Hi! Nice video! That style sound very cool, the musicians are amazing, they have an awesome groove. The guitar player is mostly playing palm muted melodies, that reminds me a bit to surf music.
Let me suggest you some lessons that are related to that style of playing: (not exactly the style of music, but some vibes and also close techniques) https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Around...ibbean-Calypso/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Around...orld-Polynesia/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/around...ld-greek-style/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...le-lead-guitar/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/al-di-meola-style/ Check all these lessons and let me know what you think!

African music is so happy and joyful. Very simple 3 chord progressions. Beautiful harmonies. Complex rhythms. I don't blame you for wanting to learn to play like this.

What he's playing is really more of the west African style. Check out guitar players from Mali, Ghana and Nigeria (Fela, King Sunny Ade, etc.).
Also this book and CD is excellent in out lining the 'basic' styles. http://www.amazon.com/African-Guitar-Style...o/dp/1882146913 -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

You guys are awesome, ive never met people so eger to help me get good at anything. I will consider all the things you all have said, thank you all so much
 will upload my videos for your listerning pleasure soon as i get a few licks under my belt  generaly most of the songs fall into 145 progresions with really good rhythm, consider this song starting at 1:30s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59C5nneXhQM i noticed they like sixteenth note(atleast that what i think) picking rhytms aswell, maybe south african should also be one of the lessons for the around the world section, i know i would love it. are there some fast picking single note rhythm lessons i can checkout aswell? |

Here are a few funky lessons that feature single notes rhythms. They are very good for developing groove and when playing funk and especially single notes, you need to be really tight. Usually there are lot of dead notes and 16th notes bursts added to make them sound percussive. Lessons (not really on a fast tempo but tricky to get down in the correct groove/timing) : * https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...le-note-funkin/ * https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Funking-Single-Notes/ * https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/single-notes-funk-blues/ -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Jul 28 2013, 01:31 PM) Right! Aside from Bogdan's suggestions - I would say that you should work on building the consistency of playing muted 16th notes over 4/4 time signature bars. This will improve your groove feel and timing, so try playing 4 16th notes over each beat in a 4/4 bar, while muting all the strings with your left hand and while accentuating each first note in each group of 4. If you have difficulties, let me know and I can show you in a little video That video woiuld be great Cosmin, in the meantime i managed to get one player to record me a sample, see the attachment, the rhyth and the lead parts are separated, rhythm on the left ear and lead on the right ear
