Hi all,
Got out my rock machine for this one. This is definitely a different way of playing for me but there’s nothing more satisfying than hitting those big rock chords with lots of gain. The piece is modified from a lesson at brettpappa.com. The point is to break chords up into low mid and high parts and mute to keep things clean between hits. My muting was better in some places than others, still a work in progress. Hope you enjoy.

Huge grin upon hearing the first strummed chord; kind of like getting punched in the chest.
Me thinks you play rhythm just fine.
I’m not gonna say this sounds like somebody other than you (I don’t appreciate when others do that).
Down and dirty lick; love how it resolves with the G chord.
Looks like the rhythm course is doing you well.
FANTASTIC ROCK AND ROLL TONE.Great stuff,

The first slap in the face was seeing you holding a LP instead of a Strat! Then you started playing and there was the second slap! 🤣 Everything about it made for a sweet submission.

What a riff, what a player, what a sound! This is first class rock‘n roll, John. Listening to this I can see the audience going crazy clapping to it. Rock on!

Very VERY well played.
That must have taken a fair bit of concentration and effort to keep that going at a steady cadence.
Loved everything about it and of course I couldn’t be more on board with your LP.
Fantastic submission.

Ahh that’s great John, I thoroughly enjoyed it. (I shall look up the lesson – I’d love to be able to do this). Well played.

Hi Gary,
The basic rhythm is from a course I purchased, Foundations of Rhythm – Classic Rock. I’d recommend it, I hear this kind of playing in all kinds of rock music, ie think of the Cars, T-Rex. He just put out a second rhythm course. I bet you rhythm will be the new area the YouTube teachers focus on.

Solid rock, what a classic sound. Don’t think there’s much of that around these days. I just had three days in Tokyo, only saw two guitars being carried around, one was a young guy, the other an old Western guy who was probably a professional on tour as he was catching a flight back home. Twenty years ago there were buskers and guitars on backs everywhere.

Holly Heavens! 🤩 John is rocking a Les Paul like a rock star!!!
No, seriously, this was something. I appreciate the explanation of rhythm muting difficulties, and yet what you played here sounded super clean and clear. What a great catchy riff too, I can see how fun it must have been to play that (loud!).🎸JoLa

John, that was really solid rhythm playing. You really nailed it and your consistency was there throughout. I really appreciate and admire that especially after practicing some tunes over and over….its tough to keep it all together. I’ll check out that rhythm course you mentioned above. Sounds cools. Cheers. Pap

Hey John:
What a great rock and roll technique. If I had a lighter it would be flaming now with the hope of an encore! You playing infused a great rock feel. I don’t know if this is the same technique, but that rock playing style you just did so well reminded me of the Georgia Satellites (whom I don’t know well) playing their attention getting guitar on the song “keep your hands to yourself”. Bravo. Tom
