1. Welcome: Hello, my name is Gabriel Felix. Course is about
strumming rhythm. Yes, I'm going to teach you all this step by step to develop your skills on the strumming
part and the thing part. You're going to find the most
important rhythm patterns. Music Notes such as whole notes, half notes, 16th notes. You're going to understand
all this step by step, and a lot of exercise, practical exercise
on the guitar. Remember that this
course is developed for beginners in Dulac Guitar. It doesn't matter if you
have jazz one instruments. You can play all the exercise
in both instruments. And in the end of the
course learn a few songs. That's a very F D. Thank you so much in seeing
lesson number one. Bye bye.
2. Music notes - beats and tempos: The first thing we need to know about rhythm is the
four board division. This image represents a
bar number one is a bit, number two is another
one, and so on. Bits the same thing
as Temple. Okay. And we're going to
put your chord, melody and notes
inside these numbers. Most of the time we are
going to play four by 490, 5% of the time playing. Music. You are going to play 44 Temple. That's why it's important to watch this lesson
very carefully. Have you ever watched a show that the drums start counting 1234 and start a song
the same thing as 44. The most important thing
is divide the notes, Such we're going to learn inside this box,
Inside these temples. Inside these bits, wart you. 3.4 All right, take a look. First note is the whole notes. Notes have four
temples or four bits. Very big notes we can
compare with pizza. I really enjoy it. As example, let's compare that. One whole note is
like four pizzas. All right, so we are going to put those pizzas inside our bar, temple 123.4 If we play on a cust guitar or
any kind of instrument, it's going to sound
like this, 1234 and you finish the note, Okay, So the duration
is like four temples. Remember about that? Now you can see you can represent
by this type of circle in the pulse
or rest is represented. This kind of hat. Okay, Symbol is really cool. Second note is half notes. The duration is kind of
two temples or two beats. If we compare with pizzas
is just two pizzas. Half of our whole
notes here is four. This half note is
just two pieces, right? 1234, really simple. And as you can see, we have a different sign to the notes, a different symbol, right, Especially to the rest
that's upside down. Next note is quarter notes. The duration is one beat
or one single temple. And if we compare with pizzas, we just have one single pizza. It's like 25% of a whole notes
or half of our half notes. That's why it's
just one unit pizza and we putting aside a bar, squat, sound like this, 1234. Okay. Simple like
that. I remember. That's important to memorize
the symbol of the notes, the name, and of course
the S or the pulse. Okay, remember pulse. Silence is still Music
and it's very important. Next note we call eighth notes. The duration is half of one bit, that's why we just
have half pizza. We compare to a quarter note is just half of a quarter note. In most of the cases
you are going to write together in groups of two. If we play on our instruments, it's going to sound
like this, 1234. Next note is the 16th notes. The symbol is really similar
to the eighth notes, but we need to divide by two. So if we compare with pizzas, it's just a slight pizza. And we are going to write down in groups of four. All right. So check this out. 3412349, Right? Simple like that. 99% of the time you are going to use those notes that
we have learned. Okay, 99% But I have two
more things to teach you, dots and ties that are
very important as well, especially if you're playing
acoustic or later guitar. You can put a.in
any kind of notes. If we play the half
notes and put a dot, we're going to have the two
temples of the half notes plus 15% so we're going
to have two more, one. In this case we're
going to have three, or we prefer three pizzas. Let's check another example. If we add a.in a quarter note, quarter is one temple. So we're going to do
this kind of math. One plus 50% of one temple, so we're going to have
one temple and a half. One pizza, two ties on
a little bit different. Let's take as example,
quarter notes. We have two quarter notes. Okay. So one temple in second
temple, temple number two. Each quarter note is
just one single temple. We put a tie together. We just have two temples. Okay. It's like simple math. One plus 12 is all of this. And we need to play
this together. So if I play two quarter
notes, endow the ties, it's going to sound
like this, 12, okay? If I put a tie, it's going
to sound like this one. It's almost the same thing as if I put a half notes. Okay. The sound is exactly the same, but the written part is
a little bit different. I think this lesson is one of the most important
ones to music. With this knowledge, you can
play any kind of instrument. It's important to
memorize the names, the value, and all this math.
3. Quick rhythm exercise to improve rhythm: Time to play a little bit. Take your acoustic
electric guitar and let's play together, right? The first, not the first, is born with hold notes as remember hold
note is four temps. Let's play with this major
core right here, 1234. All right, simple like that. It's important to
count like this. Just memorize the temples. All right, let's
play the half notes. 124, as you can see, play two half notes just
because each half note is two temples and we need to insert notes in
all four temples. All right. Next note is
going to be quarter notes, so we need to play
four quarter notes. Okay? Just because each
quarter note is one temple. 1234. All right.
