I would love a whole series based on the strumming hand alone and technique to just keep that motor running. As someone aspiring to be a solid rhythm player this lesson alone has helped so so much!

Yep - terrific idea... Speaking from advanced intermediate beginner land (😂) - it is tricky for me to figure out keeping the strumming hand pendulum going and the rhythm actually dictated by the rhythm of the muting / fretted chords from the fretting hand. I can sort of get a "groove" with it at times but I don't think I have an efficient practice strategy for it...

Did you know that the Beat Buddy ( and by extension many if not all cutting edge drum boxes) does not play a Bo Diddley beat -- or for that matter have a dedicated Rock n Roll / Rockabilly beat list. I even went to the extensive libraries to find the beats I use. No dice (I'm cancelled? lol) Two beat Train time is best found under Polka. Thanks for keeping hope live. gheesh

This is EXACTLY what I have been searching for. I played for years and only concentrated on playing lead. My rhythm was never there.

Hi Eric, re: your note at the beginning about more experienced players finding these things easy. As one of them I often find it helpful to go back to basics, if I’m struggling with a particular song or riff. You never know when you might pick up on something you’ve missed or simply a new approach to an already acquired skill. I would never consider myself above learning something simple. I was with my guitar teacher in a cafe recently. While we were waiting to be served, a young guy came in with a guitar case. Not missing an opportunity my teach said ‘hey guitarist, here’s my card hit me up if you fancy’ to which the guy replied ‘I’ve been playing 15 years, I don’t think there’s anything you can teach me’ needless to say we beat the shit out of him. (Not really)

Thanks for teaching what you do the way you do! My mantra in this order: It’s not what the note, it’s when the note. When in Rome, pick a chord tone. Scales are colorful tones adjacent to a chord. Bonus: if you want to play a phrase for me, consult the melody.

Random question, but when and where did you get that guitar? I remember playing a refinished late 1960's Mustang in that exact color at the Music Go Round in Kenosha around 2012-2013. I have a picture of me with it somewhere. I still wonder what happened to that guitar 10 years later. It would be wild if it was the same one.

Just realised where Wilko Johnson (Dr Feelgood) developed his ''unique'' style. Combo of Bo Diddley and a guitarist called Mick Green (Johnny Kidd & the Pirates) who taught him to use short riffs in amongst the strumming - apparently this guy also influenced Townsend. It is simple and consistent down-up but like Nile Rodgers the genius part is the damping and the subtle hammer-ons that create the groove.
