I’ve been teaching people how to play guitar for over 15 years and noticed a common theme among most of my students. They can play some songs, know some scales, and most can do some lead work. The problem comes when it’s time to play to play rhythm and lead with a metronome or a drummer. While metronomes are great they can be more difficult to start with and to be honest, a little boring. That’s where your new drummer I’ve found comes into play (pun intended)!
Jamming with a solid drummer will have a huge impact on your ability, It will literally improve every aspect of your guitar playing!! Want to be able to lay down a fat rhythm groove or bust out a perfectly pocketed solo? Then, understanding how to play with a drummer is crucial! Don't get me wrong, learning to play your favorite song is great; but playing that song while locked in with the rhythm section, now we're talking!
If you've ever wanted to play in a band, being able to lay it down with a drummer will get you the gigs! However, showing up to play with a drummer if you never have can feel pretty intimidating. Just imagine, having another person stare at you while you fumble through trying to find your groove. So what do you do to prepare? Well, this is where the new lesson I’ve created comes in!
In this lesson, I’ll teach you the basic fundamentals on how to start playing with a drummer in the safety of your own home. We’ll start by just learning to listen for the drummer’s groove. Once you're able to hear the patterns being played on the hi hat, kick, and snare, you'll learn to sync your picking hand to the groove that the drummer is playing. This creates the feel that gets everybody on the dance floor in your local bar or head banging at the nearby stadium.
What if you just want to jam at home and never want to play with a real drummer or band? Not to worry, this lesson is perfect for that too. Just download the tracks to your computer and away you go! It’s even more fun with a bumping stereo, it will be about as close as you can get to the real thing! Fun for days!
Make sure to click the link above for the drum loop I’ve created that goes with the lesson so you can rock out too. Happy grooving!

This video made me realize that playing simple stuff with drums and good rhythm can sound much better than just playing really complex stuff alone
For sure!
I agree.
THIS is Extremely Important for timing AND Songwriting. You will be amazed at how good your timing will get. Eventually, you will be able to play on the beat, behind in the pocket or in front to create a rushed feeling. This will then Impregnate a Million original song Ideas in your head. Great Lesson and true. I must have written about 200 hundred songs off this crappy drum machine in the keyboard, I used to have. Just keep changing drum patterns and tempo. Metronome works better for drilling leads, scales and exercises from my experience anyway.
That's awesome :)
Only 18k views? This is probably one of the most important lessons for an aspiring guitarist. I bet if you changed the title to "One of the most important lessons for an aspiring guitarist" you'd get 1 M views before the end of the year. C'mon man, you've got the whole package except the proper hook to turn people onto your great content. Thanks for the lesson, you have no idea how important it was to me.
Haha! Thanks! Good idea. If you want to share the video that would be awesome! Thanks so much for watching!
Yeah same I was tryna learn this as well
Easy to change the title!
drummer here (not that advanced yet but still a drummer), and i can say that a drummer trully is there for a rhythm ,not all stuff on drums is easy but yeah i find it a really fun instrument and i absolutly love playing the drums, i hope that with time and pratice i can become much better than i am now
Wow, Papastache, you never cease to educate me right where I need it most. Like another comment said, I have been playing for 7 or 8 years but only in my bedroom with DVD courses like Brett's amazing stuff, but never played with a real drummer cause I've been kind of scared to. I have a looper pedal that I've hardly ever used, but after watching this video I dove in to using it and am having a blast playing along with the drum beats and I'm feeling a breakthrough coming on. Thank you so much Papastache, I will always be in your debt.
I feel what you're saying ..
I've just let my self grow organically, and for sure I'm behind the curve for the 2 decades of love and want I've got for the guitar...
A true Wannabe I am, or maybe im just a blurry scam with a busted left hand. I've still never learned to play mine or another person's song, but me and the cords we stumbled along.
Probably the most important lesson you've ever put up. No matter what your playing you MUST BE IN TIME or you are just making noise. It has always been painful for me to work on timing and not nearly as exciting as working out a solo BUT RHYHM is everything. Thanks for putting this up because those who practice this will be better musicians! Jimi was a monster rhythm player...
