Guitar Solo Lesson - What Nobody Tells You (Rhythm is KING!)
What's the magic ingredient that makes everything sound awesome?
The thing most guitar books and DVDs don't even mention?
RHYTHM.
Let me say that again.
RHYTHM
Rhythm is the key to sounding great on guitar! In this lesson we'll look at a really simple way you can start to focus on it more in your playing...with great results really fast!
Guitar Solo Lesson - What nobody ever tells you about playing a great solo! (guitar lesson breakdown)
0:24 Rhythm is the most important thing to nail when we play a solo.
How do we know? Because every great sounding player has a strong rhythmic groove! The fact is the right notes with a boring rhythmic feel will always sound boring...but 'weird' notes with amazing rhythm- can sound amazing (John Coltrane, Scott Henderson, Allan Holdsworth anyone?)
0:40 So in this guitar lesson I want to show you a simple way you can practice developing your rhythm. It's easy to do and is even fun to do...
0:55 Try thinking like a drummer. You don't need to go out and buy a chest wig and a tank top (only joking..)
Instead put most of your focus on nailing the groove...instead of thinking so hard about the notes you're playing! Hammer out the rhythm of your solo phrases and licks with gusto and passion. This will give your phrases rhythmic life and expression.
1:50 I'm going to demo this for you now over a backing track. I'm really trying to 'lock in' with the drums and bass, and the groove of the music as a whole - instead of just 'playing in time'.
2:06 Imagine someone walked into your practice session as you were soloing without backing. Would they hear where the beat was just by listening to you solo? They should be able to!
2:25 So what kinds of results can you expect from doing this? Well, you could see instant change...I've seen it in my students many times.
It's a fast way to improve the sound of your soloing...and you don't really need to learn anything new - you just play what you already play with more groove!
2:30 Join my free rock guitar training course starting soon! Loads of cool licks, tips as well as a rock backing track for you to practice over.
