Kristofer Dahl26th October 2009Very cool first lesson Adrian! This should not only be useful for beginners but also for solo guitarists (like me) who haven't yet spent enough time on their rhythm chops.
Welcome to GMC once again! ![]()
P.S Adrians intro thread can be found here.

Adrian Figallo26th October 2009thanks for the feedback guys, i feel more than welcome here

And yeah that's true, even for the most technical guitar player, it's always important to focus on the very basic things, rhythm is the roots of music ![]()

Alexiaden9326th October 2009Wow ! Awesome lesson, and sweet guitar !
Is your bridge pickup a Seymour Duncan Hot Rail SHR-1 ? Having heard the sound your guitar makes, I am definitely getting one (two actually) of those !
Welcome to GMC ! ![]()
TheOldOnes26th October 2009If I ever thought there was a mandatory lesson for beginners (and more advanced players), this would definitely be it! I suspect coupling this lesson with learning with a metronome could very well be one of the turning points for turning true beginners into budding guitar players!
Fran26th October 2009Excellent lesson Adrian ![]()
Adrian Figallo26th October 2009Thanks guys
!
@vampire18, what do you mean
?
@Alexiaden93, thanks man, well it's a Dimarzio Chopper, i prefer Dimarzio over SD, not sure why, just make my ears happy.
If you are getting a chopper for the bridge, i would recommend a cruiser or some "area" for your neck, two choppers can sound too similar and i personally like the neck to have a little less output/gain than the bridge.
Adrian Figallo26th October 2009Woa thanks TheOldOnes and fran!
maharzan26th October 2009Nice Axe man.. I m jealous.
Whats the amp? Nice sound.
Dylan Yzewin26th October 2009ooh are you a teacher on gmc

Dylan
newguyatgmc26th October 2009Nice lesson and cool sound too.
Adrian Figallo26th October 2009hey maharzan thanks!, well it's guitar rig 4 sounding here, guitar -> tube pre amp -> audio interface -> guitar rig 4 - cubase 4 or pro tools
And dylan, that would be a little hard cause it was an improvisation, i don't really even remember how to play it ![]()
Adrian Figallo26th October 2009thanks newguy!
MigeZ26th October 2009Cool lesson

Adrian Figallo26th October 2009thanks guys, i think it's very cool that advanced players take the time to really master the easy stuff

welcome to GMC
Emir Hot16th November 2009Great beginner stuff. I like this one
Adrian Figallo8th December 2009thanks guys!
Kristian Hyvarinen15th December 2010This is great, just by watching the main video I already have lots of new ideas for riffing! Adrian, you rock!
Adrian Figallo1st September 2011great have to have this one featured
.

Let's look at some rhythmic variations to improve your tempo keeping/switching, and most importantly: to train your right hand.
Almost the entire lesson is played on two power chords, the power chord of E and the power chord of A.
In the end we got two very basic rhtyhm licks.
Enjoy the lesson and start working on that right hand!