Thanks! Rhythm is king. And yes Jimi was the man and of corse my other favorite rhythm guy is Eddie how was an incredible rhythm guitar player! Thanks for watching!
Spot on again Brett. Here we are (many of us) fiddling with our lead, making it more complicated, but it still doesn't sound good, cos we forgot that it's got to rock!
Great lesson again, thanks
You are welcome! Thanks for checking it out!
This video is a huge help, i now find myself listening to my favorite songs and listening what the drummer is doing and trying to play with it.
Another thing im impressed by is you could have wrote a freaking song with that, just blows my freaking mind.
That is awesome Steven!
I really enjoyed watching this. Drums are really fun. :D
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!
great lesson I`m a senior dude trying to start playing again from my youth
so far the best rythm and strumming tutorial, thanks bro!
Wow thanks man!
I´ve been playing for so many years and learned so much in just a few minutes, Mnay thanks!
Awesome to hear! Thanks for checking it out!
Hi from France Papa ! That's what I used to say when I was playing in bands in my youth...a good drummer is the most important !
Fantastic as always! Definitely love to see lil tips and tricks like this that apply to universal situations! Keep em comin, brother, we're always listenin with rapt attention!
This reminds me of years ago when me, a bedroom player who's familiar with only backing tracks, met and jam with my drummer for the first time. He started drumming simple track like this one (he was a beginner but a very hard worker) in a rehearsal room and I had no idea what to play though I felt like I really should've played something, haha. Now I'm relearning to play and this lesson really helps.
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!
Simply superb. Cant imagin. It is so easy after your lesson . Thank you sooooooo much .
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
This comes naturally to some people. Which is why this video is so useful. The people for which this comes naturally to don’t realise how not obvious this is to the rest of us mere mortals! Well done for making this so accessible and easy to understand
Thanks Josh! Glad you liked the vid. More like this coming soon.
Anybody with an iPhone has access to garage band also. I have an irig, and I can get some awesome tones on my iPhone even
Didn't think about the phones. Good tip!
Its not the same as jaming with somebody. Different feeling more freedom and it makes u bond.
yes, totally want to see more stuff like this. Would like to learn more about what the drummer is actually doing musically and rhythmically.
Will do! Working on one today! Should be out soon!
EXCELLENT lesson!
Thanks!
Thanks Man! Even for those of us who have been playing a long time, going back over the basics is essential and plus...new songs seem to be just sitting there waiting for life. Thanks for being an inspiration man - keep on keeping on
Thank you sir! Glad I could help! Thanks for tuning in!
This is awesome, My Friend. So helpful - please keep doing what you're doing. Your lessons are great!
Thank you! Glad it helped you out! Thanks for watching!
The best teacher ever for me
It was so interesting and I have learnt from you. Thank you, do upload more.
Thanks! I will!
One of your best lessons. Made so simple, but it sounds so great.
Thanks! Glad you liked it! Gets addicting playing with those loops!
as simple as this lesson was you called it bud not many vids and it was really intuitive and inspiring for me thanks man
Thanks man! Glad it worked for ya.
I've noticed my rhythm hasn't been sounding real good when I listen to something I've recorded. Now I realize why. Thanks so much for this video. Anxious to get at it and fix my rhythm! You rock!
+Dana Mark Thank you sir! Thanks for checking it out! Happy jamming!
Dude your the best guitar teacher on you tube hands down! thanks so much...
Wow thanks man! Thanks for checking it out!
Brett another awesome lesson. You never stop amazing me. I finally stopped and thanked you for helping me get back into playing after playing everyday for along time every day until I lost my brother to an eggressive form of brain cancer and and I explained for the first time to anyone outside of my circle why I stopped playing and sold and gave away most of my collection of gear until finally realizing that it cost me alot of hard work and alot of time and money along with lots of good luck to build a nice selection of axes and amps, along with every pedal a guitarist dreams of. After watching this lesson I've learned there is 2 more things I want or need. Beat box or something close and a looper. But thanks again for a great lesson.
Thanks for checking out the lesson! Sorry, for your loss. If you have a mac garage band has an awesome drummer function! If not there are some great beat pedals out there. Digitech makes some great ones!!
