Guitar players spend 90% of their time on stage locked into the rhythm section supporting a vocalist or other soloists. That's why a player's rhythm guitar skills are the key determining factor for getting and keeping a gig. It's also why those guitarists get a lot more playing time at the jam. If you're itching to take your rhythm guitar skills to the next level, dig deep now into this Advanced Blues Rhythm edition of Essentials from Jeff McErlain!

Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, David Grissom, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Freddie King, Billy Gibbons, Albert King, and Buddy Guy are just a few of the blues masters that might be known for their soloing skills but are all also highly respected for their rhythm guitar. Jeff will guide you through a series of rhythm guitar studies designed to equip you with many of the techniques, voicings, and rhythmic approaches of these and other legends of blues guitar.

"I've prepared ten performance studies that focus on the advanced rhythm skills that all of our favorite blues and blues rock guitar players use in their performances. We'll work on right-hand techniques like hybrid picking and muting. We'll examine various chord inversions and the use of triads, sliding sixths, and partial chords. I'll show you variations for each rhythm part to help you create dynamics like you would in a band setting."

The ten performance studies cover a range of styles, tempos and feels including shuffles, funk, mambo, 12/8, country blues and Texas boogies. Jeff will first demonstrate the rhythm parts and then break them down for you.
