I think it was Jeff Beck who said that playing to a click is a great idea but that to get a super tight internal sense of time put a click on at 40bpm, (yep that slow!) and play any one note over and over with the click.Įnsure that each pluck lands in perfect time with each click. That, you will agree, is crazy, so today’s top ten tips lesson is on how to improve your rhythm. I have a bookshelf full of guitar books I have acquired over 20 years and although all of them have some really useful and interesting ideas and lessons, only about 1% of the content of these books actually covers rhythm. There is also a massive emphasis on melody especially learning scales, but not enough on how to apply cool, sexy, tight and punchy grooves to the above. Why is it then that 99% of guitar resources and teachers never teach much on rhythm? Things are getting a little better these days but there is a crazy emphasis on harmony and the things this covers such as chord playing, voicing of chords, and triads. Well, all are pretty important but as rhythm covers everything in music you will ever do, I usually say rhythm is the most important.

Harmony covers things such as chords and when more than two notes are being played at the same time. ![]()