Absolutely freaking awesome lesson..
Thanks Stach bro.
Thanks! Glad you liked it Robert!
Just happened to stumble upon this. Great video ! You just got a new subscriber !
Awesome! Thanks for the sub! Glad you liked it!
There is not many videos on this at all. Many vids are about playing with a metronome or telling you to count. I always thought this method would be the better way to go and youve given me many ideas, thanks.
Now on the other hand, I always come up with riffs on my own but have a heck of a time playing them over a beat. Do you have a video on that? Or suggestions, thanks
as always this man is an incredible player but even a better teacher
Wow thank you sir! Thanks for watching!
Played with another person for the first time today, wish I watched this before. I’m ready to get back and play again with what I learned! Definitely got a sub from me
Thanks for the sub!
I have played with many guatriast and bassist but never a drummer so when I tried it was extremely difficult at first .This video helped me alot .Thanks for the video man
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
Im a drummer and i like to explaun to new guitarists how to play with it, just keep the lows with lows and highs with highs! And inbetween that is your choice. Ive played with a few guitarists.... when they are new and i try to throw in a fill for the first time in a song they get thrown off so bad hahaha! I live playing with my cousin because he is a really talented guitarist
Thanks a lot for this one. Lots of great players out there but next to you being a genuine motivator it is really easy to follow your tutorials. That is quite difficult with many others. cheers from Berlin!
Thank you sir! Glad you liked the video!
Love this lesson. Much thanks.
You are welcome! Thanks for checking it out!
Real eye opener.
I love these practice song ideas you put out there.
Appreciate your content. Nice vids
Thanks Steve! Glad you like them!
@@BrettPapa where can I find info on how to support your channel/s ?
thanks Papa! I just purchased a beat buddy pedal and now am inspired to actually USE it! great lesson!
Awesome! Happy jamming!
I found this lesson really useful, helped me to improve my skills and gave me inspiration. Thanks man
That is awesome! Thanks for tuning in!
Always loved your videos, man. You should upload more often! haha
I will very soon! Thanks for watching!
papastache102 thank you man I was stuck with drum beats but you saved me!😇
This video is great thanks
Glad you liked it!
Sir you have done a great work .....I have learn a lot ..... looking forward for some more great music
Awesome! Glad to hear it helped you out! Thanks for watching!
This for applies to playing bass too. I took your advice and have been sounding way better
Awesome!
Great video. Just found it & now will be practicing daily until I can play in correct time.
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks! Did a search on google for how to learn to play guitar with a drummer (or something along those lines) and your youtube came up. I've just now, after years and years, started learning my music theory and working on technique and scales and playing with a metronome. I realised I really needed to learn to hear the drums and how to play with them. Had the good luck to by chance see a Beat Buddy pedal for sale locally and bought and can tell already that its making a big difference but I still feel like really hearing the drumming and being constantly aware of where I am in the count is vital. Your video gave me some good ideas for how to start doing that in a fun way beyond playing scales. More on this subject, or maybe on tying in with the bass line would be much appreciated.
For sure! I'm on it!
Really sweet Papa! Another most excellent tutorial from you! I have several of your DVD's and they are worth every cent! Thanks so much and hope you and your significant others have a very happy and healthy holidays! :)
I love this video.. thanks a lot for sharing this to all of us...i get way nervous playing with others because yeah i dont have experience with listening to others while I play... thanks for the tips ✌️
Sure thing!
Terrific lesson Brett !
Thanks for checking it out!
this is nice and something beginner stuff,
do you have any lessons on jamming on hard grooves,with time signature variations.that would be awesome ,
yet you are a good teacher i saw a video 2 years ago you appearing on a video with another teacher
This video should be mouch more easy to find. Beginners have to find and watch this while they’re looking ik practice tips or chord videos and stuff because this is a must know for a beginner!
They can immediately start having alot of fun on their guitar with the new chords and stuff they learnd, and develop a good feel for the music and riddim. I wish i knew how to play together with my drumcomputer months ago
Name it: must know strumming basics to enjoy you’re practices.
