@@claudiocruzat8777 Being too young definitely isn't the problem, believe me! In the 90s with the likes of Oasis it just became strumming distorted guitar, which is about the least imaginative playing imaginable. I lost interest in pop/rock music in the 90s because of that sort of thing. If you can suggest some good (by which I mean imaginative and interesting) 90s rhythm guitar then I'll happily go and listen. 🙂
In my experience, playing a rhythm part has always been pretty simple. Now, since I was a dancer from elementary school to the end of highschool the concepts of feeling and being a part of the groove were never tricky but soloing on guitar is something so uniquely guitar because you’re trying to sing with your hands and it’s almost something that needs to be perfect to be acceptable.
This is exactly what I do. I keep seeing educators teach different strumming patterns but always felt like there's no one pattern that fits all. Thanks for this, your videos are amazing, I subscribed immediately!
I think patterns are super neat as a mega beginner but they will really start to hinder your progress. It's best to learn about rhythms and time signatures later on.
@@junker154 yes! I've been so confused myself thinking "Is this the right pattern for a song". And even people generally expect you to copy the rhythm if you're covering a song but I think experimentation matters more.
If you ever watch a good bass player play the guitar, you'll notice how different they play. Bass players, being an extension of the drummer, naturally play guitar as an extension of the drummer. It's fascinating!
I'm a bassist who views the bass as a pivot instrument. Most of the time it's following the drums, but if the drums are neither too tight (phil rudd) or too loose (keith moon), and there's a gap in the melody, feel free to dive into the melodic hole. Good bassists should be able to improvise given a key and a mode. If you're in a band and the main songwriter doesn't want you to occasionally take over lead duties, it's just not as fun. Be Stiff by Devo is one of my favorite "bass as it should be played" songs: Gerald Casale is doing the classic 12_4, except when the melody gets really busy, he gets busy with it.
@@LeBassiveOG Kick, tom, no snare is the basics. The responsibility of the bassist, to quote James Brown is "to give me the one., as in 1-2-3-4". I lay off the three if I can; if I can't, I walk over it, like I'll play two eighth notes over the three to deemphasize it. I dunno, it's sort of a matter of feel.
This is why when people are used to "strumming patterns" I try to get them to count the patterns out loud to understand what beats they're strumming on. Then I ask what beats the drums in the same song play on. Then which of those beats are kick vs. snare. Great exercise to get people to break free of thinking in terms of strumming patterns and be able to play any song by feel instead.
My timing sucks, at least I can't play to a metronome for very long since my mind wanders. When my mind wanders it goes to where where the song feels to be. I like your comment.
@@IGarrettI they're the 2 drums in a drum kit that, at the most fundamental level, help you find the groove in a song. The kick, or bass drum, is the deep, low sounding one that typically hits on the 1s and 3s in popular music. The snare has more brightness as is typically on the 2s and 4s. So you can strum an acoustic guitar as though the bass strings are the "kick" and the treble strings are the snare.
@@badgercheck my timings sucks like my strumming but I'm beginning to develop this feel where I just tune in and play with really knowing the pattern because few sec/min it can change a little. I don't know if it good or bad but I certainly like this idea of dynamic strumming and will try practicing like this .
Dude this really opened up my mind to some stuff I've been doing. I've been doing this without even realizing there's a system with it. And my drummer had known from the start that I had been doing that.
As a beginner/intermediate guitar player, but experienced drummer, I’ve always done this. In the noob areas of the interweb that I frequent people often ask "what’s the strumming pattern" and it’s always sounded like the wrong question to ask.
Thanks for this video. I've been a guitarist for 30 years, and although I can play rhythm very well, I've never heard it explained like this. Game-changer! 🤯
Ha! Have to show this to my first guitar teacher! Thanks for the video! I am an experienced percussionist/drummer. I started leajrning to play the guitar about 3 years ago. I was instructede in the regulrar UDUD strumming, but I always tended to play «dynamically» as you call it. That is what a drummer/percussioner «hears» 😊 But I was corrected. When I started to play guitar on stage, I saw that the audience reacted much more positively to drum-style-strumming. And it has also helped me learn finger-style and chord/melody arrangements later on, and to add arpeggios etc. into rythm guitar.