Simple like that. Let's go to eighth notes. Eighth note is like
half temple. All right. So we need to memorize
half temples, like what if you can
pizzas is 12 bits. Okay? So we are going to write down a
little bit different, most of the times, the
coming groups of two. Okay? And we're going to
play like this, 1234. It's important to say this out loud to recognize where
is the up temple. So let's go to our 16th notes
is half of eighth notes. We can put 16 notes to get
and sign 1 bar, right? And we're going to divide this
in group of 44 16th notes. It's equal one single
temple or one bit. Alright, We are going to count a little bit
different, check this out. 123.4 All right. Usually we count like that. Just because it's going
to be easier to finally recognize all the 16th
notes inside of our bar. Remember and memorize about
the names of these notes, this type of group,
the written part, and of course the
sound of each group. Okay? They are very important. And now it's just necessary to mix everything together
and create. Music
4. Four common types of rhythm every musician should know: First rhythm is really common. Acusa guitar, specially
in pop rock music. And I think it's one of
the most common rhythms. When you start play
guitar, check this out. 1234. As you can see, we have quarter notes and
notes together, right? The first temple I
have one quarter note, the second temple
I have one notes, and inside temple number two I play my other quarter note. So that's why we have
the syncopated rhythm and it's very interesting to
Music Temple number three. We have another notes in Temple number four,
a quarter note, so I'm going to
play one more time, and please try to play
with me. All right. Let's go 341 Tory 41 to 41, to entry in 41 to entry in Four. As you can see, the eighth notes creates a very nice
radians in the music. In this case, you
have two options. You can write with the quarter
notes in eighth notes, or you can use ties sometimes easier if you write down
with a different technique. At least to me,
this second pattern that sounds exactly the same
thing as the first one is easier to read
just because I can see all the divisions
of my bars. You can see in the
temple number two entry, I change my quarter notes and
put two notes with a tie. All right. It's the same thing. The same rhythm but
written differently. Next rhythm is really
common in Reggie. We're going to play
the Up Temple. When I count one, I'm going to play in this note. Okay, check this out. I'm going to play with
this core, 3412 to 41234. Very nice, isn't it? You can find this rhythm in
any kind of Reggie song. And of course, we can
change a little bit. Instead of put notes, let's put two 16th notes. It's
going to sound like this. 1,234.1 234. Not a very common rhythm. Dot, and we are going to
use this rhythm in blues. Music 95% of the blues
have this rhythm. Just this rhythm
is really amazing. Da is to use eighth note
with a dot and 16th notes. Okay. Each temple you are
going to have this pattern. If we play just temple number, one is going to sound like this, one M. All right,
simple like that. You can count like this
if we compare two notes. So 1234, it's like you
are a robot, okay? Like a machine counting 12. But if we put this
dot and transform our second notes in 16th
notes, we have more swing. We have more blues, all right? So one, okay. It's much more interesting, especially to the style. Let's play the whole, the entire board together, okay? 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, and 2, and 2, and 4, and 1, 2, and 3, and 4, all right? So this is the
rhythm of the blues. It's important to memorize this group of notes
in of course, the sound of the figure you
see on the screen next. Rhythm is really come in funk music In sometimes
in pop as well. So check this out. The first part is a
kind of blues, right? We put our group of blues
notes, A.ina 16th notes. We have a ras, a pause, okay? Pause is very
important to music. So remember about that
in two 16th notes, and this part makes
everything funky, right? So let's play just temple
1.234 Very nice, isn't it? In the last two bits, we have the ragged temple, right? The rag rhythm. So 3.4 All right. That's why sounds so nice when we mix everything together. And I think that this is the most important thing that you need to remember
about this lesson.
5. Up and down exercises: I don't like to teach music special rhythm
part using arrows. Okay? This type of thing makes
the students become really blaze when they need to recognize a rhythm
by year. All right? But the lessons going
to be important, at least to educate your right
hand, your strumming here. Okay? That's why I'm
going to use errors. The idea here is going
to play a rhythm, okay, using the arrows. And you need to play exactly like I play,
right? I know that. I always say that it's not important if you're
picking up or down. The most important
thing is if you are playing the correct
rhythm pattern. But this time it's
important to play exactly the rhythm pattern
with strumming up or down. Okay, This type of exercise is going to
help you to develop control for your right hand
part, your picking hand. Let's try the first rhythm you're going to see on
the screen is going to be down, down, down. We're going to use Core and you complete this
on a latter guitar, even on your base as we a right. So let's try down, down, down, down, down. Going to play very, very slowly and low. So trach play me right. 1234, down, down,
down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down,
down, down, down. It's important to say this
down and up really loud just because your brain and your hand is going to
mimic what do you say. Okay, so let's try more time. And of course, if you are a
little bit more advanced, try to use your foot, okay, to mark the temple of
this exercise like this. 1234 down, down, down,
down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down. So let's try another reading.
