HOW TO PLAY BETTER RHYTHM GUITAR

[@mikeopdenaker5573]

Once again,brilliance...where were you when I was younger? I colda been a contender!

[@rustysguitar1]

Hey Mike, you’re right lessons like this would’ve helped us big time back in the day. But we are having fun as old-timers. Also good to hear from you Mike. Thanks.👍

[@teddyspaw]

Love the Brando reference LMAO!

[@Woozy.0]

I coulda been somebody, Mike!

[@peteb5889]

Wow Rusty, you've excelled yourself this time! Before it was Jimmy Page & Eric Clapton, now Jimi Hendrix, Lynyrd Skynyrd & Joe Walsh. Just need Carlos Santana & you've covered all my favourite guitar players! Excellent lesson & explained so thoroughly & yet so easy to understand. I've been looking for lessons like these for the last 50 years! Don't stop - I may turn into a decent player one day! Thanks once again.

[@rustysguitar1]

Yes! Those are our guitar heroes! Definitely more to come! Thanks for checking in👍

[@rogersigman809]

Another great lesson, Rusty! Joe Walsh said he had to invent a "lead/rhythm" style because he was the only melodic instrument. This is the chunk-a-chunk muted sounds between chords. He replaced the original guitarist in the James Gang. They were a 5 piece band, until one day, while traveling by car to Detroit to open for Cream, two members quit. In order to do the gig, Joe had to play AND sing for the first time.

[@rustysguitar1]

I love this story, Roger! I learned something new! Joe Walsh is a big part of rock music, history! I love it! Thanks for checking out the lesson and have a great weekend😎

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Trial by fire. And we all benefited.

[@sandyreece3004]

Great great great! Some days I just sit and play Funk 49 for days remember us women rock too! Thanks

Always liked Hendricks style of playing Good lesson .Thanks

[@rustysguitar1]

I love me some Hendrix Guitar! Thanks for checking out the video Robin✌️

[@davesmith5083]

I’m certainly glad we live in a digital age. I would have burned up the tape hitting rewind on these lessons, like I did with albums and 8 tracks in high school. I play these lessons over and over, I’m getting soooo much valuable info, especially for a beginner like me. A lot of it is a stretch, but it’s good to have goals. This is so awesome, thank you Rusty for all you do!

[@rustysguitar1]

Thanks so much Dave for taking the time to watch my lessons! I definitely wore out the recordings back in the day trying to learn stuff for sure. But most the time I only had a small portion of it right. But the older I get the more I love playing these old classic tunes! Most of these lessons even a beginner will get something to take away. Good to hear from you Dave and have a great weekend.👍

[@peteb5889]

This video has only been up one day & you already have 108 comments. That's some going. Just shows how good your lessons are & how much they are appreciated. Thanks Rusty.

[@rustysguitar1]

I appreciate all your support Pete! Enjoy the rest of your weekend👍

[@cathybroadus4411]

Rusty, here I am. I designed a nightly chord exercise for myself and this is my dessert. 7 days in a week. 7 notes. Scales, chords, and arpeggios, oh my!

[@rustysguitar1]

Hey Cathy, sounds like you are working hard on your guitar playing! That’s exciting. Have a rockin weekend Cathy! Thanks for checking in 👍

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

Well, right out of the gate I love your video, Rusty ~ hard to believe I grew up loving The Monkees & Jimi Hendrix at the same time! LOL This is an excellent lesson for rhythm guitar!!

[@rustysguitar1]

Thanks a lot Karen! I liked the Carpenters and AC/DC. Lots of great music back in the 60s and 70s! Enjoy your weekend Karen ❤️

It’s a lot of work, but I have a lot of fun doing it point. Good to hear from you and I hope you enjoy your weekend. Thanks.👍

[@jeffro.]

You're amazing, Rusty! Thanks for pointing all those licks out! Once you learn 'em, you start hearing 'em everywhere. So, all ya gotta do is learn to play it right, and your guitar playing ability goes skyrocketing. This was an epic lesson, Rusty. You picked some good songs to teach. Between the fretting and the muting.... ...You've got the rockin' bug, dude! 👌 👍 🤪

[@rustysguitar1]

Right on Jeff! These rhythm moves will definitely help make you a better player. I really do appreciate your comment and enjoy your Sunday.🙏

Yet another great lesson. Appreciate your backing off the leed lesson and doing a substantial rhythm lesson, I know that I am far behind your target crowd, as a beginner level player this really helps me on a couple levels. Thank you for sharing your experience knowledge and passion with those of us trying to make music. BEST AND PEACE

Great job Rusty...keeping it clean and simple. I'de rather play less that's clean than fast and cruddy. At 59 and playing since 1979, I beat myself up when I feel I'm overstretching. Clean rhythm combined with melidothic chops in between is where it's at, I think! Thanks again Rusty...rock on fellow "Boomer"

Thanks, Stephen! I am right with you. I really like a clean sound and just playing around the chords. Thanks bro.😎

I will definitely do a rig video soon. But basically I’ve used the same set up for the last year in my videos. Using the Revv G 20 amp set clean and driving it with the Revv tilt overdrive pedal.

Good stuff Rusty! Question, What picks do you use? Your picking is so soft and sounds great with your tones. Thanks!

[@rustysguitar1]

Hey Jeff, I use a standard fender, medium style pick. With a light touch. But I also do a lot of hybrid picking. Plucking up with my first and middle finger. Thanks a lot for checking out the video and let’s talk soon. 🤛

[@FrankRizzo557]

Rusty, one thing important to me is getting the right sound so my ear (and me) pick up things easier. What effect are you using? I kind of got Hendrix dialed in and then it seemed to change for Lynyrd. Thanks.

[@rustysguitar1]

Hey Michael, I was using the same sound for all three songs. I just switch pick ups. I’m using the Revv G 20 amp set clean and driving it with the Revv tilt overdrive pedal. Also some reverb from the Strymon BigSky. On the first tune, I used the neck pick up. And the last two songs I used the bridge pick up. That is my core sound and I can really change it by using different pick ups on my guitar. Thanks for checking out the video.👍