Hey Andrew! Thank You for making this short but very Important & Effective insight "Lesson" on Rhythm or also on how to APROACH replicating a Drum-Kit Style on the Guitar + of course mentioning what´s absolutely important like (in my own personal opinion) the Timing you absolutely have to get down at some point as a growing Guitarist/ Guitar Player and Musician. No matter if on a Professional basis oder just as a Hobby for yourself. As long as it sounds Musical (that´s what I personally think there) you are definetily on the right way to become better in all sorts of rhytmic playing. Thats my experience from all moments of success and of course also from all failures or error-like attempts I´ve had since I started playing Guitar in March 2023! So yeah, just thank you for that point of View you focused on in this Video and I personally would absolutely love to see more content with similar topics, if you would make Videos about it :D Greetings & have a nice Day! ~Det
As a beginner I find a lot of value in your videos. Even if some of the lessons are more advanced than my skill level I can still apply something or take something away from them. Thank you! 🎸
I had the same issue of not completely understanding the lessons as a beginner but I came back to the videos after a year and the rest fell into place.
Hey Andrew, just wanted to say thank you for your videos and content. I'm the rhythm guitarist in my band and I believe that rhythm is the most important ingredient in every song, so your videos are very very useful. Keep it up!
Very good advice, and exactly what i was lookin for to improve my strumming! Basic strumming patterns are starting to feel... flat. I think they are useful as a beginner, basic strumming in time is a good first step, but after a while it is time to bring some dimension to it!
Andrew, you just gave me the greenlight. I’m learning guitar and have been struggling to keep the Strom pattern that some tutorials are teaching. My strumming is instinctively wanting to follow the drum pattern but I didn’t think I was right to do so it sounds better to me, it is more natural at least for me. Thanks for sharing great lesson.
Nice lesson. I've been separating the low notes (E,A,D) from the high notes (g, b, e), with variations for awhile. Along with striking the root note before the full strum, IF it serves the song. I have never tried that muted practice, but I'll give it a go. Thanks
Love this! I used to be a drummer but now play acoustic guitar so I’ve been doing this type of thing all along it just came natural to me. I am going to subscribe and see what else you have available. Thanks
Great lesson, thank you so much. I've been working on this topic recently but your breakdown made things much clearer. New sub here. And even if that wasn't the case, the Baum Wingman in the corner already convinced me this is a player worth following ;0)
Very interesting technique, sounds really good with drums, i started on drums when i was 14, so i could relate very easily.but should be very helpful to us all for rythum guitar keep up the good work
Thank you for this video on dynamic strumming. I try to vary my strumming by exploring different strums including percussive guitar. Please do more videos on this topic of dynamic strumming. I feel this is a great topic which would benefit all guitar players playing all genres. Craig Ewinger
Listen to "Sunday Papers" by Joe Jackson to understand what he means by high hat and snare on guitar. A good example of this is on that song. It''s an old song but shows what he means.
I’ve always strummed the way you suggested but never made the connection between how I play and the drum pattern. When someone would ask how I figured out the strumming pattern I couldn’t really answer other than to say I just sort of feel it. Thanks for answering a question I didn’t know how to ask.
I think the same. Ever. Before specializing in being a good Guitar leader full of technique, we must explore and master the rhythm, according to the beat, so as not to be just a banal scout guitarist. Excelent vídeo and lesson. Bravo🖤👏👏👏👏🤘🤘🎼🎼
The game changes when you can hear the spaces between the core beat in any time signature much better than the usual cave-man routines, syncopation is where it's at instead and the ability to use the mute spect via the side of the strumming hand to alter the value itself of the chord's audible aspect, your emphasising the chording hand here, it's a combination of both hands operating in sync or deliberate syncopation or unity if desired or a combination in or out of sync as wished for with dynamic application, I've known for around 30 years there's a killer drummer percussionist sleeping in the strumming hand, arm AND wrist, it takes time and your OWN ear to activate it.....nice vid!
