Timings for the SoundCloud audio version of Rhythm Guitar Lesson 1b:
00:00:22 Using Eartrainer to practise the rhythm of a piece separated from the melody
00:01:08 A simple idea for practising rhythm
00:01:22 Starting with a bar of 4/4 and then throwing in some 8th notes
00:02:28 Using the offbeat and how to play challenging rhythms
00:02:58 Riff from Human by the Killers and timing it right
00:03:40 The 8th note at the beginning of the riff that isn't heard
00:05:10 Sing the rhythms - do it in your head
00:05:20 Sixteenth notes starting on the offbeat can be tricky
00:05:43 Start of our Funk mini study
00:06:39 Yngwie's quote: "groove or die"
00:07:21 Right hand playing, percussive hits in funk music
00:07:51 Sixteenth notes with accents on the beat
00:08:26 Make the right hand consistent, lock in with drums / metronome
00:11:12 Demo of the same funk groove with and without the percussive notes
00:13:00 All this kind of practise helps to instil a sense of pulse
00:13:57 What does a drummer do when he is performing fills?
00:14:09 Demo of acting like a drummer
00:15:18 Playing funk solos in this way is a great way to practise
00:17:00 Dan's advice to listen to Cory Wong - will share in our show-notes
00:19:31 There is life beyond power chords
Here is the second half of the lesson: Dan gives us some reminders for your practice and how to play 16th funk strumming patterns with confidence and so that they sound groovy. Dan demonstrates what we’re aiming for when developing an inner pulse through a funk improvisation in which he mirrors what a drummer is thinking when they support a funky track with fills and mini solos. I have been adding to my own new practice regime lots of metronome work based on what we will discuss next time.

Hey everyone! We are really pleased to be able to share the great news that TrueFire – the most excellent, expansive and extensive online lessons platform – have decided to sponsor our podcast until Christmas. Their product is so well thought out and educational that Dan and I are confident that you will find it an inspirational and valuable addition to your guitar learning arsenal. Sign up and receive 14 days to decide before you wish to pay for your subscription, without even needing to enter your card details. You really have nothing to lose and a world of knowledge and skills to gain.
Our lesson today is about gaining some go to and rehearsed sequences and ways of travelling around the fretboard between the different pentatonic patterns. There are some great ideas within on breaking out of the pentatonic box and developing some methods of linking the scale patterns as you are improvising. The benefit of rehearsing these sequences is that you can practise them and woodshed them to be able to deliver them at speeds which will really add some rhythmic fairy dust and exude the ‘wow’ factor.

00:02:16 First improvisation
00:06:29 Review of last episode
00:07:24 Introduction to today's podcast
00:08:20 Getting away from box shapes and scale patterns

00:11:24 Look at strings in 3 pairs - E and A, D and G, B and E
00:12:28 Mention of Tom Quayle
00:13:41 Limit your lick to two strings then repeat in three octaves
00:14:04 Example of this idea
00:15:43 Full Em scale with 3 notes on E string, then 4 notes on A x3
00:16:26 The Em scale over two strings, repeated
00:17:24 Em pentatonic same idea: [E, G, A / B, >D]
00:18:00 Repeat x4 on these strings: EA, AD, DG, BE
00:19:34 2nd Jam over the track
00:24:01 End of improv
00:24:32 The useful logic of the layout of notes on a piano (vs the guitar)
00:25:09 Use fret markers as guides
00:27:21 Minor pentatonic with an A root note
00:30:02 Reminders of scales
00:31:01 How to travel from position 4 to position 1?
00:31:20 Going through position 5
00:31:41 Linking patterns together
00:31:58 Hammer on two strings, return to the second note in 5s
00:32:46 Carry the sequences up on the two middle strings
00:34:01 Use the 3 notes sequence to transfer positions
00:35:39 Slow breakdown
00:36:41 Connect using the four note pattern sequence
00:37:52 Going down in fours on the top E and B string
00:38:53 You can do this same sequence but in reverse
00:39:42 The 'trick bag'
00:40:55 Different keys
00:41:19 Phrygian solo ideas
00:42:02 Dan identifying the plateau which may come from getting stuck in the Blues pattern
00:42:20 Extend the time spent going from A to B by sequencing
00:42:43 Sequence across patterns to extend the duration
00:43:22 Be melodic but be able to extend your phrases by using sequences
00:44:30 To develop your own sound develop flairs, styles and ways of negotiating the fretboard
00:45:49 The wow factor: Joe Bonamassa and developing playing full of sequences and symmetry
00:46:19 How to make things symmetrical
00:48:17 Guthrie Govan: Creative Guitar
00:49:04 Summary: 1) duplicate patterns on pairs of strings 2) learn sequences to connect patterns
00:50:35 Isolate the sequence
