Rhythm Guitar 1 This is the tab and a link to the audio file for a short lesson on rhythm guitar. It just shows a couple of possibilities working around a much used chord sequence of G, D, Am, outlined below Chord: G D | Am

Beat: 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4

This shows 2 bars each with 4 beats (4/4 time). The first bar is split by two chords where the first chord G gets 2 beats and the second chord D gets 2 beats. The second bar has only one chord, A minor, which has 4 beats. I plan to expand this lesson with a bit more theory and a look at a finger-style approach to the same progression, so I wont go into too much theory just now, but I hope you find this useful. There are many good guides to tab on the net, so I wont expand except to say that down arrows mean strum up and up arrows mean strum down. In the examples below it’s also a good idea to make the whole block chord even when this isn’t shown in the tab as I’ve only shown the strings that I’ve played in the audio examples The accompanying audio mp3 file (1.6mb) can be found here: Rhythm Guitar 1 Audio If you would like to download the audio, and are using a firefox browser, right click the link and selsct save link when prompted.