Another thing to be cognizant of as a rhythm player, tine / volume. I was the only guitar in a funk soul band the sing was always busting on me that I was too loud. Now I was playing a Les Paul through a fender Princeton Feverb. Amp on 2.5 / 3, guitar volume on 3.5. What was the problem? Ok, I finally solved it buy using lighter gauge strings, using z softer pick (round side), lowering the pick ups a bit and sometimes strumming with my fingers. I was muting anyway. Essentially I softened my sound and oddly enough the “snare” strum stood out more. BTW it took me more than 2 years to figure that out.
Dude you’re absolutely on it right hand is the key that’s where the feel comes from that’s where the person using the same chords as everyone else tells they’re own story
I do this on the bass, even in cover songs, I just think it's best to the song, just play the bass like it was a dumm kit most of the times. And it just feels right and good to listening too.
Mad skills fella! …. (old guy advice) please run with whatever style you absolutely love, …. but just make sure it’s really, REALLY smart and sharp as f! …. go crush it and best of luck along with.
But if im playing in a band with a drummer, does this dynamism not eventually copy the drummer and somehow maybe the guitar spec gets lots in the who spectrum?
This is a great video for rythym players. All I've done for 35 years mostly is rhythm as I love it and never had much interest in lead parts. I never use strumming patterns intended to be used. In my opinion they are just there because something has to be and they majorly restrict style. But if you can feel the drums and hear the vocals you can do much more, and easily than whatever that stock pattern gives you.
this reminded me of a video where Dave Grohl explained how he wrote everlong, and he basically said he sees the guitar as if it were a drum kit, since he is a former drummer if you pay attention to everlong's intro, its exactly how you described
I’m about to reach 70 and still gigging professionally as a sideman.I’ve basically maintained a career out of being able to lock in with the drummer. I’ve always felt that was my strength that made up for the shortcomings in my playing.
Just go listen to the band “her’s”… best guitar parts I’ve ever heard across all decades of music. Dudes were brilliant. And the lead singer/guitar player was actually firstly a drummer
That was quite helpful. Been learning for a few years and struggling with the rhythm. Cant find an instructor on the island I live on so have been learning online. This should help quite a bit. Looking forward to checking out more of your lessons, got yourself another subscriber. 🎸🙂
Hey man, keep at it with bar chords, they take a while to get right, but they give you such a great dynamic sound, then when you've got it, you can learn the CAGED system which is so so handy 🎉
I always knew drum, bass and rhythm guitar make up the rhythm section of the band (otherwise known as the engine room). It is obvious the dynamic between the drummer and bass guitarist, they are two pairs in a pod. But this was the first time the rhythm guitar and drum relationship was demonstrated to me. Just great! I love the rhythm section because it just freaking grooves baby!
if you could do more content like this, that'd be awesome. Might be your niche. More samples of how to hear and adapt to drum beats. With this video you were attacking a huge field. I'd even buy a course that teaches this stuff for real life. Nice share.

I wish there was more out there about rhythm-playing. It's 99% about soloing, which is at most 5% of what most guitarists do.

This is such a great way to approach rhythm guitar. As a drummer first, it has translated VERY well into me being a proficient guitar player quickly.

The best rhythm guitarist I’ve listened to is Johnny Marr, a master of this style
Jangle pop overall I think has much better rhythm playing than any other type of music. Marr is a master of jangle playing.
Greatest rhythm guitarist of all time is the late Malcolm Young from AC/DC. RIP Malcolm 🎸