Or something like this because more people need the change to find out about this.
Thanks for checking it out!
Very useful lesson. Would love to see more vids on rhythm related exercises. For example showing how to identify
chord progressions and how to solo on top. Or, showing how to use a looper pedal for practice.
Thanks for everything you do. You're a great teacher.
You are welcome! Thanks for tuning in!
Thank you! Very Helpful. I would love seeing more rhythm with drum examples in different time signatures. Yes!!!
Coming soon! Right in the middle of making a course doing just that!
@@BrettPapa Awesome!!! Looking forward to it!
Great lesson Papa.....Thank you so much.
You are welcome!
Awesome, just what I was looking for thanks.
Awesome Phil! Glad you found what you were looking for! Thanks for tuning in!
Awesome Papa, I need to work on this, this is a great video for following drummer and being in time. I always wondered how a 3 pc band could play when guitarist would go off on a solo and there is no “rhythm” guitar supporting him, in this case it would be bass player supporting rhythm with drummer eh? I should learn how to use garage band on my Mac for putting in drum and bass and play along.
Cheers and thanks again for great lesson 👍
Sure thing! Yeah Garage Band is a fantastic tool for getting better.
Retracted. I like the video! Lots of good tips. You did all drummers a solid by putting this out there. I was looking at it all wrong!!!!
No worries man. I got some with real drummers coming soon! Thanks for watching!
Every guitarist need this lesson.
Thanks! Feel free to share it!

Nice job man...very good lesson!
Thank you sir!
thanks for this awesome lesson! suggestion for future topic... what to add in as a rythm guitarist when there's, let's say, a keyboard, who's already holding down most of the rythm... thank you.
Good idea. Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot, it’exactly what i’m trying to work now so this method is going to help me a lot !!! My main difficulty is when i make a solo to continue to be concentred on the same Time to the loop and knowing In which part of my Time i’m....
Awesome! Playing to loops will dramatically improve your playing!
Awesome lesson bro. Loved it
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Can you do a guitar lesson on the song mountain dew by the stanley brothers? I think the guitar in their version of the song is amazing but I cant find a good lesson or tutorial on it. I love your videos and I pretty much learned how to play guitar by watching you and marty schwarts. If you have the time to do a lesson on it I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
Jamming with drums is so much fun and every drummer has something a little unique.
For sure!
Very cool!! Thanks for this video!! I’m using an electronic drum pad to record a basic beat so I can record some guitar and blues harmonica over it. Recording everything with the android app audio evolution! Greatest android app I’ve ever used!
Sounds cool!
papastache102 yeah it a mobile daws studio
Thank you so much. i've been trying to figure out how to play with a click track and it's been bumming me out. I don't get it. This was perfect to help "hear" the click. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching! More like this coming soon!
Love to see part 2 and 3 and 4 to this! :) I seem to have a blind spot to this sort of thing. I can play along with the kick and snare or do 16ths when the drum are "rolling about" but it seems "too easy" sounding when I do it :-/ but it does feel like if I do more I am out of my element and I lose my way or have no anchor.
More like this coming soon. Thanks for watching!
Great! I have subbed and clicked the bell!
holy crap no haters! 0 dislikes! thats new..
Haha!
somebody disliked!
@@BrettPapa those are some insignificant twats
Great fn lesson man !!!! been looking for a lesson like this forever , maybe do another one a little more rockin and show us how to throw a little solo in there playing with a drummer ... Cheers...
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
chris pelchat hell yeah ... some varied tempos would be awesome
Brett, you have made it as a great player, but if you ever get tired of music, you would make a great comedian!
Haha thanks!
Hi Papastache, Great video. Can you please make a video lesson on playing leads with a drummer ? Example, some licks played and how to match with the drummer... Some tips on this would be very helpful for other guitarists.. There is no lesson on this in youtube.. Many thanks in advance.
Thankyou
You are welcome!
Hi papstache, that helps a lot and made a lot of fun. I implement this with a friend of mine (Drummer)
so thanks and Rock On!
Sweet! Have fun with it!
I’m 15 and been playing for 2 yrs now and this is way much fun than a metronome.
Sweet!
