@Journey-of-1000-Miles 14 дней назад

I began playing approximately 1980. The general thought was that if you couldn’t shred then you couldn’t play. Instead of becoming disheartened, I studied Malcolm Young from AC/DC. While other guitar players were trying to learn the crazy train solo and eruption, I was learning to hammer out highway to hell and Back In Black. I do not have to make people Awestruc with technique, because I can give them shivers! There is no music without rhythm and dynamics.

@philb4462 7 дней назад

One of the hardest things about learning rhythm guitar is the lack of resources out there. This is one of the very few videos I have seen about it. Virtually everything is geared towards soloing even though most guitarists will not even spend 10% of their time in a band doing that.

@5BBassist4Christ 10 дней назад

As a bass player, your last point felt like some welcome acknowledgement. I would say, however, that most of the time in a band circumstances, I would prefer a guitarist/pianist avoid doing bass, as that is my entire job, and if I have a different interpretation of the bass from the guitarist/pianist, then it will just get muddy. Unless those bass lines are communicated and rehearsed so that they sync up well, -in which case it can really open up and sound nice. Also, when it is just an acoustic/piano playing, a good understanding of bass lines is always a pleasant thing to listen to, and I will be impressed when they do express that understanding. So I'm not saying it's wrong or I dislike guitarists who do it. Rather, like anything in music, the ability to do it is always respectable, but the knowledge of when not to do it is key.

@enteecee. День назад

I think Sammy was using the low strings to connect to the >idea< of how bass players think, not what they're playing. What he actually said was for guitarists to think of linking notes and chords in the same way that bassists do, which could happen anywhere on the neck. The point, as I took it, is to get out of thinking about dancing around on one chord, then the next, then another, ad infinitum - as so many lead players do. But instead to concentrate on the otherwise invisible bridges that get you from one to the other, as bassists so often must because they're expected to hold things down. In this way even the most high-flying leads can also be holding the song pinned tightly to itself instead of roaming away. And no need to edge in on the bassists' job or sonic realm to do so.

Look at how much Guns n Roses changed without Izzy Stradlin. Yes, Slash is the Icon. They continued to make great music. But there isn't another Appetite for Destruction. Rhythm guitar is overlooked.

@jimbrennan1181 14 дней назад

It's interesting to me that you're thinking about how hard you hit the strings and where you're hitting them etcetera because I do the opposite and just let my unconscious brain do that. I'm thinking about how it sounds and where it's going. For me, if I focus on anything other than what I'm hearing it's like batting in baseball or teeing off in golf. If you think about your stance it distracts your subconscious brain. As soon as I think about the rythym and what my right arm is doing I lose it. In hindsight, however, I spent a whole lot of time screwing around trying to learn what playing different areas on the strings does, as well as how you hold the pick, and other things. Once you've go those things in your brain you can let it just take over. Great lesson! Thanks!

@samuraiguitarist 14 дней назад

This is a great point to bring up, to expand on the golf analogy, when you play golf you do as little thinking as possible, the same should be true when making music. However when you are on the driving range (or in the practice room) this is when you want to be thinking about this stuff. You practice and think about things like the right hand so that when you do turn your brain off it all happens naturally. Cheers!

I've been to so many live shows where I can tell a guitarist thinks he's killing it in his head because his tone - when played all by itself - is soooo daaang cronchy. But once the whole band is in the mix, what the audience is hearing is essentially static.

Been playing bass and rhythm guitar professionally for about 30 years. What's worked for me to keep great sense of toning, is to divide the beat into 8ths in my head. I developed the feeling of an internal metronome clicking twice as fast as the beat, allowing me to phrase better and land on time.

@2:36 - Funny you should bring that up. I played part time with a beach band and I had told the other guitarist. "You play the lower chord inversion and I play the upper. He said I wanna play the upper. Okay, I'll play the lower. AFTER THE FIRST SONG REHEARSAL..He wanted to play the lower. Finally he said let both of us play the same chord . The one thing he didn't realizes was ,That I was a more advanced player than he was. So it didn't matter what chording position I played, it was gonna sound better than his..A month later they fired him and hired me for the summer.

@MorzakEV 13 дней назад

I’ve seen you mention this metronome trick before, and it’s genius! I was fortunate to be a position as a teen, playing with good drummers several times a week before I could really play guitar well, and it really made me a guitarist - this is a brilliant substitute.

I dial my drive the other way around, I max it, then reduce the gain up to the point where it become too thin for what I want to play to wich point if go up a bit and set. Usually, the gain is set way lower than what I would expect and there is more dynamic to play with this way.

@burnindownthehouse 14 дней назад

The early 90's were a great time for good rhythm. Smashing Pumpkins were a good example. The rhythm was super busy. Empty spaces in songs became filled in with rhythm. It went from something that was in the background in the 80's and went to the forefront in the 90's. It's as if the rhythm guitar was playing what the same groove the drums were playing, which created a percussive wall of sound. If you listen to a lot of 80's hair bands the rhythm wasn't very good. The solos were top notch but a lot of times the rhythm was spotty and inconsistent. You would often hear only downstrokes. You would hear a lot of empty spaces in the songs. Guitarists would let a power chord ring out and then do nothing. In the early 90's guitarists began filling in the blanks.

@Vermonster23 14 дней назад

Personally, I keep my volume at nine unless I need that little bump. Run the amp at the edge of distortion and use my volume to get a clean sound. I will use a distortion pedal with the distortion pretty much turned off but the volume at noon. It really gives a little boost and shapes the distorted sound. It gives the effect of more drive. If I really want to crank it up, I have a boost pedal. For really nice overall tone, I run a 10 band EQ in the effect loop with my modular effects. The last thing in my effects loop is the Reverb.

Hendrix took his rhythm playing from all the R&B gigs he did. Steve Cropper and Curtis Mayfield were his biggest rhythm guitar influences. He didn’t “invent” any of his rhythm style. Yes, he influenced all the players you mention. But sometimes you’re better off going to the roots. Cropper and Mayfield took their style from someone else, too.

Some amazing tips here, but for me, syncing your strumming arm? (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BECL9JcuRKE.html) I use my foot, or heck, my whole body. I really find no need to specifically keep my arm in some kind of rhythmic motion. Maybe I'm misunderstanding though 🤔 If I'm damping sounds with my palm, my arm still keeps moving with the rhythm - maybe that's what you mean? But I will absolutely rest my arm in-between where strumming isn't needed and just tap my foot or move my body to keep that beat, that rhythm, to feel it.
