    Here's a pretty interesting lesson for all of you! This lesson covers the style or rhythm guitar patterns of Paul Gilbert when he was with Mr. Big. What I love with his work with the band was mostly his rhythm guitar patterns. He would do stuff that no other guitar player wouldn't do in their particular style of rhythm guitar playing.

    This is my opinion only but it was his unique rhythmic patterns that added more style to the band's sound.
    That's why I took notice of this and found a way to put it into lesson and here it is!

    Just don't forget to take this lesson as well as others slowly but religiously. Just make sure that you not only memorize the patterns but you understand them as well. So take care and enjoy!
