The Science Of Rhythm Guitar, Chapter 1-Technique

[@steftechniquetechnique6454]

Hello. "Thank you" can't reflect the gratitude for sharing this piece of history for guitar players. Make a new one, with up to date quality, and all this years crafting your art, we'll all buy it. Rhythm is everything. God bless you Paul Jackson Jr.

[@thesphericalguy9018]

I agreed with everything contained in this post.

[@pauljacksonjr.9694]

Working on the new concept right now. Thanks for the shout out. Lord bless you.

[@pauljacksonjr.9694]

Will do. Thanks for the great feedback. Lord bless you.

[@carloscerda11]

Please I would buy in a heart beat !

[@thetruthchannel349]

Mr. Jackson is in the top 5 studio players ever. Absolutely impeccable.

[@iwillnevergetone5]

this lesson is gold! I loved the skit in the beginning. Would actually watch a full episode as a snapshot of that era! cheers, Paul !

[@bjrnespeseth8515]

wow, dude came in on a motorcycle pointing at the camera. Probably the sickest intro to a technique video i've ever seen O.o

[@goodjujusound7906]

🤷‍♂️ he's the man

[@dennis_johnson]

Oh my GOD ! I watched that other short clip on KZbin so many times. Can't wait for the rest. Thank you so much!!!

[@batesbytheblood487]

Thank you for posting this because it wasn't here before, never take that for granted

[@JeromyBranch]

Mr. Jackson very nicely done. I've always preferred to play rhythm. Through the many years I've gotten a lot of compliments on my playing, especially when the lead player feels free to play only lead. When I was young I thought that people were mistaking me for the lead player. But now I know people really do appreciate a solid foundation with the bass drums and guitar. I love your guitar in this video. I have a 78 wine Standard Les Paul. And my wife just bought me a brand new American Telecaster Special! Can't put it down man! Lotsa love from one old guy to another.

[@jaymemonsanto]

Thanks for sharing this Paul!!! Cheers from Brazil

[@ToddRock16]

3 AHA! moments watching Paul Jackson here. 🥁Long time Drummer learning guitar on my own until I get my drums back. Lotta good teachers on KZbin but.. I wish I'd seen Paul Jacksons videos a long time ago. ( George Duke endorsement? I'm in.) Mr. Jacksons lesson is the key to me getting to the next level. Thank you🥇

[@JoeCarnaggio]

Paul, your contribution to the Collaboration album was spectacular

[@JackKad]

Holy... G. Duke on intro, how good to learn groovy techniques😂

[@darrylwhitesall5847]

Excellent stuff right here! Thank you, Paul for sharing your years of experience.

[@andrewpearson1903]

Never heard of the hand-buster exercise, should be very helpful for my left pinky which is the weakest of my fretting fingers. Also, for those looking for the right pick, I've discovered that mandolin picks (and to some extent the round edge of a teardrop pick) give me a much rounder sound on the acoustic guitar (I have a very bright & shiny attack) and allow me to tremolo-pick more easily on both electric and acoustic strings. Lord bless you real good too, Mr. Jackson.

[@MinisterCrowley]

Thanks for sharing awesome.

[@gorami]

Thank you so much, you make it fun to play rhythm and I love the vibe of the video

[@astiandprema3594]

Your guitar playing is very beautiful, your playing style is very engaging, it seems very easy, but not everyone else might be able to do it.

[@GreatWaterCircus]

Wow very cool ... thank you

[@dreamingpanthers1847]

I am so glad to find this Paul, definitely subscribed. Your catalog of recorded rhythm work is legendary sir. Thank you so much for sharing this time capsule. It's never old information, it's ALWAY key to know how to hold down a rhythm part. Peace

[@oscaroscar7904]

Great lesson

[@24MusicCarats]

Dear Paul I’d love to learn from you basics of rhythm guitar if you ever happen to be in CA truly a blessing

[@lanmarknetworking3034]

I dont play but this was just a very compelling individual with how serious he was but also warm.

[@dougnice67]

well this is GOLD

[@joecaner]

An ES-Les Paul with P-90 pickups. Sweet!

[@rodleaverton]

So glad you posted these. I still have my DVD! :-)

[@redrockballa]

thank you for this💯💯💯💯

[@mikeault]

Awesome exercises and tips, thank you Paul!!

[@jbaby007]

Thank you for this goldmine of information!

[@ericheine2414]

The trick to playing guitar well is to buy your guitars tuned and buy a lot of them. Remember the strings go on the outside. Start with a yellow one then work your way up to blue and red and maybe a sunburst.

[@daviddelossantos6075]

I LOVE this.

