Most guitar players spend more time learning "lead" guitar than they do working on their rhythm chops. Whether you're a pro, a weekend warrior or just jam with your buds, you'll play far more rhythm guitar than lead, and have a much better chance of getting and keeping the gig if you can play great rhythm guitar. Top educator and blues-rock maestro Jeff Scheetz presents 50 Blues Rock Rhythms You MUST know!