It's going to be like this. 1234 down, up, down, down, down, down, down. This type of rhythm is a little
bit more funky, isn't it? So I'm using G Core as well. And my advice for you guys is, try to sing the rhythm before
you play, down, up, down. Now let's play together, let's try my foot, metro 1234 and down, down, down, down. Oh, another detail. Remember that when
I play this up, I mute all the strings, okay? Right after you play and
mute all the strings, be careful with these
little details, okay? It's very important in music, right? So let's try again. 1234, down, up and down, down, down, down,
down, down, down. So let's try our
exercise number three, right, our session number three. And I'm going to use Core as
well in a different pattern. So check this out. What, 234? As you can see, it's really
different, isn't it? I use palm molting. I play this, okay? So I play four times,
134134 down, okay? This 134 is everything
down, okay? So remember about
this, this type of rhythm is very coming, rock, pop, and half
metal as well. Okay, so let's try 234. Down, down, down, down, down, down, down,
down, down, down. It's very unusual rhythm, right? But really nice to
pract, develop our ears. Let's try one more. This rhythm is a little bit
trick because you're going to play down every single time. It's like a 16th
note, like a train. You can start this rhythm
with this pattern. It's a nice exercise. Mute everything and start this
strumming 16th notes down. Start slowly, starting
speed marked. Play the chords in mute or
part of the rhythm like this. 123-41-4121 So as you can see, I play the numbers right? 13.4 Play Rest of
the rhythm pattern. I just played this
muted session. This rhythm, uh, rhythm. Try to size rhythm. Right? It's not so. Music Okay, but it's very nice. We can play a few
variations as well, but let's try one more time. Start the strong part,
double the temple. That counts 23414 slowly. 3412344. As you can see, this rhythm sash is not easy, but it's important to remember
the foot matter, okay? Try to adapt to your playing
your skills and your branch. Play all the rhythms and songs
playing your foot, okay? Four like this, 341234. Be careful if you speed up, 1234, okay? Be
careful with that. Try to keep the bit okay. Follow the drums.
The drums usually helps a lot to keep the bit. Try to sing the rhythm
before you play. Okay, this lesson. As
I told you before, I don't like to teach with Ers. But this lesson is important to have the right control
of your strong hands. If necessary, come back to
the beginning of the lesson, to the top of the lesson, and play all those
exercises with you again. All right. This lesson
is important because you develop your rhythm session
in your right hand. All right, so let's continue.
6. Ghost notes: Let's talk about goose notes. I will give you a very
nice nice example about this suberjackett'suppose. Need to play a note, this is not right, but goose, not going
to sound like this. You do not press the notes. Do not press the fact number five on the
string number six. Let's play this exercise.
That is very nice. Let's play 28 notes, a robot. Check this out. 12341234. Okay, so I'm playing
ghost notes. I'm not press the notes when you don't have
the sound of a. Okay, I'm playing ghost notes. So let's do this exercise. I'm going to play
my first temple. The first bit of this exercise going to
be the strong temple. The next part is going
to be just ghost notes. All right. 341. All right. So it's important press recognize ghost notes
in regular notes. All right. Lets play
another exercise. Just take your cool Troy or Basicitar can
use this technique, any kind of
instrument. All right. Even drums, we have a
lot of goose notes. Let's play it like this. Okay. Be careful,
it's not necessary. Press the notes. 0 strong. Okay? We don't want the
sound of the notes, we just want the goose notes. Okay? The speaking sounds. Try to play with me walking to. It doesn't matter if you're
holding your car right here. Uses. All right here. All right, but now
the next part. Let's play a red this cord
right here. It's a bar core. You play fight number five
on the string number four. All right? In the first
tempo you play a core. The next part just goes. This one in 234.1 234 to four. Okay, try to clean a core. I mean, when you have the core, you have the right
sound of the core. When we have the goose notes, we just have the goose
notes. All right. Let's try again. 34 to four. To four. Okay. And then, yeah,
yes, the rhythms. Try to put the core in other
parts of the two notes. Okay, The sequence of two notes. The next exercise
is mix everything. Let's put the core
temple number one in the end of temple number two, right? Subject this out. 4234234, as you can see,
sounds very funky. Very nice. This
type of technique, you can find any kind of style, but specially in funk music. Okay, let's play some, for example, if you have
to ask by Rehouse Peppers, I think something like this. It's a very nice song
and he played this, so as you can see we have
a few accents, right? We having rock and
roll as well, so C, C. But we've another
approach, right? And even smells lection spirits, gro Music So this is good notes. All right, so let's come
back to our exercise. So we're going to play the
core in temple number one. In the end of temple
number two, right? Let's play in the end of
temple number three as well. 34234 to 34 to three to four. Okay? The idea is mix
everything and create very nice rhythm variations to your song and to your music.
