Combining complex rhythms Guitar Lesson – Step 6

These rhythms are more complicated than what you practiced in the previous two steps!

Combine Rhythms For More of A Challenge

Let’s combine the rhythms we’ve been practising using more combinations.

These are more difficult, simply because there are more of them.

First, we play chromatically, and then we sweep. Here they are as rhythm slashes.

These will take a while, just be patient and make sure it’s a daily routine.

When you feel comfortable, move on to the final two steps where we again work on what we all know is our deepest desire, to play really fast!

The chromatic and sweeping exercises will sort out any problems you have with synchronizing your left and right hand as you play with a pick.

Take the Chromatic & Sweeping Course and you’ll will improve your accuracy, build speed, as well as train you in reading rhythms better.