[@kevinberthoud9347]

Thank you Mr Jackson. Very practical & useful information. Tried it and realized results quickly. Love your playing. Compared to me (yep I was wearing members only jackets, balloon pants and hi top fades ... had more hair then) ... your style seems more sophisticated kinda like your playing ... funky and always in good taste

[@guitarstringman7403]

I've always been a big fan of rhythm guitar, comp chords, etc. The proper chords with the proper song will always bring out a solo and make the solo sound better.

[@Sankara561]

This is great, thanks for upload

[@py1863]

Hey Paul - Gardena Mohican 77 grad shout out to you!

[@benllalarios6225]

Gran master suludos desde Guatemala creci con su tecniga y es una gran bendicion tocar igual que usted master

[@sonsauvage]

solid, tasteful, rhythm parts that are interesting harmonically and rhythmically will always be more difficult to pull of convincingly than a melodic line imo

[@DsHands2Serve]

Thank you very much Sir!

[@maduroholdings]

Hallelujah I bought the vhs years ago could never find it again I was getting so much better from taking the chord apart

[@pedrojosepalma3510]

Yes!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@filiphosko]

Thanks a lot for the upload!

[@calebriley7466]

Rhythm is my favorite word:)

[@EVEROSFP1]

Really great lesson!

[@gustavoschick356]

Thank you so much!!!

[@ChuckSilva]

Awesome❤

[@FRANZARIAS]

Thanks master!!!

[@TruthSurge]

8:40 AH AH AHHHHH! You didn't use your METRONOME!!!!!! You said ALWAYS use it!!!!!

[@ZapataConcert]

Master, como puedo conseguir los PDF de estos ejercicios, el de escalas está genial. Aun no logro descifrar como se mueve

[@flylippfantom8425]

It took some practice to rid myself of the flying pinky

[@ioakimful]

😎🙏

[@henrycesaire3212]

Anyone knows where I can buy the DVD?

[@CursedInEternity92]

what song starts at 00:20 ? thats a mean wriff

[@OdaKa]

"we're gonna take it slower" he says

[@jacknoname9726]

How do my fongers not move like that? Not even close.

[@JamesLawson-kd5bl]

I'll be trying to play I've been making sensational Nightingales Darker Snipes and I'm in trying to Play guitar for a long time practice all my life and I had an advance to The level that I wanna be on I'm stuck Help me move a power Jackson

[@JamesLawson-kd5bl]

God he's fast

[@MiloMusx]

I love youtube

[@Port712]

す・・・・ご・・・い・・・

[@justnoone498]

Slow folks.. 😂😂😂 thats me.

[@TheMidnightModder]

Rhythm is so much more important than lead playing. You can play a solo with 7/8th rhythm and it will sound exponentially better than a solo that is 7/8ths lead. Without rhythm, lead is just noodling.

[@normalizedaudio2481]

Cory Wong is "band leader." He is Rhy.

[@thedonbishop55]

Hi Paul. I don’t know if you still update this channel but you’re a true hero to me. You’ve played on so many classic records and you’re the reason I picked up a guitar many years ago. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@seanmetal4138]

This has to be the single best rhythm guitar video I've ever seen on KZbin. I've watched MANY different tutorials from many prominent KZbinrs and many obscure ones, and this one singlehandedly tops them all. It's straight to the point w/ no BS, and is practical while being fun at the same time. I thank you sir.

[@gingataff]

I have a hard rock background and studied some jazz, and I'm really looking forward to this course. Thanks Paul, for uploading!

[@ClémentCeni]

Thank you for this Paul, i'm a young guitar player who's hungry of you're knowledge

[@BurninSven1]

Also you should practice your scales without your left hand thumb involved just your fingers. The thumb completely released will teach you how little force you actually have to use and how relaxed your hand should be while playing

[@jemsar2]

Simple technique being taught here can't be overlooked. Paul is simply THE BEST at all he does. Totally awesome.

[@lanozalgrooveaudiosistemas9739]

Fantastic beggining with the two cues of soloists and rythm guitarrists. I adore Paul's technic. A real SOLID support for the rest of the band. Not just random notes disconected.

[@-dash]

ahahah George Duke at the beginning. What a legend

[@ivanmay7890]

I have loved and followed Paul Jackson Jr. As a guitarist for decades. He is capable of playing basically any genre and making it sound so simple.

[@Shima33BB]

My god, I've been wanting to watch this for so long! Thank you so much!

[@juancpgo]

same here!! Once in a while, for YEARS, I google "Science of Rhythm Guitar". Today I did it again and here I am. Excited to finally be able to watch this.

[@sandrosadhukhan]

Does anyone have the full dvd?