7. Finding the rhythm pattern: Now the idea is try to
find a rhythm pattern that fits inside,
inside chorus, okay? The chords are a minor, major, major, and major, right? The song is 441-234-1234, Let's try to sing a rhythm pattern that fits
inside the song, all right? So let's listen to the song
and try to sing this had. So I think this pattern of five strums going
to work, right? So let's try the five. All right, So let's
try with them, please. As you can see, it
fits perfectly. And of course you
can choose if you want to pick everything down
up or use alternate Pk. As I told you before, it doesn't matter if
you pick up or down. The most important thing is
if you keep with the rhythm. With the right rhythm
playing correct. With the right tempo, correct. Another great shortcut is
when you play had number one, the bit number one, try to play a little
bit more strong, Okay, Just because this is the strong tempo
is going to help the listener recognize
that this is the first bit of your
bar of your temple. Okay, This is very important. Music Let's try another song. Let's try, when I
come around by Green, we are going to
use F sharp part. C sharp. All right? Let's try to do the same thing
as we did in other side. Let's try to listen to the song. Recognize the temple, okay? And try to find a rhythm that fits in this
part of the song. Okay, it's going to
be the introduction. Let's listen to the song
and try sing the rhythm. Two observations, one, you
can see the drums count 1234, right with the high hat. This song is 99% of
the songs and you have two rhythm sessions on the five. The first pattern is five times, but be careful because
it plays with Palm. So put this part of
your hand on the talk. So something like
this second session is it's easier. So we have just one, Okay? So let's try, Ju put this
rhythm inside the song. Let's play with Dan and see if it's going to
work or not. Right? Let's go on to talk. As you can see,
works really good. And of course you can provide
a little bit after you recognize the rhythm pattern
that fits inside the song. The idea of this lesson is
develop your ears to find rhythm patterns very easily that fits in any kind of song. With this, you're going
to play your songs and have fun with your
friends more easily. Let's, let's go this
time we're going to listen to the song and try to recognize the rhythm
on the guitar. All right, so let's listen to the song play exactly
the same, read. Another important
thing is try to find the speed of the BPM. So the speed of the temple. Sometimes you have to 34, sometimes you have
12341234. Okay. Especially in punk music. So let's try fast, right? 122 part 12.3 part 12.3. Part 122 far. 123 far. Oh, look, start with 16 notes. Okay? So in this power
you play just once with the crash symbol on the
drums And something in right alternate peaking. You're going to play
the sash a few times, and he plays this D A and
come back to the top. All right, so let's
try more time. You're going to slow down
the sun a little bit. Alright, let's go crash, crash, crash. Last part. So you can see it is
exactly the same rhythm. Okay, sometimes it's important
to listen very carefully the drums just because drums can help you to
find the right temple, especially if the symbols
marking the temples, the high head scouting the song. Okay. It's going to help you to improve your
rhythm session. You can take any kind
of songs you want, the particular songs
that you enjoy, play or Judi ism, and try to do this
type of exercise. But on Youtube you are
putting on your CD or wherever you have and
try to find a rhythm, or try to create a rhythm pattern that
fits inside the song. All right? It's a great
exercise and it's a very, very nice exercise as well.
