At the request of several students, today we will be seeing a rhythmic lesson of Hard Rock!

The chords are Dm F Dm C G Dm, and I am adding some notes to the chords to make it sound more interesting. I hope this lesson will give you some cool ideas if you have a chord progression want to spice it up!

This lesson is a rhythm guitar study for your right hand in a pop/rock style. The idea is that rhythm acoustic guitar mimic with accents the rhythm and the feel of the drum mixing in one part the three main elements: Bass Kick, snare and hi-hat, creating an accompaniment that it's really "in the pocket"

In this part we analyze the chorus and we can listen to the complete song.

Use of secondary 7th chord and modal exchange. The idea is to not think just in one key at the moment of the composition, but to keep an open mind.

Rhythm patterns using a crunch sound! This type of playing is often used in a pop-rock context. The strumming is quite similar to the drum rhythm. With your right hand you can play lower strings while the drum is playing the kick drum, and you can play higher strings for the snare drum.

I start with the simple chord shapes, and then I use the same chords in different variations/voicings. Sometimes I add the 7 4 2 degree so the piece always sounds like its developing, even though I'm using the same chords.

Learn to create a melody based on a major chord progression.

Improve your fretboard knowledge and chord visualisation with this triad progression.
