How to improve your rhythm on guitar, for beginners.
📝 Sign up for my FREE Guitar Crash Course: https://goodguitarist.com/crash-course/

We explore why relying solely on strumming patterns may not be the solution to rhythm issues and unveil a more effective approach to enhancing your musical timing. By focusing on rhythm correction, precision exercises, and incorporating various guitar techniques, you'll discover the key to unlocking a rhythmic mastery that goes beyond the surface-level complexity of strumming patterns. Join us on this rhythmic journey, where we debunk myths and guide you towards a more nuanced and skillful approach to playing the guitar.

We begin with an exploration of the intricate mechanics of strumming. We take a look at the specific motions involved in downstrokes. Then we introduce basic "rhythm theory" to elevate your understanding and experience a practical application of these concepts as we delve into counting and playing along with a rhythm play-along session.