8. Strumming exercises: How to play a new
exercise that is very important to develop your
ears in your rhythm section. I'm going to play a few rhythms
and you're going to try to recognize how many
times I Strugar, Okay. It's not necessary
to play the rhythm. It's not necessary to
understand the rhythm pattern. Just necessary to know how many times am I going
to strug my guitar. Okay. Looks very
easy and simple, but especially for beginners, it's a great exercise. All right? So close your eyes. Four is very important. It's important to
close your eyes and minimize the vigus cram, okay? And I'm going to play the rhythm and you're
going to count how many times I play
my T. All right, let's go, we're going to
choose a random core. Let me see, core right here. So let's go one more time again, 34, Okay, this is
the rhythm pattern. So now I'm going to
play Loop, right? So 34. So how many times I play my rhythm? If you count correctly, it's five times 1234. That devices counter
rhythm with your foot. Okay, It's very important. Count is 123412. Okay? Continues. Do not
stop to counter rhythm when you are trying to recognize a rhythm pattern or
even playing a song. Okay? Discounting part if your food is going to
help you to keeping temp. And of course finding
the right pattern. 99% of the songs when we
play music it's in 44. That's why we count 1234. All right, so let's try
another rhythm pattern. Let me see, 1234, this is the rhythm
pattern, okay? It's a little bit faster, right? So we're going to
play one more time and play of course in loop. So 1234, could you recognize
how many times am I playing this ad on
this strong part? It's eight times I play four, won't you? 34 stop. Four, stop, okay? It's really hard to recognize
when we play fast, right? But exercise number three, this example number three,
you're going to play a little bit slowly,
check this out. 12, 341-234-1234, So could you recognize
it's a ragged pattern. So I'm going to play one
more time. Just once. Okay? 341234. So really easy, right? Play just four times. Okay, Important tracks with me. Okay, Now I'm going to play
difflumcheck, this out, 12342 to two to four. Let's try one more time. I play did tricks. I'm going to play
just once, okay? Just a single pattern, 41 to 24 could recognize. We're going to play
nine loop, right? 341-22-1224 It's a little
bit more difficult. My advice for you is
try to sing the rhythm. A, this type of thing is going to help a
watch or clap like this. This type of thing
is going to help you develop your ears, your rhythm session,
and of course, recognize rhythm
structure inside songs. All right, so let's
play the last example, 34, I changed my session play, and now I have read another rhythm pattern
that's very common. Interesting music
So let's try this. Okay, I'm going to play
and loop. Close your eyes. Remember about this detail? Close your eyes and try
to recognize ears by ear. Four, try to sing the ribbon. Okay, so I play one
to 561 to 4567. This rhythm is a little
bit challenging, right? It's very common to
rock and pop music. Remember guys, you can Px
this type of exercise, any kind of instrument. Electric guitar,
acoustic guitar, piano, keyboard, bass, any kind
of drums. All right. You can play these
on drums as well, any kind of instrument. Now it's time to pre lot and try to develop
this new ear skill.
9. Ear training to identify rhythm patterns: Let's talk about ear training, and how this can help
you to learn rhythms. Develop your ears to understand rhythm is
really important. It helps you in many ways. Let's break it down, okay? For us, one is Rhythm. Rhythm is like the
heart beat of music is the pattern of sounds and silence that make a song groovy. Just like your heart
beat in a stead da. Musk flows with its own da. Learning rhythm helps you
become better musician. Whether you are playing
an instrument singing or if you love
listening to music. Understand rhythm makes
everything easier. It's like knowing the
secret code of music. When you develop your
ears to recognize rhythm, you can play music
more currently. Imagine trying to dance but not being able
to catch the bit. It's going to be
really hard, isn't it? It would be like walking
the dark down a flashlight. But if you can hear the rhythm, it's like having a
gate show you the way. Not only does it make
play much easier, but it also makes
it more enjoyable. Not a Sam rhythm also helps you communicate with musicians. It's like speak
the same language when everyone in a band, not the hum, then
can play together smoothly like well
oiled machine. It's chain work as it finest. Yeah, I have all the short cut about this rhythm
secret for you. Let's start with
the first exercise. I'm going to play rum, and you're going to
close your eyes. Sport is very important.
Please close your eyes. You cannot see my right hand. You're going to recognize. To count. How many times
I strum on my guitar. Don't worry about the. Just worry about how
many times I strum. Close your eyes. You cannot
see this right hand. So are you ready?
Let's go. Three, four. Close your eyes. This is the rhythm,
this is the pattern. When I play just once
it is really hard to recognize and
count the numbers, how many times I play. But let's try one more time. But instead of playing just one going to play several times. Close your eyes.
