Description
In this guitar lesson, learn how to play an up-tempo, driving rock / country rhythm on electric guitar (although you could do this on acoustic as well). This lesson uses a combination of country and classic rock licks. I’ve included a slower version of the MP3 jam track as well for those that are just getting started with this style of playing. Also, for premium members, scroll down to check out the Soundslice tab / video player!

The more I use SoundSlice the more I like it. I have Guitar Pro software and it has some good features, but it just a tab player with MIDI like sound. I love the way that SoundSlice syncs the audio, video, and tab into a complete package.
I have no idea how labor intensive it would be for you to go back and add it to your past lessons but it would be great if you could!

Really great lesson and something I have been wanting to play for a long time but it is deceptively difficult…. I looked at the TAB and thought it would be a breeze but fingers and brain don’t want to sync at the moment!
Mike77 says
Another great lesson!! I love the new technology and all the hard work you put in the lessons and site. Best value on the internet.
I wish I could really master one lesson before the next one comes, but maybe one day. Thanks again.

I’d say this is way more lead than rhythm guitar.

hi brian….now that I have found I can comment on the lesson page …I don’t have to email you any more…I just love these lessons with the STRUMMING a major part…whatever you call it…kind of like syncopation….
I only am able to try and learn about every 5th lesson…as they are so complicated…..what I am really trying to learn….are the muted strings….the strumming with strings muted….
and basically strumming with muted strings…
I just love the strumming with the e open and the b on the a string …STYLE STUFF and you explain it so I can learn it…hudd from mex. (wish I could explain better)

Great job Brian. Love the tone and the effective guitar lessons. They are great to learn by.
Jake2015 says
Great lesson! I like your teaching method and how you explain everything. Your sound is great and I was wondering what type and gauge strings you use on your telecaster and type of Amp and settings?
webber guitar says
Lots of fun with this tune somewhat like surf music. Thanks for putting it out
there in digestible chunks

My first “Throwback Thursday” since my membership.
It’s nice to have the BT’s now.
I look forward to the lead part.
Ken H says
I am trying to play EP091 at a slower speed to learn it, but when I slide the speed selector at the left side of the screen nothing happens and when I click on the gear icon as directed to change the speed nothing happens and I cannot even get the loop to play at all.
Brian says
Hey Ken, try a different browser. Sounds like it’s browser related.
Ken H says
That did the trick, thanks.
sunburst says
now at first glance , thought not much but after following along i can feel the rhythm in the notation flowing.. favorite and will loop this for EP092!
tim m says
