]

​@@rustysguitar1I've had a guitar for many years but unfortunately mine didn't come with an instruction manual. Retirement is on the very close horizon for me and committing time to make some progress is at the top of the "me" list. I'm looking forward to using many of your vids on my journey. Thanks again Rusty!!!

[@rustysguitar1]

@skippytbk7891 wow! That’s exciting that you’re going to retire soon. I just retired about one year ago. And let’s keep working on this stuff together, my brother.👍

[@alanjohnston2743]

Great lesson Rusty .Without rhythm there is no music 😊

[@rustysguitar1]

That’s right, Alan! We got to have that rhythm! Thanks a lot and enjoy your weekend👍

[@cathybroadus4411]

This is the encyclopedia right here! If I am ever to learn any elements of rhythm, this is the college course.

[@rustysguitar1]

Oh yes, lots of information in this video! I hope you can get some of these under your belt! Keep rockin Cathy ✌️

[@rogerspalding5673]

Oh man! Thanks for slowing down. I don't know about your other subscribers, but I have difficulty seeing your finger work at your regular speed. You're so talented that a moron like myself gets left way behind. Your hands are so relaxed that shapes get covered over. I simply couldn't discern BRV, ZZT, or DBs. When you slow down, I can play and replay it and replay over and over again until I get it. Thank you again.

[@rustysguitar1]

Thanks a lot for the feedback, Roger! And I’m really glad you got something from this rhythm lesson! Have a great weekend👍

[@user-wp2ej5mn4c]

Your no alone. I've message him about putting tab up he didn't want to. And also better camera. angals. He has good information if you are there yet. All this KZbin video give a wow moment. There's a lot of information overload.

[@TS-Music-57]

Hey Roger, if I may offer a tip: You can always slow down a video via the "Gear" shaped button on KZbin.

[@kevinadams3423]

[@007SEANO]

Hi Rusty, Always a pleasure, I enjoy your rhythm sessions the most because your choice of music really suits me. A trip down memory lane while I practise. Thanks mate.

[@rustysguitar1]

Cool 😎 We like the same classic rock tunes!!! I appreciate the comment! Thank you mate! Cheers 👍

[@rustyl.6358]

Love your choice of songs to teach different rhythms and methods. Learning certain techniques from popular songs builds a foundation of capabilities to play so many other songs, or create songs. A practice routine based on just this lesson will help so many get to the next plateau of playing. Well done!

[@rustysguitar1]

I definitely need to do more practice routine lessons. I really do appreciate the feedback Rusty! Thanks a lot for checking out the video👍

[@SonicGrace]

Oh Yeah , That's what I'm Talkin' about !!!

Almost 100 K ‘ love you my friend ❤. Enjoy your weekend Rusty .❤ I tried to send a tip but my iPad or something is buggy . I’ll make it up . Thanks for all your support and help with your teaching approach. Since I met you ( online ) I’ve been really excited and motivated to get out out intermediate guitar prison. I’m playing about three hours a day. Thanks 😊

[@chesterproudfoot9864]

Slow it down, slow it down, slow it down! It's tempting to try and play up to speed before having the technique down but the speed will come with practice. Good lesson!

[@rustysguitar1]

Right on brother! Thanks a lot for checking out the video✌️

[@js6909]

Great video with super helpful tips for nailing those classic rock rhythm guitar parts! The specific examples and techniques you demonstrated will definitely take my rhythm playing to the next level. Thanks for sharing your top 3 ideas and breaking them down so clearly. Rock on! 🎸

It sounds like you have a great plan Chuck! A metronome is a huge help for rhythm playing. Have a great weekend 👍

I appreciate your free lessons so much, I hope you stay strong with peace and health on your side. For those who believe in god, be a good person, and good you will receive. I personaly I dont believe in dogmas, but what you give , you will receive. I call it destiny, others good carma. Peace and love for all around the world. Thanks Rusty !!!

Rusty any chance you could do a lead lesson for Gimme three steps?

[@rustysguitar1]

There are some great lead parts to that tune, so I will look into that! I appreciate all your support to my channel Glen!!! 👍

[@scoobydoo4087]

Another great lesson. When you play a power chord like C or D up on the third and fifth frets, how do you prevent the low E from ringing out? I can’t use my thumb to mute the low E.

[@rustysguitar1]

Thanks for checking out the lesson Scooby! I use the tip of my first finger and just barely touch the low string. That’s how a lot of players do it. Catch you later, bro.😎

[@scoobydoo4087]

@@rustysguitar1 thanks . That’s gonna take some practice to mute the low E.

[@borgsiam5416]

Can you provide the up and down arrows for each measure?

[@rustysguitar1]

The best way to learn these techniques is to use a metronome and slow it down! Thanks for checking out the video👍

Why do so many guitarists balk at counting, especially when playing with others and you need to get that basic groove bang on....?..I think they think they are past counting...

[@rustysguitar1]

Many guitarists, including myself learned rhythm by feel. Most of our Guitar heroes do not count the up-and-down motion. Thanks for checking out the lesson.👍