Remember that we have a pattern, try to count. Three four. Okay, this is not
a easy exercise, especially for a beginner. So to help you out, I'm going to change the courts, so we're going to
play each pattern in one different court, right? So let's go. Three four. Okay. So could you recognize how many times
I play I strum the ad? The right answer is six times. Yes, I play. Five six of course. You don't need to worry
about der up or down. Let's try another example. S your eyes. I'm going to play one
session of the adam, y? Three four. How many times did I play? I played a session. Just one. It's just one pattern. You're going to
play several times. Let's try, close your eyes
and try to use your ears of this perfect machines you have and recognize how many
times I'm playing. Three four. Okay. So can you say the right answer? Is eight times eight
read and pattern, right? So one tree form one tree form. So four plus four eight times. This exercise can be easy for some musicians and difficult
you are musicians, but it's normal especially
if you are a beginner, it's easier to think that
this exercise is difficult. Okay. But you need to press. The second example of exercise that you can use to develop your one is really good, but I have another one
is reproduce the rhythm. Most of the case,
when you're going to listen a song and
learn that song, you need to close your eyes, stop, use your ears and recognize the read
the reading pattern. So this is the exercise we're going to start right
now. Close your eyes. I'm going to play a very
famous reading pattern, and you're going to count
how many times am I playing. Okay? So let's go. Three, four. As you can see a play but
away by re house and peppers. And I'm just playing
ten ten, ten ten, ten ten, ten ten and
change the chord? So focus in counting this
ad. Let's try more time. Close your eyes. Three four I just played the first
chord to help you out. Let's find more
time. Three four. So the right answer
should be eight times. Okay. You didn't find how many
times I played the rhythm, but how can you
reproduce this ham? The second step is try to
sing the rhythm together with the song As you can see, it is a very stat hum. It's going to be easier.
You can play everything going down or going up doesn't matter if
you're picking down. You just need to recognize how many times my play and sing the hum and
discover the pattern. Remember about the shortcuts. Let's try another
rhum. Close your eyes. Three four. Let's go. How many times in play? Okay. Probably eight times, I play
this muted play a chord, muted port and play the chord. As I told you before,
try to find a pattern. Every kind of song
has a pattern. The pattern of this
song is a rag cliche. It's used this muted
muted muted chords very coming rag and pop music. Next time is sing the da
Muted muted muted muted, muted muted muted
cord muted cord. With this short cut
with this step by step, your life as a musician
is going to be easier. My shortcut for you is. Use this to learn music. Another important one is the cliches that you
can find a music. You have cliches in chords. But you have clichingRd. For example, if you're going
to play a punk rock problem, you're going to use
par chords and pick everything down
strong like this. And play some notes with
the accents like this. The strong notes. So it's a very cliche
in punk music, rock or even half metal. Palming, the technique
that you take your hand put right here
and play everything down. It's really common in the style. Is everything aaa. It's a very nice cliche. I told you before
about the gy cliche, muted muted muted chord. As you can see my right hand, I play down to the muted
port to the chord part. The shortcut going
to help a lot. You can find several
other ones like Bosonv You have this rham cliche As you can see the number four, we stay a little bit longer. If you play this in loop, it's
going to sound like this. One, two, four, one, two, four, one, two, four, four. It's a very nice
cliche in boson. My shortcut for you guys is, watch this lesson over
again, take this exercise, try to reproduce at home, try to reproduce
with your friends, stand music with your friends, especially this
ear training part. It's very important
to train your ears. Not just to take courts by year, but take ham by year, or people forget about this. Little detail. Rhythm
is 50% of a song. The am is the 50 rhythm
is the port 50%. Here trained requires consistent preg over
a period of time. It's not something that
you can muster overnight. Some beginners may may get frustrated if they don't
see immediate progress, which can lead them
to give up too soon. Remember that takes time. You need to prate more and more until you feel comfortable
playing songs by here.
