In this lesson, you will become aware that although the rhythmic divisions look the same they can be executed a number of ways (all of which are correct) so that you can vary your approach to rhythm and have diverse offering while accompanying another player or yourself.

Congratulations, !
Challenge complete

Tony – I wonder why there’s no tab(s) with this lesson. I’m getting a little lost, and a tab would sure help my practice.
My fingertips are pretty sore getting pretty tender. I am building up callouses but they still get pretty sore. But I am spending an hour or two a day playing with my guitar. People I know have recommended wearing Band-Aids when I play. But I think that would be counter productive. I’m not gonna shorten my playing time because I’m enjoying it too much. But are there any really helpful solutions?
Whether playing rhythm or lead I truly believe that timing is the most important part of music.
Can anybody help? Why do I feel so uncomfortable using a pic when I was younger? I felt much more at ease using a pic. To me it feels so unnatural. Any suggestions would help!
Thanks
Hi crabbyblue11. Same here. I’m trying one of those plastic thumb picks that kind of wraps around your thumb. Gives me a bit more control. Mine is made by HERCO. It’s a medium. Think I got it at Guitar Center. :}} Good luck!
will practice coordination a bit more to catch yo speed with this one, Great stuff
Like that lots of coordination but love the charllenge.
Nice lesson sounds great.
awsome lesson, thats all i got to say
like this one, it will be a fun one to learn.
Good lesson, really like how it’s broken down to learn the different parts.
fantastic lesson. plan to review it quite a few times!
all lessons in this group will not load today
These music lessons are so helpful. I’ve never had any kind of music lessons before, so I’m loving learning how to count and keep rhythm. I downloaded a metronome app and it’s really helping me to stay in rhythm while I play. Thanks Tony, you’re a wonderful teacher!!
One of the most important lessons for me!
I definitely needed this, thank you.
Very nice variation and technique. So glad you did this demonstration. Thank you!
That was new for me and interesting
Takes a little doing, but…
really enjoying this lesson & wanting to perfect it 🙂
It took a while but I got it.
Somebody mentioned TABS and I just found them above the video lesson. Duh. I’ll need them here for sure. Fascinating and a good lesson.
Small gains are ok with me. Another good day.
In 30 days I have learned more about music than I have in 30 years of playing chords!
Fascinating lesson! Learned a lot.
So, does a ‘full strum on the up’ only cross the highest 3 strings? The TAB shows the 6 strings on the down, and only 3 strings on the up strum. Is this always the case, or will it be shown in the TAB? If I was reading chords only, would I ever strum all 6 strings on the up strum?
I need some 1 on 1… I have some bad habits.
I don’t seem to be able to mark as favourite! I need to practice it more just a nice little pick and exercise in timing!
Wow, great variations!
I like the variation
Another day…45 min.
Good one!
If I could, I’d add this to favorites but there’s no heart to click on.
this lesson was needed for me first 3 was ease but lesson 4 was a work out for me. i spent some time with this lesson, and printed it out and added it to my daily work out before doing daily challenge
tabs not available
click on “Materials” tab above the video
I was thinking, “Yeah, yeah, I know all this stuff. It’s really simple,” but I actually got inspired to write a song. 😉 Good lesson. Good teacher! 🙂
Great Lesson!
Great section! I will be here a while haha. There is a lot of work to do here but it looks like the payoff will be incredible as I listen to Tony play it as it will sound once I get the hand of it. As Johnny Cash would say, “Get rhythm!”
Is picking up and down that important? I can do all of this picking down only but when it comes to up picking, it’s a B$%th..
I felt the same way. Once I got used to alternating the direction though, it was hard to imagine how I ever did it the other way before. It helps me save time from resetting my picking hand and makes it easier to keep the rhythm.
This video gets interesting right around the 9 minute mark. These are some great alternate stumping exercises.
Hang in there @Skipmed1. Keep working on it. You’ll get there!!
I feel like I am taking too long to pick up these lessons. When I get the picking right I lose the timing and when I get the timing I lose my note picking. Can something be frustrating and enjoyable at the same time? Progress over perfection.
Still trying to get the hang of the pattern for all., especially the last part. Any pointers?
Dallas I am taking it in small pieces and slowing it down until i get consistent with it and then speed it up. Then I add another piece and start all over again. I know you know this but it works for me. Progress over perfection.
~that was a great teaching ! my soul needed that !
I would like some basic percussion skills on muting strings. I guess that is silly.
That’s a beautiful Martin
I’m having trouble maintaining my single note picking. That is, I’m regularly missing strings as I’m in the wrong position with my picking hand. Just a couple of observations from this an other lessons. Are you anchoring your little pinky when you play individual notes? It looks like it is resting on the guitar just below the 1st string. Is this a method to give your hand a steady reference point to the strings?
Secondly, you appear to just move your thumb up and down to pick individual strings. Is there a lesson on this specific type of picking action.
Does the rhythm pattern change when there is more than one chord in a measure ?
Yay! This is a fun lesson! Love it!
Thanks, Tony!
That was fun.
Is there a way to bookmark this lesson to remember to come back to it?
I think there was in the old layout before the update.
liked this lesson and I will be coming back to it.
I agree Michael…
