What You Will Learn?

  • I've been teaching private music students for many years and my favorite instructional message is this: rhythm is more important than anything... even getting the notes right!  This course is a concise way to learn how to think about and practice in a way that reinforces good rhythm and timing..
  • You'll learn that downstrokes and upstrokes are rhythmic tools.  We'll talk about navigating rhythmic landscapes with downbeats, strong beats and ultimately practicing with a metronome to gain your best timing skills.  If you're a new guitarist and you think better rhythm will help your playing, this course is for you!.