10. Let's play a few songs - Lenny Kravitz - Low: It's time to learn a few songs. I separate those songs just because it's going
to be very important to help you to develop your ears in your reading session as well. Of course, technique
on instrument, so you can learn the songs on a latter. And
acoustic guitar. All right, so let's go, let me craft the low. So we just have two chords. This is, the first one is a
sharp minor seventh chord. F sharp. Okay? You can think sharp. Think about flat. Flat and flat is up to you. You're going to use
standard tuning, all right? The first chord is like this. When I play the chord, I don't
play the entire bar chord. Okay? I just pick strings
number 43.2 All right. So you can remove the bar
chord and play like this. It's up to you. Works pretty
good as well. All right. And of course the second
chord is the bar chord. It's going to be short measure, but you remove the
bass and play strings. Number four, tri, two, the type of chord
that you remove the bass of the chords really
come on in Funk music, you can find Red has papers, Jamiro Cry, and
several other bands. All right, so you just
have the true chords, but the most important
thing is the rhythm. So take a look. It's better if you listen to
the song and try to sing. Reproduce with your mouth. This rhythm. Sing it, okay? So let's try together. After this type, you can
try to play on a guitar, muting everything like this. Don't think about
picking up or down. Okay, use your ears. So let's try one more time. Very slowly, after you take this rhythm, using your ears stretch,
improvise a little bit. You can put four 16th
notes in the end. That works really
well. Check this out. As you can see, this works
perfectly in the song. You're going to
repeat this rhythm four times to the first core, in four times to
the second, right? It's very nice reading a little bit difficult
for beginners, but if you know a little
bit of how to read music, train your ears constantly. You're going to
play this perfectly right before minute
number three. You have a pulse, okay? It's a bridge with just
the bass and drums. And play something like this or a hammer on or
slide with a lot of delay. Okay, It's a bridge part, you just play frat number 9.11, string number three, okay, And have the delay
to play the effects, the repetition of
the node, all right? But the songs really
isn't simple. If you are going to
play with a band, it's very nice to
improvise a little bit. When you improvise, t use this first pattern
of pentatonic scale, but in the key of, all right? I think it's going to
work perfectly with this shoe cords going to sound really funky and
different. All right.
11. Nirvana - You know you're right : Time to play your van and I'm
going to use tuner tuning. But after you play
and learn this song and you want to play
with the original song, please Tony instrument. Half step down. Okay?
It's going to sound exactly like Kurt Coby
on your van. Let's go. The first part of the song
is this kind of Guity track, right here on the strings, on the top of your
instrument, All right? You play something,
improvise it right here. Second part is short, the key of the song, okay? You can play with power chord represented with
the number five. All right? So power F, number two on the
string number six. And then the best
part is the rhythm. So this rhythm is not
so easy as you can see. I alternate my
finger number one, frat number two,
and open string. Okay? So the rhythm is
something like this. P, as you can see, you have a strong bit
strong, strong, strong. You need to play
exactly like this. Your right hand
with palm muting. Okay? Play with pouting,
alternate picking. So we're going to play one
more time, very slowly. During this strong tempo, I changed my finger number
one to open string. Okay? One more time is a very nice
exercise to your ears. Okay? Practice a lot. The second part, he
plays something like that with random reps you, okay? As you can see it play random nodes inside of
my cord and my cord. You can play this
chord with a parred or if your three fingers tor
shape is exactly the same. All right, and he
come back to the top. You're going to play this
board with cling guitar, but the second time
you play DNE with Distortion and you have the first chorus you are going to play
on the Aqui guitar, you can play F sharp. Okay? Sharp measure
or just short chord. You have over dub guitar, playing this kind of pad right
here in the F number two, on string number six. Okay? And a feedback. A very nice feedback right here. Fat number 14161714. Yeah, and the chorus. All right. So be careful because this
sounds very difficult to play exactly sound
like Kurt coming, because first of all, we don't have live
version of the song. Okay, as I can't remember the
live version of this song. Second of all, we have
a lot of overdubs and feedbacks and this is
really hard to play live. Okay. You need to on the studio to have the
maximum control of feedbacks. All right, You're going to come back to the
spot right here. You can play with this
type of chord right here. Bar chords, exactly
the same shape of DNE, but short just because
sometimes you can listen. This string right here string, so all right, but okay, you can sometimes play this barred and
sometimes power or zep. All right? Okay. The next part is we repeat the same thing
over and over again. The last part he sings A, right? He plays something like this, 9898 on a string 04. Okay, so vibrato. Second part. Second time, right? It's exactly the same thing
but with a hat step band, the Fred number ten on
the string number three. So it's important.
Hat step band. Okay. Do not play one hole step
band. Has step band. Your band in sharp. All right. So it's a very nice effect. And of course you have another guitar playing sharp,
playing with a friend. You can play a sharp and you play this melody
right here, Okay? Can you just need to play this
until the end of the song? This song is very easy
to play, isn't it? Like 34 chords and you
have the entire song. But it's hard to reproduce this live just because of
the feedbacks and overdubs. Okay, so put the
original song in, try to play with NF.
12. Queen - Under pressure: The first part of our song, start with the bass, but you can play the same
thing on the guitar as well. So take your Custer
Rhetor, check this out. You can play this first
part on your instrument, frag number five,
using palm mooting. So with this part of your
hand on the strings. Okay? And you're going to play frag number five on
the string number five and frat number five
on the string number six. Okay? Remember to kill
the note very fast. All right, After this part, you start with the
picking part that we have several in our song.
