Guys like Rhoads, Lynch, Jake E Lee, Page and many more did amazing rhythm patterns too - Yeah, I'm snowed in on 80's hardrock/metal and late 70's too for that matter Can we be tought rhythm guitar, blues, rock, hard rock, heavy metal. Perhaps in that order. Ok, some might say "Blues. That's not difficult!" - But it's all about how you do things, right? It's not all slow barré chords :-) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

And other rythms for that matter. but metal rules. and you know it. EDIT: just wanted to add, for even more persuasive force, that sometimes the backing track riffs are almost as interesting as the lead over in some of the lessons here. Might be 'cause I enjoy playing those rythms almost as much as the solos though . Guess some of us find rythm possibly more interesting than solos You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Look at Exodus for exampe mainly on the rythm part for deathamphetamine, that thrash riff is actually better than the solo for the song. The thing about that song is that the riff is used as any other thrash riffs, using low E in different picking style, it just fascinates me and i could never do that, so yes metal rhythm would be a huge plus if you guys put up videos.

I would also want it to cover some more funky rhythm stylings too, just so I'm well versed. I can't seem to get that funky strumming sound in my playing and not sure where to go for help.

Feb 7 2007, 02:33 AM	GMC:er Posts: 45 Joined: 8-January 07 From: Maryland, USA	I need to know the logic to figuring out good chords to use for a given key - say A for example. Do you just use the circle of fifths? But even so, it can be more than I-IV-V chords combined with a few riffs right? How do you know what extra chords work? Maybe I mean not just a standard progression throughout the total song, but using multiple chords in a single measure or two for a riff like effect.

Maybe I mean not just a standard progression throughout the total song, but using multiple chords in a single measure or two for a riff like effect. All the 7 chords in a given key will fit and sound okay, but certain chords fit better than others in a certain musical situation(Such as I IV V in rock). The best thing to do is figure what chords are available in the key you want to work in and then try them out. such as for Amaj scale, its: A Bm C#m D# F Gm G#dim Remember you can use individual notes from the chords too to spice it up(Which really goes back to our scales) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Feb 7 2007, 03:34 AM	GMC:er Posts: 45 Joined: 8-January 07 From: Maryland, USA	So you are saying that for example,with the A minor pentonic scale you can use chords that have roots that are the notes used in the scale to create a chord-riff pattern?

Simply Speaking - Yes The Am Pentatonic scale(root of Am) is the relative minor(6th note of the C Major Scale) of the C major scale (The pentatonic just has 2 of the notes removed - Penta meaning 5 notes) So if you look at the chords that fit into the C maj scale(Or Am scale for that matter- they are the same chords, just in a different order), you get the chords of: tonic II III IV V VI VII Cmaj Dm Em Fmag Gmaj Am Bdim Do you see the Am in the sixth position(known as 6th degree) - thats the minor pentatonic for this particular scale. All of the chords above will work with the Am pentatonic scale, although some will sound better than others , as when doing a chord progression some of the chords sound better together for certain styles ( I IV V for rock for example) . So to create a chord-riff pattern you can mix the chords from the scale along with the individual notes of the Am pentatonic.
