There isn’t enough of these lessons out there imo. Great lesson. I’ve played guitar for 25 years now and it sadly took me at least 17 of those years to realize how much more time I should have spent on rhythm playing instead of going straight to lead after a year of playing. I was looking for advanced blues rhythm guitar and found this, there really isn’t a ton out there. Thanks for the lesson brother

Great lesson!!!!! Many years ago I was trying to impress my guitar hero and mentor Tonk Edwards (played with many jazz greats in the 60s/70s) with my soloing. Of course I was overplaying and probably sounded horrible anyway. When i was done, he looked at me and said “Michael, nobody gives a shit if you can solo” It took me many years to understand what he was saying but man was he right! I needed to learn the role and responsibility of a guitarist.

Hi Jamey, another great lesson! I am starting to focus on improving my blues rhythm guitar skills as I agree it's a very essential skill that I need to build. You have some great examples of what seem to be familiar rhythms I have heard before. It's one thing to learn a list of these rhythms but will be forgotten if not practically used regularly. Are you able to provide some names of songs that are based on these rhythms so we can build the songs as part of our repertoire?

Really good stuff! Perfect for the sounds I'm trying to learn. For the Example 3 turnaround, right after the E7#9 "Jimi Hendrix" chord, I throw in the same F# - A figure, and the resulting large minor 9 interval (G - F# - A) is very pleasing to the ear. Makes me, like, sound like I actually know what I'm doing. So friggin' bluesy... I can't even.

At a fairly young age I learned that rhythm was the real grail of guitar. Who was my mentor? Jimi Hendrix, one of the all time greats of rhythm guitar. The drums, if they could follow his time, would swing so hard, one could forget they were basically listening to two players. To this day, my band is guitar, drums, and singer, allowing the space for a deadly groove.

Hendrix was definitely an incredible rhythm player, and did it all while singing!
@artysanmobile3 ай бұрын
@@JameyArent Still Raining, Still Dreaming is just the deepest groove imaginable. THAT is what I worked on for years and years, how to feel that better than any drummer could. I don’t need to challenge Jimi’s soloing. I mean, why bother? I do my own thing. But meter? Meter and me go way back. I’ve been working as a producer since the early 80s, and my meter serves me very well in that work. I know I’m making my artist’s records better by feeling problems before they get recorded.

Really like this lesson. Question: Would it be best to explain the Cdim as really a Cdim7? There is no flat 5, i.e., Gb in the chord.
@JameyArent6 ай бұрын
Thank you! Great question! Yes it’s definitely going to be called a Cdim7, I just omitted the 5th from this chord as well as most of the others in the sequence. I could play the chord with the b5th if I wanted to, but because this example is made up of only three note chords, something’s gotta go, and usually that note is the 5th. The 3rd and 7th provide a lot more harmonic information to the progression.

Great lesson! Just one question: how did you know you were playing in time to the backing track in example one (at about 1.53 minutes) without counting? I can do this along to a shuffle backing track but I really don't know if I'm hitting the 'and' of two or not. I might just be hitting the three for all I can tell
@m.vonhollen66735 ай бұрын
Do this: tap your foot slowly going 1-2-3-4; now clap your hands on the downbeat of 1 and also right after the 2 and just before the 3. - Now change your count to 1&-2&-3&-4&, placing those “and’s” right when your leg is up and before the downbeat. - Learn to play drums or a drum of some kind so that your rhythm gets developed.

Thanks! It’s a limited run ES-335 that Gibson did in ‘99-00 with black binding and a few other unusual features. I did a full rundown video of it (2000 Gibson ES-335 Limited Edition DEMO kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWfLaImretWNd6M) The amp is actually a plug-in I’m running through my DAW. It’s Neural DSP’s new Morgan Amp Suite which is designed to sound like three of Morgan’s most popular amps. I use the SW50 sound for most of the video, though I switch to the AC20 for the playing example of example 4. It’s great for recording!