Pay attention. I will divide each picking
part into four parts. Okay? So let's take a look
in the first we're going to play like this, all right? The most important thing here is memorize the strings that you are going to
play. All right? So you can put it's a
court shape, isn't it? Put your court shape right
here on your left hand. Play strings number 433 to four. Okay? Remember that
the string number four is always open. Okay? These strings, you're
going to play this pattern, repeat the same pattern. It's not the same, a
little bit different, but it's almost the
same. Check this out. In the second fragment, the second part of
your picky part, you put your fingers like this, 5.6 with a bar, okay, On string
finger number one. And you're going to play
strings, number 32132. Okay? It's important that you memorize this pattern,
this new pattern. Because going to repeat
the same thing right here, right on the string number
the same strings, okay? But in the frat number three, the last part is a
little bit different. Part number four of our
first finger part and need to play like a measure with fingers number 1.2 right? Play strings number one. This last part
you're going to play this framber string number
this first session. Try to memorize each
part separated, okay? And it's going to help a lot
to memorize the entire song. Let's go to the second part. You're going to repeat
this three times. Time number four, it's
a little bit different. Check this out, paper. You're going to play strings. It's the same guitar shape. Okay? And you play strings
number four to 123. Okay. Next part is the
same guitar shape as well, but this time you play
strings number 1232123. All right. Same
thing right here, the frat number 312123. Okay? Memorize your right hand. This is the most
important thing and the last part is the same
as the previous ones. This is the easiest one right after this session of the song. Okay? You have the pre cards. In. The cards you just need to play. You can play like this. You can play down your finger,
number one as well. You can play down your
pink finger is up to you. Okay. This part is really
open improvisation. And you can embellish your chord a little
bit. Play the chord. Play. And not inside a chord, so it's going to sound nice. Second chart is A with
the basin in same thing. You can be a, You're going to
play this two ice and you have this new core. This is a very famous
shaped red house peppers. You use a lot in this
simple three figures, you play each one and
you have a new part. This part is important to
cop exactly like play. You have D with
the base F sharp. After you play the cord
Nach. Play very fast. Number three, open stream. Come back to frac number
two in play A, Right. All right, this is the last, last part of the cards. Okay. You played the
entire first session. The second session,
you're going to repeat the same thing, but we have a little variation. In the end of
session number one, part number four number, come back and play
exactly the same thing. In this part we have
a variation you play string string number one, opening number ending. Okay, bit different. Be careful, check the table, memorize. After this part, you repeat
exactly the same thing. The embellishing part
D with the basing F sharp that we have learned exactly the same thing and
we kind of finish the song. But you have a new
part, of course, slash in this part we
don't have guitar, okay, just the
other instruments. But you can play with the
nine if you prefer, okay? But you have this guitar
lick that is very nice. It's hammer, pure
fast with extortion. More rock and roll it. Open string, open string, Remember strings
number 3.4 Okay. You have after you can play a few variations of this
chart with the bass in, okay? Sounds very nice as well. You can play with the Basing it like this is
really strange, isn't it? But this part is open
improvisation as well. Okay, the next part
you're going to play very different
a minor chord. But instead of the basis
here, play open string. It's a very nice chord pressure. We have this and we
go to the chorus. Okay? The part that
everybody is the part, my favorite part of the song. So as you can see,
we have decor. And come back and repeat
this three times, okay? Remember about this?
In the last part we have a finger part. The new session are under pressure, so we have, this is
the first session you're going to play
your shape like this number 13.2 okay. And you play this 4323. Okay. Remember about my right
hand to memorize this port. Okay. Next part looks difficult because you have a new guitar shape, but it's not. You're going to play
strings number two. The 12 repeat the same pattern, but this time frat
number two, right? So in the last part
is a new pattern. So strings is a kind
of a, isn't it? But you play strings
number 5321. Yeah, you play our ending
open string framber two, string number three. All right. Be careful of this
part as well because all the peaking sessions
are very tricky. Be careful and you're
going to play this three time as well and play Court. Put the base of court
this case, all right? And you're going to
play with the basin as well, Pmt. All right? So you're going to
repeat this a few times and finally
finish the song. The short. This is the last
lesson of our course. I hope you enjoy all my lessons. Remember that you can watch
less over and over again. In my opinion, it's important
to rewatch all the lessons, especially the
practical lessons with the rhythm patterns
and rhythm exercise. Remember that learn
Music Take time. Okay? It's not easy. It's not one thing that you can do like this very fast, okay? Develop this rhythm session, rhythm patterns, the rhythms of your right hand.
It's not easy. It's a little bit complicated.
So it takes time.
