Many guitarists feel like they are improving, learning new licks, new chords, and new songs, but still fall apart the moment they play with other people.
If that sounds familiar, the issue is not your lead playing. It is your rhythm.
In this video, I show you the real reason your grooves fall apart when it counts, and how to fix it.
We break down subdivision, rhythmic phrasing, bar chord landmarks, pentatonic fills, and the “upbeat click” exercise that builds better time feel than anything else.
By the end of the lesson, you will understand how to lock into a groove, improvise rhythmic ideas that feel musical, and finally sound connected with the band.
