Hi Everyone,
This is less of a lesson and more of a demonstration. In this video, I'm messing around with a little groove on Logic Pro X (recording software) and walking through a few different ways to approach chord voicings for the rhythm part. Its a little more informal compared to my typical videos, but I think its important to get informal because making music is often an explorative, informal, creative process. Let's just have fun with rhythm parts.
As always, thanks so much for being here and I hope you learn a lot while you're here.
If you want to play around with your own rhythm parts or discuss what went on in this video, check out the community post for this lesson.

Purchased a Boss RC-1 about 2 months ago. It’s quite simple but no complaints from a rookie like myself.

2021-03-10 17:22:19 +0000 UTCI now cringe thinking how I used to just play the same open chords as friend on rare occasions I got to jam with them. Wish would have been learning these different voicings long time ago. Been making great progress using loop pedal to loop open progressions and practice different voicings over top. Was thinking a great follow up lesson may be to give a few simple/favorite voicings that just use the bottom (thinner) strings. I’ve been having the most fun with the D shape but know that you can use pieces of harder C shape and G shape that also sound cool on these strings, right? Also would like to know if/when it makes since to accent someone playing just a standard open major progression with 7th, diminished chords etc. Thanks for all the great lessons!

2021-02-12 17:34:40 +0000 UTCIt's all about practice! Get the hang of the two-chord progression practice, then move up to three chords, then four. It gets easier and easier the more you do it to the point where 8 chords isn't twice as difficult as 4.

2021-02-03 02:59:55 +0000 UTCIs there a video (or videos) that explain chord progressions? My immediate questions after watching this video were: - How would you solo over a progression with that many switches? (compared to the two chord progressions in the solo class) - I see many songs do a typical 4-chord progression. I assume you can expand it as long as it fits in a 4 bar or 8 bar loop? I may be biting off more than I can chew haha. I still have more lessons to get through...

2020-09-17 20:28:11 +0000 UTCThis is great! I been really working through the rubiks cube videos cause i play bass guitar and acoustic rhythm guitar and know the basic chords but have been looking for ways to move “out” of the bass guitar space to sound less muddy. all the examples sounded great but i did notice the clarity of the chords coming through the mix as the examples progressed. thanks for the lesson!
