Schott Music Rhythm On Guitar

With Rhythm or Guitar, Frank Doll, guitarist and instrumental teacher, presents a textbook dedicated entirely to the rhythms and grooves of guitar playing. After all, the rhythm guitarist has the important job of setting a constant tempo. This has to be learned, since a solid foundation is essential for good ensemble playing.

In addition to the rhythm guitar, the book also deals with the rhythm in the guitar solo, because this also has a high importance. And to inspire with solid timing and versatile patterns, the edition focuses entirely on the right hand. Here, both basic patterns and complex combinations are discussed and illustrated with many examples. Exercises ensure the direct implementation into practice and make the learning not too theoretical.

The learning material is kept easy to moderately difficult, which makes it especially suitable for slightly advanced guitarists. They can build on solid basic knowledge and advance and improve their technique in rhythm and even solo playing. Also a good choice for lessons.
