   Hi everybody, in this 3rd lesson of "I Got Rhythm Guitar", we moved on something completely different, we will left for a little the rock/metal genre, to explore some great blues, next lesson will be about Latin Rhythms and Bossa Nova.

These Lesson Will Improve

Right Hand Coordination
Blues Knowledge
The Use of Left hand Thumb






Robben Ford Blues Style
-----------------------

This rhythm study is in the style of Robben Ford, and will set you in a virtual band situation. Playing with an hammond player or key in general, you have to create a complementary guitar parts that will melt with the other instruments, with out interfere with the piano/key part. What we have here is more a rhythm riff over a 12 bar blues, than a real strumming chord part, that will be transposed and adapted along the neck, to match the chord progression. First Study the riff in G than try to transpose it all over the neck incorporating it in your rhythm riff bag. Pay attention to the main G7 voicing, played in an un-usual way (but very common in blues), using the left hand thumb to fret the bass note, this technique will free a finger allowing chord embellishment, in this case the G7 to Gsus7 fill.


Recommended Listening
---------------------
With out doubt...Robben Ford I really enjoyed his last release "Truth",
and just to name a few Albert Collins, Albert King, B.B. King


Pro Tips
--------

Aim the right hand to pick portion of a chord to create rhythm riff is a techniques that need time and practicing to be mastered, start very slowly trying to make small and controlled the movement of the right hand.

Nighthawk Q and E denote how long you are playing the note for so Quarter Notes and Eighth notes in this case.

Great lesson Joe also.
