Suddenly, I didn't feel lost improvising and I felt I have something to say musically - like a little story that actually makes sense. Plus, each lick I knew could be altered rhythmically and get a new colour. What are your favourite rhythmic phrases/groupings that you enjoy using when improvising? I really think this topic could help build a little "cheat sheet" of phrases. I'm very fond of groupings of 5, btw You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I recorded a little take using groupings of 5, just to illustrate how using a simple concept can take you to new and exciting places. I tried to make them more musical than sequencial, so if you count the notes, you can find them groupings all over the place. Groupings_of_5.mp3 ( 957.34K ) Number of downloads: 80 It's very important once you learn a new interesting lick to analzye it rhthmically too and try to incorporate it into your phrases as subtle as can be - this is another thing I learned from the great Scott Henderson You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Anyone is more than welcome to share Exactly bro! In the dawn of men, rhythm was the first form of musical expression - think about the primitive humans - I am certain that they first learned how to band a stick on another stick or on a rock and that's how rhythm appeared.

It really shouldn't be ignored at all The funny thing is, when we were small (maybe it was your case as well) we all wanted to be lead guitarists, NOT IN ANY circumstance rhythm guitarist - because being a rhythm guitarist means you are not able to solo, right?

Find the formulas that other players involve in their lead playing - dudes like Nuno Bettencourt and Al Di Meola - man, such rhythmic playing in leads!