[@SeanRosati]

Used to have this on DVD, now in storage. Thx for posting!! 🙏

[@WolfRun59]

GHS Mohicans in THE HOUSE! Sat near you in Mr. Edwards’ music theory class. I never had a clue how good you were. You were just a humble and polite guy. I wish I could have taken lessons from you back then. A few years after graduation, I saw your name on the credits for just about every major record. Went to see your band at Hop Sing’s in Marina Del Rey and backstage, Rit and other jazz greats were hanging out. So happy for you my brother.

[@glenmorebarchan]

amazing

[@keyboardfreedomfighter5734]

Wow.....I actually thought this was a bettlejuice video by the thumbnail and I was thinkin “ain’t no way he’s playing a guitar”😅

[@johngsteel]

Awesome! As a bass musician, technique is critical for all string instruments .

[@LfunkeyA]

any instrument

[@artysanmobile]

Every guitarist knows rhythm is the hard stuff. Interestingly, Jimi was a spectacularly good rhythm guitarist. The Experience’s groove was Jimi’s, not Mitch’s. No point even mentioning Noel.

[@loamguitar]

Bought your DVD when I first started playing, so glad to be able to revisit it now

[@errorsofnovember6068]

it was always the low quality vids🙏🏼🔥

[@hhattingh]

Sometimes, just sometimes YT algorithm gets it right. Absolute gold! Wish there were Tabs or something to look at, for the rest of us beginners

[@ntavarez0403]

Thank you Mr. Jackson for sharing this useful and important tutorial with all guitarists, I really appreciate it. Regards from New York City.

[@Burn269]

Rhythm is Lead

[@jeffreycarter6821]

Thanks for sharing your wisdom! Witnessed Paul's greatness firsthand at Jazz Alley in Seattle last week. Amazing show with Jazz Funk Soul! Sweetest rhythm playing and solo lines! What a groove!!

[@henr1566]

Thank you for nice videos, words can't express my gratitude actually!

[@augustusbetucius2931]

Thanks for posting The Science of Rhythm Guitar series. I was told to get and watch this video years ago when I was studying music. The private instructor I had, who was a studio player himself, recommended this video highly. For reasons too dumb to go into, I was unable to get my hands on it. I was reminded years later, and by then, guitar DVDs were fading and being replaced by KZbin, TrueFire and such. So I figured I'd blown it and my chance to ever see this was passed. This came up as a suggested video by the KZbin algorithms, and I immediately jumped on it. I've subscribed and saved these. Looking forward to working my way through these. Thank you very much PJJr!

[@VLKV_loves_you]

dang, he gave that A-string to tune and the sustain lasted forever. also had an awesome squashed compression sound i think maybe from the voice mic

[@arenmoore2516]

Paul Jackson Jr in three words: Paul Jackson Junior

[@danielwagnerrangel6712]

Thank you so much Paul. Absolutely fantastic stuff. Greetings from England and may God bless your life.

[@ChezzOnBass]

Always always always practice with a metronome- I’d side with Jeff Berlin here and say I disagree. It has its place but “always” is not the best, either, unless you just want to be a machine.

[@Guitarwizza1]

Ha!😂 I been looking for the rest of this for decades! I tried to order this from your website years ago. Thanks for the for the post. I been a big admirer of all of your work on classic albums. I could tell within seconds…🤔 That’s Paul Jackson Jr. I had a chance to meet you through Chris Payton at NAMM about 5 years ago I believe. Couldn’t make I was with a group bass players and drummers. 😂GOD SPEED.

[@bodichair]

I've always said how important it is to be a good, solid rhythm guitarist. Everyone wants to be the star of the show. "Lead Guitarist" Many players can not do rhythm for several reasons. -Thank you for posting this video.

[@thomjz]

My favorite guitar 🎸 player

[@hadleymanmusic]

Man thankyou. I break thin picks and I drop heavy picks

[@WillsJazzLoft]

I LOVE learning to play and playing rhythm. I'm surprised that you like heavy picks. I have some. Yet as a beginner for the moment I'm comfortable with medium to light

[@francatalano5360]

2:51 sustaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain

[@frostedhead]

Paul Jackson Jr. guitar was probably the precursor to chambered guitar bodies?

[@michaelmascarenias1519]

in the thumbnail i thought Beetle juice was playing guitar ,,,forgive me folks🫠

[@jacoblarrinaga4910]

Cant believe he forgot to use the metronome in that last exercise

[@Noairman57]

Good topics but he doesn't let you see where he is placing his fingers. He's moving to fast to see where he places his fingers.

[@paulkillion7511]

Nice video but it seemed most of the exorcizes I would attribute to lead playing.

The Science Of Rhythm Guitar, Chapter 1-Technique

[@matksful]

If it weren't for some obvious visual qualities, I'd say that this is a 2021 course. The way the lessons are approached feels so fresh.

[@garethde-witt6433]

There’s no science to it😡 it’s feel, which 98% of music today lacks.
